Don't know what requirements and limitations would be but have heard one could save several $K over purchasing a golf cart.
I have a UTV/GolfCart conversion of a American Sports Works gas-electric (yes, both !!) Hybrid 2WD/4WD "golf cart". It has Village golf courses approved Turf Tires, is only inches larger than most carts (fits in all tunnels and parking spots). Has seating for four, with 3-point seat belts. The rear facing bench seat converts into a tiltable truck bed. It has a Subaru 4-stroke v-twin, 653cc gas engine, 4 12v sealed cell batteries with sealed on-board charger (i.e. just plug-in to any a/c outlet). Top speed 22mph, 18mpg (gas), and CVT transmission, on-demand 4wd, custom black ballistic nylon side curtains. Call me 352 753 8120. Ron
