I am the repairman at the local golf course. We have Club Car Carry-All gas cars and the Golfers use 48 volt Club Car Precedent series cars for playing. The gas models will be noiser, smellier and require much more attention than a good electric car that is cared for properly. An elderly person may have difficulty remembering to check the oil, get it changed and then it will have to be refueled by them or someone else. I owm 3 cars at home. A 1988 model 36 volt Yamaha resistor model,it is good but complicated and expensive to work on. If one wire would do the job, then they put 3 to be sure. A 1994 36 volt resistor model Club Car, good simple easy to repair car that is pretty straight forward to repair and about average on the price of parts. The rule of thumb on prices for golf car parts is that if you can afford the car, then they'll lay it to you for the parts. An example is the capacitor for a battery charger I bought last week to repair my 36 volt charger. From the golf car people it was $34.00 and from the electric motor repair and sales people it was $14.00. Same capacitor, just different uses it was sold for. The third car I have is a 1995 Ez-Go Tuff-1 utility vehicle, which is a strictly work class animal and I expect it to be noisy and cumbersome and not a quiet ride . The best for the money as some one earlier stated is the 3 wheel Ez-Go electric cars. They were built until thec mid 90's and the golf courses banned them because of a few people getting tanked up and other wise careless and rolled a few of them. They are somewhat reasonable in price, although all golf cars have escaslated in price becasuse of the demand for them other than golfing. The newer solid state 36 or the even newer 48 volt solid state cars are very reliable and some have a regenerative braking set up so than when you coast the motor acts as a generator to put small amounts of current back in the batteries. Rule of thumb is; the more lead in the batteries you have, the more power you have. Some 48 volt cars have 8 6 volt batteries and that is good. As always, the better you trat a battery, the better it treats you. Deep cycle golf car batteries do not reach full capacity until after 20-30 recharges and the batteries do not need to be discharged more than about 1/2 way. need to install a digital battery gauge so they can see when they need to recharge. Rule of thumb is if you use it more than 10 minutes, go ahead and charge it. There are also automatic battery watering devices availablle to keep tjhe batteries filled to correct level. Always add water to the batteries AFTER charging, not before.
Oh yeah, technically they are golf cars. A golf cart is the non powered thing the golfer puts his bag of clubs on and pulls it around by hand over the course and the self propelled vehicles they ride over the course in is really a golf car.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
