How do you like that Breeze?

I'm not a fan of the Breeze. It rides stiff according to a couple of mechanics that I've talked to (although the one I've driven is actually pretty good). The biggest issue, though, is charging. Unlike the Club or E-Z Go, you can't just keep it plugged in. It has to get down to half a charge, then be charged up. This is something they forget to mention until you have to have it serviced because it won't hold a charge. YUCK

Always interested in learning something new.... Thanks |
Honestly don't know enough to really explain the reasoning. Just know that a friend has a Breeze and this happened to her. She explained that if I needed to use her cart, which I did, I would need to do the half-charge before charging and not to leave it charged overnight once it had a full charge. I believe she was told this by the dealer's mechanic (Villages Golf Cart?).

Fair enough, not a big deal. It just sounds a bit odd to me. A deep cycle golf cart battery is a deep cycle golf battery and I cannot believe Polaris would have a charger that does not shut off after charging the pack to 60+ volts, no matter the discharge state of the pack. Maybe a misunderstanding or a mechanic trainee giving advice :)?
My only point would be this may not be a reason for folks to not look at a Breeze. If you go to buy a Breeze, ask about this charging issue, and if you remember post here. Maybe next time my wife is shopping I will drift into a Polaris store.... I wonder if the Breeze is having some underlying range issue and they are giving a bit of spin to customers?? I have no idea, just thinking out loud.... Thanks |

I, too, have a Breeze and love it. I don't find the ride to be particularly hard, as a matter of fact, it's quite comfortable and steering the cart feels more like I'm driving a car with power steering than a golf cart. The window split and adjustable seat are great for those of us of shorter stature... ;). Don't seem to have too much trouble with it holding a charge. If we've been out and about in the cart for an extended period, we just charge it when we get in. Our range is less than what we had with our Par Car, but being able to drive comfortably offsets the charging. Everyone has different requirements in what is acceptable to them, but remember, an electric cart is just that, an electric cart and each one has different properties. Some get more miles per charge....sort of like cars that get different mileage. My suggestion to those getting a new cart, make sure you're comfortable, make sure you can live with the speed or lack thereof, and unless it's getting horrible distance, just charge up each night if necessary, it's not difficult.

Breeze - Love it
I too own a Breeze and love it! I have had it for over 15 months. It has three setting on the suspension..just need to get out the old manual to see how to change. I have driven more than 25 miles repeatedly during a single day's travel with no problems.:MOJE_whot:
