Why Buy a Gas Golf Cart
Golf carts tend to run on a handful of standard power sources. One of the most popular options is a gas golf cart. There are a lot of reasons to choose this more robust option, but you’ll need to consider what you want from your machine and whether or not a gas golf cart is the right choice for you. We’ve provided some key benefits below, but you can also stop by Richmond Equipment in Richmond, Texas, to ask our experienced staff for some of their advice as well.
Gas Powered Golf Carts
Gas powered golf carts are simple. They are basically like small little cars. They have an engine, it runs on gas. Gas powered golf carts typically only have around 10 horsepower, but their engines run and operate much like that of a car, so maintenance and care for gas powered golf carts would be like that of a car, only on a smaller, golf cart sized scale. Some of the pros of a gas powered golf cart include that they run longer on a single tank of gas than their electric battery powered counterparts do on a single charge. Gas powered carts also typically have a little more “oomf” to them and carry more horsepower. This comes in handy when you’re trying to climb those stubborn hills on the course. These carts are also noisier than their battery-powered counterparts. If you’re trying to live a more eco-friendly focused lifestyle, these golf carts do put emissions into the environment. Gas powered carts can also come with higher repair prices tags due to the nature of the repairs.
Higher Speeds
In terms of power, gas golf carts tend to be able to go faster than some of the other options out there, especially if we’re comparing them to their electric counterparts. While not everyone is interested in more power, you might be excited about a little more speed. Gas golf carts can go faster than other models, which can not only make traveling around a large property faster, but it can also be more entertaining! Who doesn’t like a little more breeze on their drive? This also translates to faster acceleration, and less fuel doesn’t impact performance. As long as there’s gas to run the engine, you’ll see maximum performance.
Easy to Fuel
It’s also significantly faster and easier to refuel a gas golf cart. It’s about as simple as filling up the tank on your car or your lawn mower, requiring only a few minutes of your time. This can be the better choice if you’re going to spend all day driving around and don’t want to wait hours for the golf cart to up and running again. Not to mention, gas is usually pretty easy to find and they tend to run longer on a tank of gas before needing a fill-up, so you can drive for hours and hours.
Customization
If you’re a hands-on kind of person, then you’ll probably prefer a gas golf cart. They’re easier to tweak and change to fit your personal performance preferences, or even if you’re looking for a slightly different style. It’s also a lot easier to turn a gas golf cart street legal, making it useful for getting around your neighborhood.
