We have had both. When we first moved here we had an electric. It was OK but my wife ran the batteries down a couple of times and I had to go and get her. I had to push it from the postal station one time. She drove off one time with the charger still plugged in, pulled the charger off the wall and down the drive. There is suppose to be a switch to prevent this, the dealer had disconnected it. She also tripped over the charging cable and broke her arm. We ended up trading it for a gas. She feels better about not getting stranded and not having to mess with the charger. We now have two gas carts and like them both. High speed gears will make a gas cart a lot quiter, so I have installed the H.S. gears in both. Not for the speed but for making it run quiter and get better gas mileage.
