[The New PbK]

Is anyone aware of a dealer near the Villages that offers the Star Sirius 2+2 with the 210AH Lithium Battery ?
Would like the upgraded seats with moveable armrests as well.
The Villages Golf Cars has them, but they are outrageously expensive!

A simple Google search indicates your answer to both models. Are you a dealer that may happen to sell these exact carts?

If you have to have one, check facebook market place, they lose half their value in about two years.

For discussion purposes,is a 210 ah battery worth it? I’m looking for an electric cart and debating the battery size issue. Obviously, the larger the battery the fewer worries about running low on juice. However, given that you can charge the battery every night and that it doesn’t seem reasonable to drive the cart more than 50 miles in a day, I think the largest battery needed is one that reliably goes 50 or 60 miles. The 160 ah battery goes about 65 miles. Do you want a 85 mile battery if you won’t travel 85 miles? It seems to me a 100 ah (40 miles) to 160 ah(65 miles) is the sweet spot.

Sunshine Golf carts in Ocala. Bought my Star 4-5 years ago, $5000 less than Villages Golf Cart quoted. & yes, they pick up & deliver in TV for service. Great place. I think Tom is still the manager: 352) 355-3254

You won't get 65 miles out of a 160 Amp in The Villages.

You'll be lucky to get 65 miles out of a 210 Amp.

Don't listen to all the nonsense about how the 210A goes "90+ miles". Yeah, with one person in it, driven at 10-15 mph.

I have a 210 Amp Star. I've never seen 65 miles.

The 210A (at least in the 2 seater) will usually come programmed for about 25-26 mph. Faster than allowed in a golf cart, but it can be turned down.

How many miles would your 210 ah golf cart take you?

If you're asking me, I think the real world serviceable mileage on a 210 Amp is between 50-60 miles. To give you some basis for comparison, I had a 110A for a loaner once. Ran the battery dead at about 20-23 miles.

I also have a 210Ah Star 2+2, and I agree that 60 miles is about right. My Star cart doesn't get used much because I find my Yamaha gas cart to be better for golf, which is the primary use of the cart. My wife drives the Star, but not all that much.

If I had it to do over again I'd probably strongly consider a MadJax, which I think are 160Ah (through the villages golf cars) . They are cheaper than the Star (I paid $26K for the Star and I think the MadJax are around $16K). But more importantly they are smaller and more nimble than the Star and they have tremendous acceleration. I have ridden in one a couple of times on golf courses in playing partners carts and was impressed.

I believe this a valid question. What actual mileage might you get leaving your house on a chilly 40 degree January morning? Most likely not 65 miles.

Don't put much trust into estimated mileage or certainly advertised mileage. Those who are skeptical of electric carts will estimate low while those who are selling carts will advertise high.

Apples to kumquats comparison: My 2019 E-Z Go appears to have a 108Ah battery (a single pack is 54.6Ah and it appears to be a stack of two packs). It was advertised as "up to 60 miles." I have driven it 45 miles at least twice. I am no longer confident that I would get any more than 50 miles out of a single charge.

While 45 is considerably less than 60, it is a long day on the golf cart. Both Walmart on 466 and Middleton are 11 miles from the Eisenhower Rec center. A round trip to either is 22 miles and close to two hours in the cart.

The amount of time I want to spend in the cart limits me more than the capacity of the battery.

It's not a Star Cart but check out Adventure EV in Wildwood. They're in the same plaza as Ace Hardware.

They carry a couple brands, but the Venom carts are what we drove. 210 battery and great bang for the buck. Comes with a sound system, led lights and custom wheels.

They're very well made, and they custom make the enclosures in house using top quality material.
Lots of colors and patterns to choose from.

We have Yamaha Quietech now, but Venom will be our next cart.

The price for the 2 seater we wanted with enclosure was $17,000. Not sure what the 4 seater would be.

The dealer is a great guy. And yes, they pick up and deliver in TV.

I think nothing of carting from the southern most Eastport area to the far north in TV. Shallow Creek to the VA Outpatient Clinic.
Anything less than a 210 battery would give me range anxiety. The Mad Jac was in my sights, but not anymore.
Even going from Eastport to LSL would be in question in a 160 Mad Jax.
Seems like a gas 4 forward will be my only choice.

The star cart will connect to your iPhone. When new I was getting 72 to 76. But but but who puts 60 miles a day on a cart.

I just bought a Tesla. I used to be anti battery. Till I did the deep reviews. Best vehicle I have owned. Stop listening to naysayers. Also my star consistently gets 25 mph
