Cons of Gas-Powered Golf Carts:

Little to no noise pollution – giving you more time and freedom to operate at any hour of the day

Golf Cart Accessories: Enhance Your Ride
Golf carts can be enhanced and personalized through a wide range of accessories available, such as custom seats, wheels, windshields, and canopies. These additions boost the comfort level during your ride on the course while granting the opportunity for courses to add their own unique flair. Wheels for golf cart types vary from steel to aluminum. Additionally, there are other optional components such as enclosures, seat covers that offer added padding if needed, and even rear seating options!
Other potential features include lift kits which allow increased ground clearance, this is a very common feature on the lifted 4 passenger Onward. There are also optional lights, mirrors, coolers, and more.
Safety Features: Ensuring a Secure and Enjoyable Ride
Club Car golf carts are designed with safety in mind. Drivers and passengers benefit from seat belts, headlights, side mirrors, and more!

Maintenance Tips: Maximizing the Life of Your Golf Cart
To maximize the lifespan of your golf cart, regular upkeep is crucial. Gas-powered models should be serviced yearly with oil changes and filter/belt replacements while electric carts require battery care. Be sure to keep an eye on any problems such as diminished power output, low water levels in batteries, or frayed wires. If you see any of these problems, address them immediately.
For golf cart owners running on electricity, proper maintenance can make all the difference: equalizing cells regularly, keeping terminals and cables clean; and fully recharging after use, this will ensure maximum performance from your vehicle.
Finally, an annual service for both gas and electric versions is highly recommended. This annual service can go a long way in maximizing the life of your golf carts. If you purchased or are purchasing your golf carts from an authorized dealer oftentimes they have service options for your golf carts.
Industry Applications: Golf Carts Beyond the Course
Beyond the course, golf carts are extremely versatile and can be used for a number of industries.
