There must be a reason why EZGO carts are the best-selling in the country. They’re the most popular with golf courses. There must be a reason.
I’ve had EZGO carts for over 25 years, wouldn’t have another brand.

I think it's a CA law that any electric vehicle has to make some kind of sound so that people can't sneak up on other people. While test driving other brands none of them had it, just the Evolution. Like your back up beeper, its a device that plugs into the controller and when the cart is driving at 18mph or less it makes a sound. I located the device that makes the sound and unplugged it. They have a FB group with all kinds of tips about the cart.

I have 5 reasons why I would not buy one of those.
1- They are made 100% in China. 2- They are completely made in China! 3- They are manufactured in China. 4- They are 100% made in China. 5- They are made in China. Yes the dealer will tell you that they are assembled in Orlando or Ocala, big deal, they put the wheels on and the roof with enclosure and say that final assembly was in USA, BS! 6- for your information, the Star cart that the Villages sells are 100% Chinese as well, Star is the largest EV manufacturer in that world domination Communist state. |

Fact: If you own a golf car that is capable of going over 20mph and is not registered as a LSV, you have an unregistered motor vehicle. If somebody crashes into you and the cops are called, you will get a ticket for operating an unregistered motor vehicle. Prepare for your court date on a felony charge and get ready to pay around $255, plus the expense of having your cart set back to 20mph. There is a reason for limiting carts to 20mph. Above that, they are unstable, and much more likely to flip over during an emergency situation. They are designed to carry your bag around a golf course.

"every cart" is capable of going over 20mph, it just depends on how it's set & I DON'T have an unregistered MV.

For those who want more speed out of their golf cart without it being street legal ......
Well, wait till you get clocked and stopped. The fine (s), and there will be several, will be shockingly excessive. While many do get away with enjoying the extra mph, those few who have been ticketed, have a sorry story to tell. |

If you are looking for a Lithium then you must consider range, and the Star Sirius gives you an honest 60+ miles on an advertised 80 mile range. I think they are made in SC. EZ-GO has a good ride but the pedals are too far back for me. I'm a little over 6' tall and the Yamaha offers the best ride IMHO. My Yamaha is a 2021 gas and I'm really hoping soon Yamaha will get serious with Lithium and get beyond the disappointing effort they put out last year. If Yamaha ever does make a 80+ mile electric they will dominate the market. |

The thing to look at here is percentage over the speed limit. 75 on a highway where the speed limit is 70 is 7% over the limit. Going 25 in your golf cart and you're 25% over the limit. Your not going 25% over a speed limit but over the limit which requires your vehicle to be registered and insured. The big difference is that if you get stopped for going 75 on the turnpike, (which will never happen) you'll get a ticket and maybe a $100 fine. If you get stopped for going 25 on a street in your cart you'll be cited for driving an unregistered vehicle which carries a fine of at least $600 and possible loss of license. You'll probably never get stopped for going 24 mph or less. The problem occurs if you get into an accident. At that point, the authorities will test your cart for maximum speed and if it's over 20, you could be in very serious trouble. And, of course, comparing a golf cart to a lawn mower is absurd as everyone recognizes. The only purpose for making a statement like that is to annoy people. I wonder why anyone would want to do that.
