Golf carts that exceed 20 mph have to be made street legal.....Tags, insurance, brakes, etc. I suspect some of the cart companies don't want the liability of setting the governors to a higher speed.

Have had lead-acid golf carts in the past and will no longer get 1 of those. $1000 every 4-5 years to replace the batteries. Also, you need to check the water level in the batteries every quarter and these batteries start losing their range of charge as time passes.
If you want electric, lithium is the best choice for both maintenance and length of service and range. The big downside is paying $3000-$4,000 for a new set of lithium batteries every 7 years. If you are environment conscience, batteries of any kind are a major waste issue. We just bought a new Yamaha drive2 gas cart and love it, quiet, no smell, 300+ mile range. The main maintenance you need to do is change the oil once a year and maybe adjust the valves. Down the road many many years from now, you will need an engine rebuild which is fairly cheap compared to replacing batteries |

This is off topic, but while not new to ToTV, I'm confused by posters simply typing "///" as a response. What does "///" mean?

We bought Evolution. Love it. No regrets. We are able to ride with all 4 seats filled from Citrus Grove to Sumpter Landing and back on 40% battery use. We only charge this battery when it’s between 10-15% per manufacturer recommendation.

Electric Golf Cart
I purchased a Crown golf cart from Crown carts. They are located behind Russell Stover candy, Wildwood, FL. We have had it for 2 years and love it. It has air, heat, AM/FM stereo, Toyota suspension and discuss brakes. I have attached a photo. We paid $14k new. Check it out.

After using my diesel tractor, the two stroke chainsaws, weed wacker, and backpack leaf blower all summer and fall, the gas smell from the Yamaha golf cart in the winter is unnoticeable. It’s all relative.
