and what is the deal with a lifted cart anyway? Trying to extract a cool factor? honestly, does anyone care what every other cart looks like? too many of them to give a darn about standing out, imho.
but that aside, if a lifted cart would be iffy in some tunnels, or worse, becomes a safety hazard due to a higher center of gravity, it would be a no-brainer to me. Don't get one

I have had a lifted electric cart since 2018. I purchased it from Crown Carts located just behind Russell Stover on CR44. Because it is electric it is not top heavy. The weight of the 8 batteries lowers the cog. I have not had any serious issues negotiating the tunnels. I live in Pine Ridge and have been as far north as the polo field and down to Brownwood in the south and to the Pinellas Place Shopping Center to the west. I purchased the lifted cart because I liked the look.

OP, you'd need to define, Lifted. There are 2" all the way to 8" for the electric carts. A 2" might give you what you need without being too tall or maybe not. I cant say.
As for why would you want a lifted cart, why not ? Some people like the looks, just like every other modification done to them. Including the silly names, while thats not for me at all I don't care if someone else does it and don't lose any sleep over it. |

Classic board mentality.

I jumped the gun. Yes I did. I did expect sometime in the future that those with lifted carts would be campaigning to have tunnels fit their higher vehicle. And I still say....to all newbies.... Live here awhile and see how well this whole place works. It is really is well thought out and well run. I can see people giving someone a second look if they have a golf cart that looks like a fire truck or a Dewars refilling station, but no one really is gonna give a wolf whistle to a little higher cart. We really are old and silly to keep talking about this. I am, anyway.

Be careful on the tire selection. Most lifted carts I have seen have knobby tires. They are not approved for the golf courses.

Me, personally, mine is about as vanilla vanilla as you can get. A couple of stickers relative to places I'm from, or have been, mostly so I can find my green cart among the other 10,000 similarly colored carts. But I certainly enjoy what others have done to theirs. It's not unusual for me to snap a picture and send it out to family members who don't live here. |

UTV Vitacci and golf cart tunnels
There are utility vehicles that are made to mimic golf carts. The suspension is superior and they carry 4 people. They have seat belts, a top, a front window and cost much less than a golf cart. This would not be used for the golf course but comes in handy when guests are in town. I never thought of buying one before until I was at Everglades and saw several south of 466A. I saw an owner of one getting in and he told me the price tag new is $6700 delivered which is far less than the cost of a golf cart. The tunnels north of 466 are lower than the tunnels south so I wouldn't count on them being able to go through. But for those who don't go up to the older sections of TV it seats 4 or the back seats go flat for a place to put a very large dog enclosure for those who have a 4 legged member of the family. If anyone has experience driving one through the tunnels I would like to know what there experience has been.
