Electric Or Gas golf cart????

Post  69bluehotrod on February 22nd 2012, 2:27 pm

Looking into getting a golf cart for this season to tow the car to the lanes & back to the trailer & of course run around the pits, should i go electric or gas, was wondering if anyone had any advise.

my gas one pulls great. The electric ones run down pretty quick when pulling a load.

You must be burning that high dollar gas in your race car and have a methanol rated radiator Twisted Evil

alot of guys use electric with no worries, just need to make sure any used electric cart has good to excellent batteries in it...a good charger is also critical....electric cart has ore than enough power to pull a race car and crew

i prefer gas, just simply due to I dont simply want electric...I always have fuel, a tankful will last a real long time....also more than enough power to pull the race car. one thing a strongly recomend is a 4stroke cart over a 2 stroke.....nothing wrong with a 2, but there usually older, lack a bit on power, and smoke pretty good under a load....most not all...and this is even with a tight engine 4 stroke is quiet, odorless, and just plain nice to drive around....any brand will suit your needs....EZGO, Yammaha, Club Car are all great carts and parts and stuff to "trick out" are easiely obtained

I own a 04 Yammaha G22 4 stroke....replaced a nice 4wheeler (Can-Am) and Ill never look back....much more comfotable for family and crew
