At the risk of muddling your mind further, why not reconsider a gas cart. The misgivings and problems you have with your electric is shared by many other owners. The cost and hassle of keeping electrics at top efficiency over the long haul is significant. As TV has grown, more electric owners have problems negotiating the distances. It's no surprise that gas carts are now outselling electrics by a very wide margin. It's also true that many electric owners feel carrying a tow rope is a necessity.
The odor and noise complaints about gas carts are overblown well beyond reality and some electric owners voice those concerns simply because they are trying to find some reasons why they didn't choose a gas cart themselves. Check out the previous threads where the gas/electric debate usually rises to a hilarious, irrational level. Folks here have their preferences and sometimes don't let things like facts stand in their way.
So be objective and patient as you sound like you've been so far. If you really want a new cart but would like to save hundreds, maybe thousands, consider a complete rebuilt cart from a place like Masters golf cars on 441, or go to a dealer in Ocala who will sell you the same brand new cart you can by in TV for a significantly lower price. Good luck!
