Electric Golf Carts For Sale

About Electric Golf Carts

While golf carts are synonymous with golf courses, they are also found on at airports, amusement parks, car dealerships, factories, retirement communities, zoos, and other locations. These vehicles generally seat between two and six passengers, though six-seaters often have to sacrifice rear storage space for the two additional seats. They may come with or without a canopy, and some models have cargo boxes with ample space for buckets of balls for the driving range, turf maintenance equipment, and more.

The legal maximum speed for a golf cart is 20 mph (32 km/h), but some street-legal models and low-speed vehicles (LSVs), are allowed to travel at speeds of up to 25 mph (40 km/h) on select roads. Street legal carts must have headlights, turn signals, mirrors, and other car-like features to travel on public roads. For those who live on or near golf courses and only want to take one vehicle, this style of cart fills the bill.

However, it’s important to know your state’s specific laws, limits, and regulations, because they vary from state to state. For example, golf carts can travel on roads with posted speed limits of up to 45 mph (72 km/h) in Texas, but Pennsylvania sets its limit at 25-mph roadways. Most other states land in the middle at 35 mph (56 km/h).

Electric vs. Gas Golf Carts

The golf cart market may also include push- and pull-type models and what are sometimes referred to “autonomous caddies,” but self-propelled models typically run on either all-electric power or gas. Golf courses typically opt for electric models because they can charge in between rounds and require less maintenance, but they’re also a fit for urban environments because they are relatively quiet and produce zero emissions.

Gas-powered golf carts often have larger, more powerful engines (although that isn’t always the case) and longer ranges, but with that comes higher noise levels and emissions. There are also gas- and diesel-powered models that are similar to utility vehicles, and some enthusiasts purchase conversion kits to add more power and speed to their existing golf carts so they drive them off-road.
