Hi Paul!
Have you considered an EZGO RXV? I have a 2010 that I purchased new 3 years ago and absolutely love the cart. I have over 8,000 miles on it and it has never given me any trouble. I have the 4/12 volt batteries. I think if I would do it over again, I would opt for the 6/8 volt configuration for greater range, not that range was ever a problem. We live in Pennecamp and played 9 holes in Amberwood or Oakleigh and came back home with plenty of power just to give you a real world experience of the range of the cart.
The EZGO has an AC motor which maintains speed up hills where other electrics slow down. It has regenerative braking which puts power back into the batteries when coasting or braking. It has auto brake lock which locks up automatically within 2-3 seconds after you stop. Great when playing golf, you do not have to manually depress the brake pedal to park the cart.
