Atomic Kool Karts?
 
Mrs. EDJ is thinking she might like an Atomic Kool Kart. The A/C and solid side surfaces appeal to her. She's on the shorter side, just below 5-foot.

Anyone have thoughts or insights on these karts?

TIA

Currently three for sale on the Classifieds. I looked and could not tell (was not in the description or pics) if they have adjustable seats but I thought they did? She will have the same issue in a golf cart unless she has the optional adjustable seats and or gets the back support or the pedal extensions. I thought it might be cool to have one.

The seats are adjustable. Several threads on the Atomic.

Thank you, will do a forum search this evening after dinner or in the morning with a cup of coffee. Thanks for the reminder.

Consider the doors if she wants to go golfing....

Thanks VT, she is not a golfer. Has golfed in a scramble league for half a year, is indifferent to ever golfing again.

She'd have to open them but it will let out all the air conditioning. :D. 20,000+ miles 6 years and still going strong on the same set of Lithium batteries.

Do they fit through all the tunnels?

Atomic
 
Yes, they make it through all of the tunnels but you have to proceed slowly through some of them and know where your tires are relative to the curb which takes practice. It's a bit unnerving going over the old bridge to Orange Blossom and the narrow path on the north side of Harmswood. She will appreciate the Atomic more when the weather is hot, cold, or rainy. Plus, it will not stink up the tunnels with fumes. For a non-golfer, I would say the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages.

These Atomic Kool Kart do not belong on our golf cart trails. While I was cursing at 19-20 mph, I had one tail gating me the other day and it felt like I had a car on my tail... The experience was intimidating, and these mini cars using our golf cart and walking trails should be addressed by The Villages.

I tell anyone who asks that I love my Atomic. She is a cart and goes anywhere a cart can go, but in comfort. She has adjustable seats, seatbelts, as well as air, heat, back-up camera, a windshield wiper and plenty of room for groceries, chairs and what have you. We use our regular cart for golf but have seen plenty of atomics on the golf course.

No problem with the doors and golf
I play 2 to 3 times per week

Until and unless the laws change, you will see us everywhere. Get used to it. Cursing won’t help.

We own one it's mainly for my wife and she loves it. It's great for the cold and really hot weather. She is also short and loves driving it. We use our Yamaha for Golf.
