The Villages Golf Carts just posted THIS VIDEO showcasing EZGO's IntelliGauge which, among other things, allows the owner to directly set both acceleration and deceleration on a 1-4 scale.

I have an EZGo built before this new feature. I don't have any problem at all with the acceleration or deceleration - it is what it is and I got used to it just like any other vehicle I have driven. Accelerates too quickly for corners? Try not pushing the pedal all the way to the floor. Automatically brakes too quickly? Try not taking your foot entirely off the pedal.

I wonder how much the new feature will be used. I suspect most will set the speed to max (which appears to be 20mph) the acceleration and deceleration to full or nearly full and never touch it again. Nice to be able to configure it to how you like it but not something you would use more than a couple of times.
