Default Electric Cart
I have a street legal Tomberlin. I started a test drive at the extreme NW of TV (Charham), went to the Pack and Ship on 466 - from there to Sam's Club (the extreme SE of the Villages - from there to Publix Mulberry (the extreme NE of TV) and then home - a total of 28 miles all done with my lights on. At the end, I was still going up the Chatham hill at 22mph and still had plenty of charge left.

If you want an electric, and if you want street legal it must be electric, the key to not getting stuck is battery maintenance. I have a tube system on mine that lets me add water to all batteries at once and cuts off filling when the battery water is full. I check it twice a month and it will always take just a little water.

If you take care of it, an electric will not leave you stranded on a golf course.
