[dryhorn2]

Please someone school me on Golf Carts . the Wife and I are looking for one to take camping and ride the grandkids around.

Whats a good brand and powerful motor to pull 4 to 5 people around ?

I’ve used one a lot where I work. Most of the ones I’ve used are Club Car . I’ve tried the gas and electric with big tire and little. They all surprised me on how good they go but the lifted ones with aggressive tires seem to go the best.

Gas only, imo.

Take a serious look at Yamaha gas one. The golf course is behind my house and I have a couple of buddies with the Yamaha gas ones. The rear seats folds into a “truck bed” but can easily carry 4-5 when the seats are up. The ride great and have plenty of speed. Also big bonus is no wait time on batteries to charge.

Also little to no chance of a fire while charging!!

Club Car with a 16 HP SUBARU is what I have.

I have an electric golf cart that's been great and does everything I've wanted but I think I'm gonna sell it because I want a gas one but I will be using it for golf. Electric carts are nice but they are more maintenance than a gas one.

Electric is fine until there's a problem. I'll take a gas one all day long.

1 farm I hunt is electric only.
No wheelers, No side x sides

I have a club car. Will say go 48volt not 36.
Battery life varies depending on use. I get about 5 years to a bank of batteries. 6 batteries runs me about $1,000 every 5 years.
That and keeping water in them is all the maintenance I have done.

Yamaha gas powered cart is the only way to go, IMO. I have one as well as a couple of my golfing buddies and I wouldn't trade our Yamahas for a whole fleet of Club Car or EzGo gas carts. The Drive2 quiet tech EFI motor is unbelievably quiet for a gas engine.

I have both and just sold a nice gas Ezgo that was posted here for a while.
I still have an electric I use around the yard and a gas at the lake.
I also had a 48v club car converted to 4x4 and that thing was a TANK and wud go anywhere and out pull my polaris 500HO atv...
With lithium batteries, you can now have (1) 36v or 48v battery instead of (6 or 8) 6 volts which drops a lot of weight off!!
Ionic 48v battery is around $849 vs Trojan at $1,000-$1200.
I prefer electric around the house/yard for ease of use as far as creeping around with a sprayer etc etc.
Both my gas carts you have to choke them whether you just get on them or been running them for an hour and with todays fuel.......well you know that part!
Electric....turn key on and push the pedal!
