Two things I don't get here. I keep hearing people say that gas carts are more difficult to maintain. One of the primary reasons that electrics are preferred by so many golf courses, and many hilly courses were relieved when Club Car first made a cart that would go multiple rounds and they could finally get rid of their gas carts, is that they are much less expensive to maintain. They have fewer moving parts and require less service.

Again, I'm not talking about brand new carts. You probably won't see any kind of maintenance expenses in the first coupe of years with any vehicle.

The second thing I keep hearing is the danger of electric cart batteries. I can't believe that anyone thinks that batteries posed more of a danger than a plastic tank full of gasoline and another full of motor oil.
