I might be wrong but I thought you could get an EZGO with the 8/6 batteries. That would be an awesome combination for an electric. Personally, I went with a gas remanufactured club cart from Grandpa's/Grandma's Buggies---great people to deal with and no problems.

Thanks for all the great info....bought a EZGO RXV 2014 (6/8v batteries) yesterday from T&C, love the AC motor and automatic parking break. Got it yesterday afternoon and put about 15 miles on it. There are a lot of great carts out there and it comes down to personal choice. Will buy a second cart early next year.

We live in Gilchrist and faced the same dilema due to being so far south.
We ended up buying a 2014 Yamaha gas golf cart.
I really wanted electric but didn't want to worry about the range,
and filling the batteries all the time.

I drove the Yamaha electric and EZGO electric and liked the
EZGO because it didn't slow down on hills as much and was
very peppy.
I did find that the EZGO feels smaller inside which I did
not like.

The Yamaha gas is fuel injected (the 2013 and 2014 models)
so you don't get any smell, which was very important to me.

We did our due diligence and found The Villages golf stores
the way to go. (just my humble opinion!)

Just ordered Dad his new EZGO from Town and Country in Spanish Springs. Good pricing and very nice to work with. The owner and salesman also work on their carts so they know the carts inside and out.

I am on my second EZGO and have enjoyed them both. The guys at T & C are great, highest praise for after sale service.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Just as there have been Ford guys and chevy guys so too will there be Par Car guys and club car guys, etc.

Just as with the same brand car( all equipment equal) will yield different mph based on the owners driving habits, maintenance history and location etc so too will you have different ranges with electric golf carts.

I have a club car with 3 year old 6-8 v batteries and have plenty of juice to travel north and south. I live mid-way between either destinations.

I had a larger motor and discovered when I needed extra juice it was there. However going faster only place undue force on the brakes and batteries. so I replaced it with a standard motor and found I still enjoyed the ride.

I played Baseline recently and discovered after playing 18 holes I didn't much like hearing all the noise and all the jerky motions. It cured me for the time being for considering gas cart. I would rather update batteries every three or four years than do drive to a gas station to gas up and /or do the oil changes etc. that a gas cart requires.

Again its a personal choice and for each of us the only one we need to satisfy is ourselves...and of course our wife's and mine prefers an electric cart

Great choice anyone one of the 3 will leave you stranded
Don't worry someone with a gas cart will be more that happy assist you

Paulz, Very best wishes for many hours of enjoyment! From another EZGO owner way up in Woodbury.

Hi Richard

If you go back to my last communication on page 2 you will see that we went with EZGO. I agree best electric currently available.

Hi Paul,
It would be very much appreciated if you posted what you finally find out about electric cars . I am almost in the same situation as you are . Thank you
ozia

[graciegirl]

We have one of each. Our gas cart has never left us stranded. Not so our fancy, quiet, non smelly, non polluting electric one that is much newer.


Did anyone see Sixty Minutes last night?

Hi:

We purchased a 2014 EZGO electric from T&C in SS. Yesterday we went to the craft fare at SS, took a joy ride through the northeastern part of TV, came back to Collier down BV, then did a cruise through Hillsborough. Over 30 miles on a half charge, listening to Rob Thomas on Pandora through my iPhone paired with a boom speaker.

Needless to say we are very comfortable with our decision. Ozia41, PM me with your phone number if you want to chat about it.

Paul
