Read More (About Electric Golf Carts)While golf carts or golf buggies are most plentiful on golf courses, they are also found 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 additional seats. They may come with or without a canopy, and some models have cargo boxes with ample space for buckets of golf balls for the driving range, turf maintenance equipment, and more.
Many self-propelled golf buggies are powered by electric batteries. Golf courses typically opt for electric models because they can be recharged in between rounds and require less maintenance than petrol-powered buggies.
People at golf courses and in urban environments and communities often favor electric golf carts because they are quiet, zero-emission vehicles. Street-legal carts must have headlights, turn signals, mirrors, and other car-like features in order 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.
