The specs lust "off road" tires which are not permitted on the golf courses. The tread would make for a noisy ride on the streets and MMPs.

Really A Coleman ELECTRIC Golf Cart?? How long is that going to last???
Will you be able to get parts in 2 years??? Absolute JUNK.

I knew someone who purchased a Coleman 4 stroke outboard motor because it was a COLEMAN.
Biggest piece of junk, he wasted his money. Just because it says Coleman doesnt mean it's any good.

You would be better off buying a preowned YAMAHA Golf Cart for $7,995.00
It will last forever.

As mentioned, parts of most everything comes from China these days.

I've owned stuff from China in the past (loved Harbor Freight so people who have shopped there know what I mean). Stuff is not necessarily bad, the problem is the quality control. Or no quality control. Case in point: about 15 years ago I bought a Wen 10" drill press from Amazon. The price was right: about $100 less than an equivalent-sized press from better-known American manufacturers. Got it, set it up, and it worked flawlessly. In fact it was one of the few tools I sold when I moved here that I got more on the resale than I paid for the tool. But the base had four bolt-holes on the mounting apparatus that didn't line up with the rest of the tool. Before I could mount it permanently I had to bore out those holes so that they lined up. As I said, worked flawlessly, but with quality control that we might be used to, that press if built here would never have made it out the door.

Tires should be standardized as should be the top speed of a golf cart - no altering of the governor should be allowed.

Iv'e seen the one at Walmart. The rear seat you would need a step to get in it. Lift kit, lug tires, Chinese built, sorry not for me.

[maistocars]

Only 40 miles per charge? Don't the EZ-GO and Star get about 60?

If you take Chinese out of anything you would likely have nothing.

Posters should be standardized, one post per day….

It looks like Walmart (ChinaMart) is helping China unload old technology golf carts. These are not built for Villages needs and will end up costing significant money later for accessories and battery replacements.

If you want the flexibility to travel anywhere in the expanding Villages community, it is currently safer to select a gas engine cart for now. The lithium carts are getting better but you will be stuck if the battery runs out while you are traveling long distance to the new areas of the Villages! My gas golf cart goes 300 miles on a tank and I only fill it once a month..

We have a 2023 Ezgo Liberty with the tallest roof top that I have seen on Village carts. We have driven through every shorter tunnel in the northern Villages without a problem as long as you don’t drive too close to the walls. If a cart is lifted, then you might want to check the roof height before attempting to go thru those tunnels.

Three or four years from now there will be lots of these for sale used at fire sale prices. And if enough people get suckered into buying these, look for a substantial increase in the price of golf cart rescue services.

Not just the tires but isn't there a weight and width limit on carts allowed on the course.
