Gas or Electric?
I'm sure this has been asked before. I'm looking to buy a cart with a back seat for joy riding in the neighborhood, going to the local ponds, maybe some yard work,etc. I have been looking at a gas ezgo 2 + 2. I'm thinking gas just because of the replacement cost of batteries. What do you think? Gas cart or electric? Thank you for any comments

Re: Gas or Electric?
gas you dont have to pay for batteries, dont have to wait to charge, gas has more power, gas can go faster without having to buy chips and other things. just my .o2 cents

Re: Gas or Electric?
Gas is always ready to go.....
Gas is noisy and smelly  Gas has a carbon footprint .... Electric has a carbon footprint  Get both  |

Re: Gas or Electric?
Thats exactly what i was thinking. Just like to hear it from someone else. Had a salesman try to steer me more towards electric but he did have more electric carts than gas. That could be the reason

Re: Gas or Electric?
I agree with scottyb, get both or more
They each have their purpose. As for more power out of a gas cart, I dunno about that one. I have seen some sparkys climb trees. Intentionally that is |

Re: Gas or Electric?
salesmen will do that because they will get you to come back in a few years for batteries

Re: Gas or Electric?
Go gas. You can always carry a gas can but it's hard to carry a spare battery charge.
