How is it possible to "set" and electric cart to go faster than the preset from the factory? Is your neighbor's cart a street legal cart?

However, remember the golf cart is a glorified lawn mower and not a dumbed down racing car. The suspension was not designed to go much faster and it can become unstable. |

My husband's stepmother wore a hole through the floor of the passenger side of the car with her high heels. She had never learned to drive.

I take my dog on two golf cart rides a day, ending at a rec center for his walk or to the dog park . 5 year old cart had 52,000 miles on it . They are also much easier to find a parking space for . Gas is the only choice. There is NO warning when an electric runs out of charge ; the gauges are not linear .

I wonder if any Yamaha Gas Cart has ever broken the 75,000 or 100,000-mile mark without an Engine Block Replacement? That would be some selling point, wouldn't it? GrumyOldMan, why not call J & J Golf Cart Rental and esplain to them what you're trying to accomplish Phone: 352 259-9701.
Sharon Star at The Villages Golf Cart 352-750-3410 and esplain to her the thing you are trying to decide. I believe your decision will be a whole lot easier than you think it is. You could flip a coin. Nobody told you our new friend, once you decide which kind of cart now you have to decide from where? Oh Boy! Everybody, Mostly Everybody had the best place to buy a cart. You are doing great. Most people have the same indecision as you. I just can't get the vision of a friend of ours who needed batteries in both of his Pristine E-Z Golf Carts and got the news about both inside of one week. The Tears In His Eyes were Gigantic. It was sad to see him have to face the music! $$$ He fixed one and bought a beautiful brand new Yamaha Gas from The Villages Golf Carts. Imagine Pull in, report the problem drive out in a loaner inside of 15 minutes. No waiting for a repairman to show at your house. Good Luck Grump. You are going to do fine. |

Our first was a used 4 seater electric. It was all we had here for awhile. What I found was it was adequate to go from Belle Aire to 466a and back, but not if I golfed there with a passenger, or if I had it loaded with 2 or 3 other people, which cuts your range considerably, especially coming up out of tunnels with the load. Then there was the long 5 hours or so to recharge back. We do a lot and if we went out for breakfast, golfed, then maybe out in afternoon for a store, and to a town square, it was not a good charging cycle for the lead acid batteries. We moved to Springdale and opted for a new Yamaha quiet gas cart and it is nice to not worry about carrying our charger if we visit family or friends was down south. Kept the electric for when family visits. Electric only let me down two or three times. So I think it depends on your driving.

Just purchased a new electric cart about a month ago. I figure by the time I need to replace the batteries, either the lithium battery will be much cheaper, or the newest, aluminum battery, which will recharge in seconds, will replace my old batteries.

Between our home and our two rentals we own 4 golf carts: one older gas, one Yamaha Quiet Tech, one acid battery, and one lithium battery. We switch them around depending on whether the renters have four people. The older gas one I don’t like to drive, I find it much too noisy, but since it’s included in the rental my tenants love it. The Yamaha Quiet Tech still seems loud to me, but it is quieter than the older gas one. We prefer riding in the electric carts due to the noise. Both seem to get us from our house to Nancy Lopez and then down to Brownwood, but once they open the bridges to Southern Oaks, we will probably take the gas cart. We find the most important thing is comfy seats.
And we prefer golf cart errands to car errands, so we don’t use the car anywhere near as much as the carts. |

My personal preference, and weakness, is gas, but wife is not so keen on it, that's why I am stuck in the lanai most evenings.

That's what Kart Aide is for. Very inexpensive to have peace of mind, especially if you can't remember to plug in your cart.
