Not sure which cart is right for you? Keep reading and maybe this will help you make a decision.
First, you need to think what are you going to use the cart for. Is it actually to go around golf courses while you make some hole-in-one or are you planning to just go around your neighbourhood with your family? For example, in Florida people use it in gated communities where quiet is key, therefore, the electric cart would be a better choice. The ease of use of electric carts makes them perfect for all family members, from grandparents to teens . These are perfect for short distances and require less maintenance than the gas option.
Another argument in favor for electric carts is the price! Electric carts are usually cheaper than gas carts. However, you need to make sure to ALWAYS check the batteries and fill with distilled water if it is low. Also, you’ll probably need to keep a long outdoor gauge heavy duty extension cord with you at all times. If the batteries drain in the road you will have to look for electrical outlets nearby and it could take a few hours to charge again. Yes, batteries are expensive but depends on the use you give the cart.
Now, if your cart has trailer hitches and is intended to drive across country acres or rural marinas, then the best choice would be gas. Despite the fact of the odor, noise, and more maintenance, if you have to drive long distances and need more power, go for the gas option for sure!
Experts says that gas carts are faster than electric carts, so if speed is something you take into consideration, gas is better for you. However, remember that the more you speed the more gas you consumer, so the price of use will also go up!
In the end, both are great and require maintenance, it is just a matter of which use you will give to the cart and the type of maintenance you prefer. Do you ratter look after batteries and the charging station or do you prefer to just pour gas and check the oil?
