The Pros of Gas Golf Carts
These are designed to deliver optimum power and speed.
They are more durable, and they can carry heavier payloads.
These models are easy to customize with various add-on options available on the market.
The Cons of Gas Golf Carts
They add to your carbon footprint.
As they tend to disturb the tranquility of the fairways, they are restricted in many places.
These models also require more upkeep and regular servicing to keep going.
The Pros of Electric Golf Carts
They are quieter and are allowed on most golf courses.
They help reduce your carbon footprint as they don't generate harmful pollutants.
They are more affordable than gas golf carts and easier to maintain, too.
The Cons of Electric Golf Carts
You might require brushing up on your driving skills as these models are more challenging to maneuver.
They may take several hours to charge up, making it tougher to arrange short-notice plans.
If you misjudge the charging timing, you might run out of power on the fairway. This might necessitate pushing or towing the vehicle home.
We hope this guide helps you determine whether you'll want to go with a gas golf cart or an electric model. Visit Golf Cart Center of Rockledge to explore a few models in person. Our dealership is in Rockledge, FL, but we proudly serve those in Palm Shores as well.
