Same here. There is maintenance and repairs. The maintenance is easy, the repairs might not be. Fortunately, there is a good probability that your cart will go a long ways without needing any repairs. My 2014 Yamaha is over 10 years old and has been trouble free. Here is my maintenance schedule:

50 hours: change oil
500 hours: change rear differential fluid
1000 hours: change spark plug and air filters
500 hours: rotate tires
200 hours: lube both clutches
200 hours: check free play in brake cable, check drive belt width, check starter/generator belt, check toe-in and adjust as necessary, look over the cart, etc.
monthly: check tire pressure
batteries last about 5 years, best to preemptively change them before they fail
