Buying A Golf Cart

Golf carts aren’t just for making your day on the green easier, anymore. From offroading to getting around worksites and campuses more easily, golf carts can be used for many recreational or professional purposes. But with those possibilities come many more options for makes and models of golf cart, so we here at Revel 42 Golf Carts & Powersports have put together a brief guide to buying the perfect golf cart for you.

Gas Or Electric?

Your first step is deciding whether you want a golf cart that’s electric or gas-powered. Both styles of locomotion have their own pros and cons, so you’ll want to think ahead about what you want from your vehicle. Gas models tend to be more powerful, capable of higher speeds and heavier loads, and they’re faster to refuel. But electric models are quieter, better for the environment, and are easier to maintain. Recharging an electric model can also be cheaper than refueling a gas one.

Physical Features

Next, you should think about the various features you’ll want on your golf cart. For starters, you should decide on the passenger capacity you want and need. Many golf carts can only carry two people safely, while others are designed to allow the entire family to come along on your ride. Think about the maximum capacity you’ll want to have and how many seats you need for that.

Storage space is also a major factor in the buying process. First, are you just transporting a golf bag or two, or will you be carrying tools and supplies around a worksite? Will you be picking up groceries from a store on the campus your golf cart helps you navigate, or will you just be driving around? Consider what you’ll want your cart to carry and what kind of storage you’ll need for that.

Budgeting

Finally, you should build your budget. A golf cart won’t cost as much as a real car, of course, but it’s still a big investment. Think about how long you want the model to last, since high quality models can last for many years but may cost more up front for a higher-end option. If you’re on a tight budget, consider buying a used model or financing.
