6 seater 25mph suggestions

[SB77]

Hi everyone. I have a 4 seater 2000 club car lynx cart I built up pretty good a few years ago. Wheels/Tires, rewired whole cart, new controller, new motor, redid seats, switched lights to LED, etc. It is a great cart and we love it.

Looking for a 6 seater now.

I think I have it narrowed down to 3 options.

1) buy another used cart and redo it. I don't mind doing this, it was fun building the other cart, but at the end I have more money in the cart than its worth, it took a long time, doesn't go quite 25 mph, the breaks are under powered, and has some squeaks that persist and drive me insane. I was thinking about just buying a new cart this time to avoid all this.

2) onward 6 seater. This is what I would do tomorrow if it went 25mph. But I would have to buy a controller and motor. So I am probably 20k+ on this option.

3) lots of smaller dealers around me (south FL) are selling the ICON carts. They do seem pretty nice, especially considering its 12k all in and is a new six seater that goes 25 mph + out of the box. I guess I am just a little skeptical for the 4 years down the road part wise, and its China. But from what I am reading they are using Toyota controllers and motors? I like Toyota.

Do you have any suggestions or other options I should consider?

Sounds more like a question for the electric cart section?

Have you considered stretching your current cart? I did mine and it wasn't too bad, and didn't take that long.
