The 4 wheel hydraulic brakes is a good selling point, but I wonder if there is a significant difference when you are travelling only 20 mph?

the difference is they are hydraulic instead of a cable that over time gets corroded and can break when braking hard in an emerency. with a lsv and if a hydraulic failure happened you can fall back on the emergency brake which is a cable driven standby. many serious accidents here are tip overs and the lsv has the weight to prevent that, in the rare event that it did flip they have sturdy roll bars as opposed to the flimsy aluminum frame of a golf cart. im basing my comments on my tomberlin as opposed to my former ezgo golf cart.
