It also seems 205 aH batteries are hard to find these days so they are using 160. Someone mentioned Evolution doesn't have the 205 either right now. Evolution height is now listed at over 83". It's hard to find a dealer as the website wants all your info just to go look at one.
I have the Evolution D5 Ranger with the 205ah battery. My last two carts were Yamaha Drive 2. This is the best cart I have ever owned. Better ride, more features, and a LOT less money.

The height issue is easily remedied. You have two options:

1) You can go with smaller tires. Standard are 14" tires - you can go with 12" or 10"
2) You can lower the rear of the cart by simply cutting the rear supports and lowering the roof. This lowers the cart by as much as 2.5". (Rear is taller than front). The dealer can do this for you.

I did both of these on my cart. I have 12" (215/40r12) tires (dealer swapped at no charge), and I lowered my roof by 2.25". My cart is now nearly the same height as a Yamaha.

If you're going to lower the roof, do it before you get your rain enclosure installed.

I'm coming up on 4,000 miles, and love it!
