Golf Cart Feedback

[SGSST109E]

I am thinking about getting a golf cart. Would you go with gas or electric? New or used?

[GTX JOHN]

Used Gas

My .02 worth

They batteries are a fortune on electric and range
has limitations

Go with the gas! I bought electric and have had to replace batteries every couple years at $700 a pop so it doesn't take long to add up to the price difference. Plus if you need to tow your car for any reason the electric is not going to do it, unless ofcourse you would like to buy mine I will get a gas one. 😊

Defina GAs tat away from electric. Major cost to replace batteries. Used between $500 and $5000 depending on what you buy---new $ 5000 to $10000 depending on what you buy-- if you buy used stay away from Harley hard to find parts for-- get something a little more contemporary not an antique if it breaks again hard to find repair parts. It all depends on your budget!!!!!

Gas is the best for what we use them for .
Electrics will tow a car better as they have more torque ,but the charging time can be an issue , you cannot fast charge them without reducing the life of the batteries. ....Plus they are VERY heavy .
Club Car is an excellent choice for many because it is the lightest cart out there due to its aluminum frame and ABS plastic body.
Kawasaki engine is strong and durable plus the rev limiter and governor are very easy to defeat. ....Mine can hit 40 mph with no gear or engine mods.

Gas. they are lighter and only one battery to replace every 4-5 years. all those batteries bouncing around in the electric carts cause trailer fires also

[tim worner]

used gas is the way to go

Have you considered a small UTV instead. If you don't golf it would probably handle the things that racers use them for better than a golf cart. There are some off brands that are pretty reasonable. In some states you can add some mirrors blinkers and a horn and be street legal.

Of course, it won't be as strong or as durable after the limiter and governor are defeated. ;-)
