Through the years, the use of the golf cart has exceeded the boundaries of the typical golf course. These small versatile vehicles are now being used everywhere. From schools to airports, golf carts are being purchased as an efficient means to get around.

An average golf cart has the seating capability of two to four individuals. These average golf carts measure six feet tall, four feet wide, and eight feet long. Most golf carts weigh an average of nine hundred to a thousand pounds. If you are planning to get a golf cart, make sure you have enough space in your garage to store it.

Because of the application of modern technological advancements in fuel economy and environmental concerns, choosing between a gas-powered or electric-powered golf cart has now become a pointless contest: The electric-powered golf carts are the sure winner. There are even some places where the gasoline powered golf cart is being banned.

Another advantage of an electric golf cart is that it has an increased power and range compared to the gas powered golf carts that dominated the golf courses in the past Modern technological advancements such as regenerative breaking are applied on the modern electric golf cart. Regenerative braking is the term used when the carts batteries are recharged as the cart slows down.

Despite the technological advancements and advantages of electric golf carts, there is still a big demand for gasoline golf carts. There are new innovations, such as the release of the newer 4-cycle engines that run cleaner and a lot quieter than the older 2-cycle engines. The best advantage of a gasoline-powered golf cart is that you can always carry a spare can or two of gas. This provides you with a much longer range. Gasoline powered golf carts also have more power that can be used for towing or carrying heavy loads.
