Gas. An older electric Par car came with our house. It stalls in the rain. We bought a 2015 Yamaha and love it. We have been here one year and have 5000 miles on it.

Waiting for our New Gas Yamaha to be delivered. We test drove the 2017 quite gas model and was impressed. When they say quiet it's true. Since my hearing is terrible I bought the 2016 Yamaha with a Carburetor but my vision is fine so I'd rather look at $2000 still in the bank. To answer your question I really don't think either decision is wrong. Good Luck.

2017 Yamaha gas; darn near as quiet as electric; 240+ miles on a tank of gas allows you to drive as long as your rear can stand it and not having to stop to re-charge. Give it a serious look.

Nothing against electric...the quiet is nice. But I fill up my gas cart once every few weeks or so. Nothing else required. That's a no-brainer for me.

When I moved here in 2006 electric carts dominated. A guy I played golf with and lived north of 466 was one of the few guys I knew who owned a gas cart. I asked him why he chose a gas cart? he said I made my living working on electric motors enough said..and stopped the conversation. At that time TV didn't much go beyond Mallory
Walkers like gas carts because they can hearing them approaching |

Very interesting.
Do you have them on your cart, or have you just heard/seen where folks have been converting? Any info or links on converting over from lead acid batteries? Thanx! |

4500 miles is in excess of what Yamaha recommends for oil changes. The air filter and spark plug can probably go longer.

We test drove the 2017 Yamaha and also thought it was very quiet. They also changed the rear suspension to be independent; my wife thought it rode better than our 2014 Yamaha. Anyone interested in buying a new cart may want to take it for a spin.

I follow you. I would suggest that oil changes follow the Yamaha recommendation of 1250 miles going forward after your first change at 900 miles. I would not wait until 4500 miles for the next oil change. I do my own work so I tend to error on the conservative side. The good news is the Yamaha engines appear to be bullet proof.

Gas.
.
If you buy an electric cart, be sure to always carry the phone number of a cart recovery and towing company in your pocket. You might want to purchase towing insurance. And start putting away some money now for the cost of replacing all of those batteries. Remember, it is recommended that you replace all of them at the same time. I've had both, and am now a confirmed gas cart man. |

If you forget to change your electric cart or have a very busy day in it, remember, it's very difficult for you spouse to bring you a gallon of battery juice when you run out.

I certainly have an opinion, but I will not, because I suspect this is a fun TOTV game. It goes like this:
I could be wrong…
