You can/could pull over and let them pass no need for intimidation.

Just this week, I have seen two unoccupied on the side of the path. They looked fairly new, so not sure about their reliability.

This is very helpful, thank you. She is short, doesn't golf, and for her convenience and comfort are primary considerations. So the a/c, etc appeal to her greatly.

Atomic has several different models. I’m not sure which one you are looking at. My wife has the coupe. She is petite and the seat is adjustable so there are no issues there. The range at about 60 miles (probably more like 50 with the AC on) is more than sufficient. She has the golf package (golf bag rack and turf friendly tires) and does use it to play golf but a regular golf cart is a bit more convenient. There have been no issues with the cart.

Anyone have thoughts or insights on these karts?

TIA

Your issue is with the driver and not the golf cart. Would you have felt better is you were being tailgated by a Yamaha?

We have ours over 3 years. Bought it used from atomic carts. It’s a 2017 Love it! The doors no problem playing golf. You definitely get used to it. Heat and air conditioning are great ! Windshield wipers too! Have to charge it; we had to upgrade after 2 years to a new battery. Worth the price.
Just pay attention to your battery and we never charge while sleeping or when away. You can check them out, they let you take a test drive.
I was against at first. Took the test drive and loved it. Got a good price. They negotiated a little down. Check into a used one.

I have seen various carts parked along the path usually people walking the dog, fishing in the ponds or watering the bushes.

I agree! After experiencing how uncomfortable it was on the path outside Harmeswood and the northern tunnels, I had my Atomic coupe made "street legal" immediately. I never had a problem on the streets as long as I stayed in the right-hand lane. You're even allowed to CROSS the CRs 466, 466A, 401, etc. where there are signals. Highly recommend STREET LEGAL.

[MaryMS]

Absolutely no problem with doors on the golf course. Many of my friends ask to ride with me when it’s hot, cold, or rainy. No canvas to worry about flapping around. Belongings are securely locked inside when inside a business. Room for the dog !

I too am considering an Atomic cart, street legal, for local use and occasional trips to Orlando and perhaps Atlanta.
thoughts appreciated.

Now, that’s funny.

I’ve been tailgated by Atomic cars as well as traditional golf carts. The problem is not the cart; the problem is speeding. I drive 20 mph and am tailgated or passed virtually every time I’m out.
