Looking to buy a campground golf cart is this a good deal?
I just purchased a campground and I’m looking to get a simple, reasonably priced, golf cart but I don’t have a clue as to what I should look for. From the limited research I have done, this seems like a good deal. Any thoughts on this listing, or thoughts on gas versus electric, make/models etc. would be greatly appreciated. My budget is around $4,500. submitted by /u/Efficient-Story4845 to r/golfcarts [link] [comments]

Help with Golf Cart Purchase for City Use
Recently purchased a new home in a neighborhood that has many patrons young and old, driving golf carts around. I know pretty much next to nothing about them other than the 2 or 3 times I play actual golf a year, though I just started reading this sub and doing some online research with the Google. A closer "dealership" that I'm looking at is here: https://www.sldgolfcarts.com/cars-for-sale . The lowest priced model is around 5k and the highest is around 12k. Other than aesthetics , gas or electric and bluetooth sound systems, I don't really see a whole lot of difference wrt to price. Hoping somebody who knows a thing or two about this thing can at least let me know what I should be looking for. Requirements for me: Street Legal, not a whole lot to fix (if anything), and ideally under 8k, though initially I thought I could find something for 5k. Again, no idea what I should be spending. I'll be using it to drive no more than 2 miles one way, 4 miles round trip per useage. lastly, I see some carts on Ebay with delivery for a bit cheaper. If anyone has went this route, I'd really like to hear about it. Thank you in advance! submitted by /u/msestes to r/golfcarts [link] [comments]

Have any larger cities successfully embraced golf carts as a major transportation option?
Electric golf carts seem like a pretty good bridge to creating more sustainable cities to me. They provide the convenience of a car with no emissions and it’s much harder to kill a pedestrian or cyclist with one. They’re also much more affordable to buy, insure, and operate. I think they could especially work well as a second car for many American families. Have any cities successfully promoted them at a large scale through incentives or otherwise? I’m mainly looking for examples of US cities, not just neighborhoods like the Villages. submitted by /u/RainedAllNight to r/urbanplanning [link] [comments]

Can electric golf cart batteries be used as a power source during a power outage?
I was just thinking, with all the winter storm warning for the south and high chances of power outages, that this huge battery might come in handy. Has anyone used it to power things besides plugging in a cell phone charger? I realize it isn’t a generator to power my house, but maybe it’s useful for other things like an electric heater? Just not sure how that could be done. submitted by /u/KIMJONGB00M to r/golfcarts [link] [comments]

An electric cart is one of the best golf purchases I've ever made.
It might even be the best purchase, but I cannot speak highly enough about the experience of using one. Walking in general is a better way to play golf vs riding in a cart but not having to push or carry through the round will not only will benefit your game but it's just so freaking cool to stroll down the fairways upright like a pro with his own caddie. You get the exercise from walking but you're less tired through the back 9 because you arent pushing or carrying a 40-50 weight throughout. As someone with a dodgy back this also helps me stay loose vs compounding pain with a high torque motion and then going and compressing on my spine sitting in a cart for however many minutes until the next shot. If you were on the fence about one of these things I highly encourage you to make the leap. It took less than 3 rounds using mine to realize I never want to play through a course another way. Curious to hear about others experiences using one as well... submitted by /u/IronicHipsterCake to r/golf [link] [comments]

Electric or gas golf cart?
Is there any reason that RV parks or whoever would not allow a gas golf cart? Thinking of getting one to bring along in my toy hauler. Main reason I'm thinking gas is because they are lighter. submitted by /u/Hoppie1064 to r/RVLiving [link] [comments]

Thoughts on a electric golf cart to use around your homestead? Would you do it again?
I was considering getting a golf cart to tool around my homestead and do projects. I have a part time small hobby homestead and don’t have enough need for a tractor, but things are kind of spread out. I’m mainly interested in it because it’s all electric, I’m trying to avoid gas because I don’t use them often enough and their carburetors would gum up and we are super small scale. Sometimes we are going to be away longer term so I can’t just let it idle for a while since I’m not there. So electric just makes sense for us at this time. Anyone use an all electric golf cart, would you do it again? Any advice? Did you get a cart that was modified, lifted or some other feature that made it more useful and hassle free? submitted by /u/ryan112ryan to r/homestead [link] [comments]

Unpopular Opinion: smaller alternative vehicles (ex golf carts) should be allowed in the parish limits and everyone knows it
I'm a filthy, unlawful, terrible person who has an insured electric golf cart that I drive and park on the streets. I go to the supermarket, out for dinner, my local coffee shop, the hardware store, down to the quarter, etc. It's a neighborhood vehicle that costs next to nothing for me to drive it. Electric fuel is cheap and I made it cheaper by putting a solar panel on the top. I think the last time I charged it on our electrical grid was for Easter weekend. I drive my car 2-3 a week. I drive my golf cart damn near every day. I would MUCH rather see other small electric vehicles in the city than the oversized, gas guzzling, overcompensating trucks and SUVs. They pollute the city, they take up way too much space, and if they hit someone or something they will seriously fuck up someone's day/life. Ever see those car/pickups crashed into the sides of people's houses on Claiborne? Ever wonder why our auto insurance is so expensive here? My golf cart has lights, seat belts, and insurance. It will max out at 26mph on a full charge and a flat out road. It's lifted to better handle the abysmal parish streets. It was cheap to buy (used on FB) and it's even cheaper to own. Repairs cost almost nothing and I do it all myself. There's a 12v outlet to run a tire inflator, or maybe a small electric cooler for cold waters on a hot day. There's a USB A and a USB C outlet. My friends in parade krewes ask me to drive it in parades to carry their throws, bags, and snacks. My neighbors who can't drive ask me to pick up things for them if they can't get to the store. The next time there's a hurricane, I don't have to worry about gas for my car, and can use it as extra power for phones or a fan. So many folks on this sub talk mad shit without asking for real world info or just talking with someone, and I'm convinced it's just the outspoken NIMBY contingent with enough sticks up their ass to start a butt fire. Reducing the amount of large vehicles that this city was never designed for is a GOOD thing, and there should be way more of them. The city can get more money from "permits" or "registration" and "inspection" or whatever BS bureaucratic fee they want to call it and I don't have to put extra money into a car that costs way more to maintain and fuel to only drive 1 mile to the store for dish soap and cat litter. More people parking more small vehicles downtown means more revenue from parking permits, meters, and paid lots. It means more revenue for business than were harder to access. The problem is not the golf carts, it's the Altimas with expired temp plates, no insurance, and no cares. So so so many places across the country are adapting to the changing world and including small neighborhood electric vehicles in their allowable vehicles because rational people understand the good changes they bring to communities. Poo-pooing smaller, cheaper, clean-energy transportation for more people is short-sighted. Change is good. Move forward. Bring on the downvotes. I am nourished by your discourse and will continue to life my best in the solar powered electric golf cart you wish you had. submitted by /u/omgsooze to r/NewOrleans [link] [comments]
