What Are My Choices In Powered Golf Carts?

Author: Bill Urell

When choosing from a range of powered golf carts how do you know
if what you want is gas or electric powered? Or perhaps what you
really want in the powered golf carts you are looking at is one
that is run by solar power.

What are the strengths and weaknesses of these choices? Gas
fueled golf carts are run on gas just like the average car does.
They can be purchased to run on unleaded gas, which is what most
people use, or you can get ones that run on diesel. Diesel is
cheaper than gas. With these gas golf carts it is suggested you
always carry a can of gas with you just in case you run out
somewhere on the course. By doing this, no matter where you are
on the golf course you will always be able to get around. That
is one of the reasons that these gas powered golf carts are so
popular. As well, the newer four-cycle models do run cleaner and
quieter than the older two cycle models.

Electric powered golf carts do not have this advantage. When you
run out of power, that is it. You are stuck wherever you
stopped. There is no plug in the middle of the golf course to
recharge your cart. The advantage of these electric powered golf
carts is that they are environmentally friendlier since they do
not pollute at all. They also tend to run quieter than their gas
powered counterparts and are also cheaper to operate.

New models are being worked on with different fuels to make them
less expensive and cleaner to run. Many companies are
experimenting with hydrogen, solar and even hybrid gas/electric
powered golf carts.

Tests on golf carts that can run on solar power are still in
progress. They have a photovoltaic appliance built into the golf
cart roof and so the machine can recharge its batteries with
free, renewable, non-polluting power. These are finding good
results in their tests and so some of the golf courses are using
these solar golf carts. They are working so well that once
charged they could be used to complete an eighteen-hole course
four times before they require recharging.

Once you have decided what kind of golf carts you prefer and
what they should be powered by you will need to decide if you
want to buy a new or used one. The basic models range from four
thousand five hundred dollars and up depending on size and
power. Perhaps it is worth looking at a good used model instead.
These can be bought through the classified ads or from
dealerships just like the new models and will save you
substantial on the purchase price.
