Electric Or Gas golf cart????

Looking into getting a golf cart for this season to tow the car to the lanes & back to the trailer & of course run around the pits, should i go electric or gas, was wondering if anyone had any advise.

If your towing ,you'd better go gas

always thought the electric ones would have more torque for pulling

my gas one pulls great. The electric ones run down pretty quick when pulling a load.

You must be burning that high dollar gas in your race car and have a methanol rated radiator

I've got a very nice Radiator thank you very much....If I can find it??

alot of guys use electric with no worries, just need to make sure any used electric cart has good to excellent batteries in it...a good charger is also critical....electric cart has ore than enough power to pull a race car and crew

i prefer gas, just simply due to I dont simply want electric...I always have fuel, a tankful will last a real long time....also more than enough power to pull the race car. one thing a strongly recomend is a 4stroke cart over a 2 stroke.....nothing wrong with a 2, but there usually older, lack a bit on power, and smoke pretty good under a load....most not all...and this is even with a tight engine 4 stroke is quiet, odorless, and just plain nice to drive around....any brand will suit your needs....EZGO, Yammaha, Club Car are all great carts and parts and stuff to "trick out" are easiely obtained

I own a 04 Yammaha G22 4 stroke....replaced a nice 4wheeler (Can-Am) and Ill never look back....much more comfotable for family and crew

going to look at a yamaha tomorrow at a local dealer said it was traded in and has a 4 stroke gas motor "94 modle, with 37 hrs on it... said he would take $1485.00, we'll see what she looks like in the morning...lol

friend had a 92 and it was a 2 stroke....I dont know what year the 4 came out.....nothing a little google reseach wont do lol

and if it is a 4 stroke and in good condtion, thats a decent price, around here add 4-500.00 to that figure

my radiator is in the attic, I may use it on this E85 547 build I'm doin for the wife's truck............

go electric if you care about the polar bears and global warming....that would make al gore so happy...

Battery kart are nice super quite the will out pull gas if they have good batteries and right controler in them but about every 2 to 3 years you will be spending around $600 on batteries.With gas you don't have to worry about going out charging the batteries before you leave and head to the track and as has been said 4 stroke pulls better and will last longer than the 2 strike will.

For general pit use, it is hard to beat a gas cart.
I have pals with electric carts, and they are usually hitching a ride when their batteries go dead.
I vote for gas.

X2!

I picked up an old EZGO 2 stroke before winter for 500 bucks because the forward reverse switch was supposed to be bad( it wouldn't run forward), but when I went to load it the thing fired right up, lucky I guess.

Gas it is!!! picked this one up for 1485.00 + a new set of "PIMP MY RIDE" wheels & tires

'96 Yamaha





they are even gonna deliver it to the house....

Ilikee the electric cart I have, my batteries were in the cart for six years, they died on me when I was at the hot rod reunion with Dan, bought six new ones and it runs like a scalded dog, and it will pull a car as good as a electric one.

I've been researching golf carts for a while and If/When I get one, it will be gas powered.
