Tomberlin has 4 wheel disc breaks (hydralic and not mechanical) . . . that alone should seal the deal if you are going to be out on the road. Tomberlin also is heavier and more stable than the other street legals . . . certainly a plus if someone hits you in the side. Go up to any cart and push them from the side roof at the drivers side and compare how they feel and you will only go on the road in a Tomberlin.

My Tomberlin only did about 22-23 on the streets and I had the dealer pick it up for a yearly check and now the thing is 2-3 MPH faster . . . did 28 yesterday for the first time on a slight decline and only for a short distance and I certainly would never want to go any faster than that. I've often put 25-35 mile on the cart w/o recharging so I'm also happy with the range.

No matter what brand you get go with an automatic water fill system (Gem car batteries are sealed and do not need water . . . that is a plus for them).

ps . . if it is street legal then you are covered under AAA for tows and flats!
