Default New cart ideas?

Since the old cart went up in flames, its time to figure out what's next. I am on the fence of build vs buy. Thinking I should restore an EZGO PDS again.....or maybe just buy an RXV. I kind of like the way the Yamahas look, but don't know anything about them. There is a cool looking Tomberlin for sale near me.....I understand parts are an issue.

The best advice I can give is old advice.
Stick with one of the 3 major makers.
Build up a stock cart if you enjoy tinkering.
Or buy something new if you prefer to spend your time and $ driving around
There are a lot of possibilities

I'm pretty intrigued by the RXV because of the AC electrical system but I'm not sure if their are as many aftermarket options to improve performance as their are DC carts.

Go big and fast whatever you do!

I have a 2013 rvx and it's been great so far. Very fast and comfortable. It has new batteries but even with us riding they have barely drained. Don't regret the purchase at all.

Did the insurance company total the old cart and take possession of it, or pay the claim and stick you with disposing of the carcass?

If you still have access to the old one, it looks like there might be some salvageable parts, so I'd go with another PDS.

Actually, I'd go with another PDS anyway.

Atta boy JohnnieB You tell em which cart is the best
I suggested rebuilding the cart originally - Doesn't look that bad to me.
Make better/badder

They totaled it and are going to hall it away.

It's going to auction. Only part I am unhappy about is I have to also give them my brand new DPI 48 volt charger.
