[REDCART]

One of my neighbors was adamant that all electric golf carts should be stored in "tow" mode. I had remembered reading in the owner's manual not to do so but the manual did not say why. According to Kyle at Town and Country Golf Carts, the EZGo RXV electrics with the AC motor do not use a standard parking brake. At rest the motor armature is magnetically gripped to prevent the cart from moving. In tow mode, the motor armature is released and held open which requires continuous battery power. Therefore if you left the EZGo RXV cart in tow mode you would eventually deplete the battery.
