It is unclear if you are asking about buying a new cart or understanding the issue with your cart. In either case the brand of a cart as it relates to range is not nearly as significant as the battery configuration. In the SAME cart, 4-12v batteries do not have as much range as 6-8v batteries which do not have as much same range as 8-6v batteries.

A Club Car with 4-12V batteries will not have nearly the same range as a Club Car with 8-6v batteries.

I do not for a second presume you do not already know what I am about to say and hope I do not sound condescending in any way. This is for new sparky owners who may be unfamiliar.

As far as your current cart slowing down, I think everyone that owns an electric cart should invest in a multi-meter. You can get a nice digital one for less than $50, likely much less. They are easy to use, if I was around, I would have you over for a beverage if you felt uncomfortable using.

For a cart to slow down as you describe, the pack needs to be seriously depleted. This should not happen in a short distance. When loss of speed happens, you need one key piece of information as a start to diagnose. Grab your multi-meter and....

What is the voltage of my pack as a whole? What is the voltage of each of my batteries?

Then you have some info to take next step. Depending on your voltage readings, it may have nothing to do with the pack itself.

PS. Thank you for choosing electric.
