They ran a promotion here a while back and raised some money for cancer research. They drove a cart non-stop from point A to point B and they got slightly over 80 miles.
BUT... the cart they used was perfectly set up. It was brand new with brand new batteries which were completely charged. I understand it was charged more than the full charge you would get from a standard charger. They had an expert driver drive in a certain way and the whole thing was done to show that it COULD be done. You won't get 80 miles per charge on a regular basis.
The cart was given away to a lucky person who guessed the exact number of miles it would go, but the batteries were replaced because this test destroyed them.
I had seen the ads when I first got here and was ready to buy a Par Car until I checked around and heard a lot of negative stuff. I can't speak from experience, but I know a lot of people who don't like them.
Their advertising claim of 80 miles in a single charge, while not untrue, is very deceptive.
