There are many reasons to purchase a golf cart beyond a love of the game. Golf carts can be an excellent way for homeowners to stay mobile, including getting around your property or even the neighborhood.  Business owners also use these versatile carts to transport customers and employees on large properties. Whatever the reason for your interest in buying a new golf cart, there are a few choices you will need to make before settling on a final purchasing decision. 

Gas, Diesel Or Electric?

Many models of golf carts come in both gas or electric powered options, while some of the larger vehicles use diesel. Determining what type of cart to choose will depend upon how you intend to use your cart, the average duration of expected use and your refueling or charging options. A typical electric golf cart can go an average of 30 miles on a full charge, making it perfect for shuttling people around a property that’s only a few acres in size.  However, for those looking for a cart which will be used for longer trips, or in areas where recharging is not feasible, gas or diesel may be a better option. 

Size Will Matter

Golf carts come in a wide variety of sizes, from small one-seat carts to larger utility carts capable of hauling several people at one time. Your smaller carts will have weight maximums of around 800 pounds, where larger carts may boast a load capacity of more than 1,600 pounds. 

New Or Used?

Just like any vehicle, you have the choice of buying new or saving some money by purchasing a used cart. Many used carts are still in excellent condition, but buying new does provide you with the protection of a warranty and the peace of mind which comes from knowing you are not buying a cart that has been used roughly or was poorly maintained. 

Quality golf cart retailers offer a wide variety of golf carts to suit any specifications, and can help you determine the best model to meet your needs.
