If you are in the market for a new, custom or refurbished
golf cart, then you might be researching the different kinds that are
available. While electric golf carts are a popular choice, gas golf carts are
also quite popular. The type you end up buying will mostly depend on where you
want to use the cart, how often, how far you plan on driving and the type of
terrain you will be driving on. Here is a brief overview of gas
golf carts. Plymouth residents can come to our showroom to learn even more
about them and to browse through our selection.
The first thing you want to think about is how many people
you plan to be driving around on your golf cart and how often you will be using
it. Electric golf carts have to be regularly charged to run, so sometimes gas
golf carts are a better option if you know you will not have time to wait for
the cart to charge. If you are going to drive it quite frequently, then gas
golf carts might be your best bet.
Then you want to consider where you are driving the golf
cart. Is the terrain pretty hilly or rocky? Gas golf carts tend to handle
uneven terrain better than their electric counterparts. These make them an
excellent choice for those who have to access remote parts of their property or
a work site. And those who are familiar with how to fix a car might enjoy gas
golf carts more since they are already familiar with how a gas engine works.
And because gas golf carts do not use a battery, you do not
have to worry about how long the battery will hold a charge or how it will fare
if stored away and not used for a long time. This makes gas golf carts a good
choice if you only plan to use it a few times a year.
Finally, keep in mind that the costs associated with
operating gas golf carts are similar to the ones associated with electric. Gas
golf carts will have more frequent maintenance costs but they will usually not
be as pricey as a new battery would be for an electric golf cart.
