CC's have all aluminum chassis and weight less than the others 50-75lbs, the one other minor perk is no rust stains when they get older.

I have two, one with 6 batteries the other with 4 just to further test the distance with 2 less batteries weighing about 140 lbs less.

I'll be doing a lot tests with these two when I get back.

below is the dry weight without batteries or extras

Club Car Precedent Electric: 495 Pounds
Club Car DS IQ-System Electric: 498 Pounds

EZGO RXV Electric: 571 Pounds
EZGO Medalist/TXT Electric: 550 Pounds

Yamaha G22 Electric: 549 Pounds
Yamaha G19 Electric: 560 Pounds
Yamaha G16 Electric: 560 Pounds
Yamaha G14 Electric: 560 Pounds
Yamaha G9 Electric: 519 Pounds (not bad)
Yamaha G8 Electric: 556 Pounds
Jimbo - Thank you for posting this information. This is why I enjoy reading TOTV. I see you live in Fernandina -- how far have you driven your Club Cars in one day and/or what is your typical daily usage of your Club Cars?
