Why no gearboxes?

eflyguy · 05-27-2009, 09:50 AM

Just wondering why there isn't a simple low/high gearbox available? Would be really handy for those extreme hills now and then..

I was just talking to a buddy about that, good question.

A double wound motor with a hi/low switch would do the same thing for a lot less money.

Because golfers don't need them.

surely gornoman you have never tried to drive out of a sand trap could have used it several times

I don't play golf, but I DO know that carts don't BELONG in sand traps, LOL!

never a good thing when you walk back to the proshop and ask them for another cart then go to the truck and get a chain. they kinda frown on those kinda things. but what do they think they give you something whith a motor you can take all the alcohol you can put on the cart with you and a bag full of stick to beat the hell outa stuff with golf is a very boring game unless yo spice it up

I don't golf (I think we have established that!) and I prefer my spice in my Bloody Mary.
