FWIW... I have an electric EZGO from Five Star.
This year I replaced the batteries myself after seven years if service.
They cost $1,000.
Another few years may have been in them but I foolishly let the water get below the plates and was concerned that a refill and charge might not work out and we had company coming.
I plan to check and replenish the water in the new ones twice a season.  |
The one in Tilton’s photo is what I’m looking for, with the the flip down back seat. I’d probably want beefier tires/ suspension. Our path is gravely and a bit steeper at the top. It’s packed well but tire slippage is a consideration. It’s not a switch back but on an angle across the property instead of straight up.
The reason I question gas v electric is only because, when I’ve played golf, gas ones have seemed more powerful. If electric can get up the hill easily, that would great.
I’ve passed a house on rt. 3 in Laconia with used carts out front for$5500-6000. Seemed high. Sounds like I’m tabling a ride to five star.
