Off Course Golf Carts

A normal lead acid battery should last 5 or 6 years.  Unfortunately, golf carts are often left unprotected in the winter and/or not put on a trickle charger when not in use, so we see a lot of 2, 3 and 4 year old lead acid batteries that are nolonger any good.  A lithium-ion battery has a warranty of 5 to 8 years typically, and up to 3500 cycles, which means they could be charged every day for nearly 10 years and still provide good service.

All of our new Evolution and Dach carts are programmed to go up to 25 miles per hour.   They can also be set in low gear to go about 12 to 15 miles an hour for golf course or campground use.

That depends on your town or city.  Our carts are "street ready" , which means they all have safety equipment like seat belts, headlights, taillights, turn signals and back-up cameras to be considered street legal.  Each municipality has its own rules on what is street legal.

An LSV, or Low Speed Vehicle, in the golf cart world means your golf cart has a VIN number, a Manufacturers Certificate of Origin (MCO) and a certain set of safety features.  With those features, and if you buy your golf cart from a licensed automotive dealer, your golf cart can be considered an LSV, be titled and have a license plate like an automobile.  There are not many towns and cities in Iowa that make a clear distinction between a golf cart and an LSV so it's unclear if there is any value in having that distinction.  Being licensed and titled also brings with it a more expensive purchase price, annual license fees and higher insurance cost.

Lithium-ion batteries are lighter, last longer, require no maintenance, charge faster, and provide consistent power for smoother rides compared to lead-acid batteries.

You can typically drive 25 to 30 miles on a full charge depending on conditions, with some carts reaching up to 40 miles under ideal circumstances.

Lead-acid batteries usually last 5 to 6 years, while Lithium-Ion batteries come with warranties of 5 to 8 years and up to 3500 charge cycles, potentially lasting nearly 10 years.

The new Evolution and Dach carts can reach speeds up to 25 mph and can be set to lower speeds of 12 to 15 mph for courses or campgrounds.

The carts are equipped with safety features like seat belts and lights making them "street ready," but street legality depends on local municipality regulations.

LSV (Low Speed Vehicle) carts have a VIN and safety features allowing them to be licensed and titled like automobiles, though this varies by city and may have higher fees.
