I don't drive a golf cart, therefore, I was wondering if driving 50 miles during any given day is feasible. My question is directed to those who do drive golf carts. Thank you for your response.

1 The Cart 2 The Body For the Cart (2 possibilities – gas or electric): Gas Cart: Absolutely capable of being driven all day long, as long as you have enough gas. If you assume that the cart is doing the ‘legal maximum speed’ of 20mph and being driven for 24 hours, you’d travel 480 miles. You’d need a gas fill-up at half way (240 miles) and your 2nd tank would be almost empty at the end of the 480 miles. If you have more than 1 person in the cart, you may have to fill the gas tank more than once. But the cart is capable. I should say that the cart is “capable – maybe”. I don’t know if a golf cart is designed/engineered to be driven for that many hours at one time! Electric Cart: Might be capable of driving 50 miles or more in one day. It all depends on the type of batteries, number of batteries, capacity of batteries, and age of batteries. From what I’ve researched, a ‘big’ set of Lithium batteries (such as sold in the E-Z-GO Freedom RXV Elite 4.2) might provide as much as a 100 mile range (about 5 hours of travel). I suppose it also depends on how many people are in the cart. More people will reduce the range……don’t know by how much. For the Body: The cart may be able to go hundreds of miles in a day (gas) or up to 100+ miles in a day (electric). But that’s just the machine. The real question is, what can a human body handle? Many people have mentioned how important good quality seats are for enjoying your driving time. Also, radial tires and proper inflation can help. But your own physical condition is the limiting factor. Sore backs, sore kidneys, poor circulation, mental exhaustion will most likely limit your driving time much sooner than the mechanical capability of the golf cart will. At least, that's my spin on it!

Yup, it's very feasible. Been there and done that, but it is only an occasional thing.

I might drive 50 miles a day at times but I never worry about running out of gas.

No, do the math. If I "average" 20 MPH, I would be driving 2 1/2 hours, with no AC, rougher ride, no radio, fumes, chance of something flying into my eye(s), and dealing with people who cross over center line(bridges paralleling Morse near Lake Sumter) etc.
Stick to the car when going 10 miles one way from home. |

We have done 100 miles once or twice. Now with the new bridges it could be more. Did a 4 hour ride the other day but don’t have the miles.
