Golf Cart Buying Guide
While initially designed for use on the golf course, golf carts have also found popularity on college campuses, retirement homes, and so on because they offer a fast and convenient way to transport VIPs from place to place. If you’re interested in purchasing a golf cart of your own, you’ll need the right know-how in order to pinpoint the kind of model that’s just right for your needs. Luckily, the experts here at Maxey’s Motorsports have created this golf cart buying guide.
Features
You may be surprised by the number of different features available on golf carts. For example, some carts are designed specifically to be street-legal, meaning they have things like built-in turn signals and rearview mirrors. Other, more basic features like roofs and lights are also something to consider. Think about what you want to get out of the golf cart, and try to find a model that offers features supporting that purpose.
Engine Type
While the very first carts were battery-powered, gasoline-powered carts have long dominated the market due to their superior power-to-weight ratio. However, recent advances in electric vehicles and battery technology have made electric carts more viable. Gasoline-powered carts are generally more powerful, and often easier to maintain since more mechanics have experience working with them. On the other hand, electric golf carts are cleaner, quieter, and fairly affordable. We recommend thinking hard about which type of cart would best suit your needs before making your decision.
Size
Another thing to consider when shopping for golf carts is size. Bigger carts are more expensive, but they can also fit more people/cargo. Of course, if your group size is smaller, you can usually get away with buying a smaller, more affordable golf cart.
