FAQs

What is the best rated golf cart? ›

Valor - Gas or Electric Golf Cart Options. The E-Z-GO Valor has replaced one of the most successful models of golf carts, the TXT.

In a realistic scenario, a golf cart can still be used for 10 years or more depending on how well it is maintained. Some top manufacturers claim that their golf carts will last 30 years if the engine is properly maintained, repaired, or even replaced.

What Is the Best Brand of Gas Golf Cart? The E-Z-GO RXV gas golf cart is considered one of the best brands for its exceptional performance and reliability.

Electric golf carts are much lower maintenance than gas carts.

New golf carts typically range between $7,000 to $9,000, depending on the brand and model. Electric golf carts are generally more expensive, with the average price ranging from $6,000 to $18,000. Electric golf carts have a higher cost because of the batteries.

It is not uncommon for a Club Car golf cart, when properly maintained, to last well over 20 years. E-Z-Go Golf Carts, while cheaper than Club Car golf carts, do not offer the same quality. The motors used in most E-Z-Go golf carts are not nearly as powerful as the motors used by Club Car.

A well-maintained electric cart can last up to 20 years with proper battery care.

Generally, a 48V golf cart can reach speeds of up to 20 mph on flat terrain. However, if the terrain is hilly or the battery is larger, the cart can reach speeds of up to 25 mph. Additionally, if the cart is equipped with a high-performance motor, it can reach speeds of up to 30 mph.

The Bottom Line

Retaining a persistent state of full charge is not adequate for your overall battery performance. Enabling the battery to lose its charge before plugging it up again boosts its operational stability, resulting in optimal functioning for much longer.

Do golf carts hold their value? ›

Resale Value of Golf Carts

Generally, golf carts hold their value fairly well, especially if they are well-maintained and in good condition. If you own a higher-end golf cart, it can maintain up to 70% of its value after five years, while lower-end models are more likely to see a retention of 40-50% of their value.

Ask the dealer how many hours or amp-hours are on the car you are purchasing. A gas vehicle with good maintenance will provide 1,000-2,500 hours of use before a major overhaul. An electric car will provide 40,000 to 50,000 amp-hours of use before a major overhaul.

Gas carts will typically get 120 miles per tank of gas. Electric carts will get up to 30 or even 40 miles per charge depending on the cart. While that may sound like a big difference, most people only ride between 5 and 10 miles a day, so for the majority of cart owners, electric carts have more than enough run time.

What Kind of Gas do Golf Carts Need? Golf carts typically require an unleaded gasoline. This fuel is the same type that is used in many cars and other small engines. It is important to avoid using leaded fuel, as golf carts often do not have the same emissions control systems found on standard vehicles.

E-Z-Go Golf Carts, while cheaper than Club Car golf carts, do not offer the same quality. The motors used in most E-Z-Go golf carts are not nearly as powerful as the motors used by Club Car. When going up hills or carrying a heavy load, the motors in an E-Z-Go golf cart tend to struggle.

4-Stroke engines win in efficiency. This is because of fuel being consumed once every 4 strokes. Four-stroke engines weigh upwards of 50% more than a comparable 2-stroke engine. 2-stroke engines wear out faster since they run at higher RPM's; a 4-stroke engine is generally more durable.

The bottom line, for most people, the ELECTRIC CART, is the most affordable, most reliable, and most convenient for most uses. But if you have a large property (100 acres) or are needing a "workhorse" of a cart or have no reliable source of power for charging, Gas may be your answer.
