Golf Carts
 

Gas or Electric?
Why?
Brand preference?

Gas, gas, and only gas. A set of batteries is $800-1000 dollars. Replacing one at a time is a big waste of time. And when it runs out of battery on the other side of the track it is not near as easy as getting a splash of gas trom somebody. I like Club Car because of the aluminum frame but as long as they are new enough to have the pressure oiling and oil filter they are pretty much the same. Electric is quieter and actually developes max power quicker.

X2 gas! Because it's a mini race engine, lol. I just rebuilt mine and it was quite interesting and not very complicated after I took it out a few times I found it easy and quick to work on can't say I could do much on an electric one. I do find the gas carts can be quicker and are much lighter than an electric unit. Club car or EZ-GO like he said, new enough to have the pressure oiling, I had an older Yamaha and now have the EZ-GO TXT, very happy with it, Just My .02

Gas! I looked around for used Columbia with alum frame. I ended up buying a brand new ezgo txt that had the options I would have had to buy anyway. 401cc four stroke Kawasaki. I figure it will last as long as I want it. There are less gassers out there used. I was looking at 4500-5000 for a used one. I bought new for 5800. It was a year end close out so it was reduced in price. It came with mags and bigger tires. A flip rear seat and lights roof and windshield. It is a 2014. I never thought it would cost me that much, but I don't regret the purchase at all.

Gas here. Used EZ-Go from a golf cart dealer a few years ago. It cost $1200 and had all maintenance performed. The only thing we have had to do is replace the battery outside of regular oil, filter, and spark plug changes.

We bought ours in February, the off season for golfing in our area. I believe it made a difference on getting a decent deal. I weighed our cart at a race and it was close to 900 lbs by itself. So one more thing to take into account for towing. I can only imagine how much an electric one with the amount of batteries weighs?
