Selecting The Very Best New Golf Buggy Motor
Golf cart motors are at the heart of any golf cart and, since they often vary a great deal, many golfers are interested in getting the best and safest golf cart option they can. The motors vary in their power source, their speed, their longevity and their reliability, so it is important to choose the right one.
Traditionally, many golf cart engines were gas-powered. In more recent times, electric power has largely replaced the older gas engines and you might wonder whether there is any advantage to gas given the popularity of the electric models. Electric motors certainly have many advantages, not least in terms of such things as being clean, quiet and simple to operate. However, there are some areas where gas power units still hold the high ground.
Concerns for the environment are largely responsible for the growth in popularity of electrically powered golf carts. However, choosing an electric motor means accepting a less powerful engine which may mean that your cart cannot cope with driving up steep hills or over particularly uneven, or otherwise difficult, terrain. If you are going to need to use your cart on anything other than a fairly flat and well tended golf course, then you may need to swap put your environmentally friendly choice for a gas powered unit.
Assuming that electric golf cart motors are acceptable in general then the question becomes precisely which motor is the best option for you personally. One of the main considerations is the trade-off between speed and range. Batteries obviously have a limited capacity, and you may need to ask yourself whether you can afford to use a more powerful motor if you routinely play on large courses that require long driving distances. The last thing you want is for your golf cart to run out of juice just before the end.
The most important question for you to answer is whether you should buy a gas powered or an electrically driven golf cart. Most golfers today will appreciate the quiet, clean, reliable and eco-friendly electric option but others will need the greater power of the gas motor. The secret is to be realistic about what you need and then do your research to make sure that you buy the best motor which you can afford.
