Golf Carts For Sale in Richmond, TX near Houston

Choosing a Golf Cart

Many people use golf carts for just that, carting around their golfing items. Some use golfs carts for utility purposes. There’s absolutely no right or wrong way to use a golf cart, but before you buy one there are definitely a few things you will want to consider before dropping the cash to do so. It doesn’t matter if the cart is new or used, you'll want to carefully consider these things regardless.

Electric Golf Carts

Electric golf carts are battery ran and operated, and do not require any fuel to operate. They do not have as much horsepower as a gas powered cart, but it varies depending on the make and model. Electric golf carts are much quieter than gas-powered ones. They are practically silent when running. Maintenance costs are at a minimum, and over time your wallet will thank you for not spending on fuel. A typical charge for an electric golf cart will allow riders to drive for about three full 18 holes rounds of golf, and they have zero emissions. If you take good care of your battery it can last for years, but if you do not care for the battery or keep them in conditions that easily deteriorate batteries they can lose their strength, and replacing a golf cart battery can cost a pretty penny. If you’re the type that likes to have several amenities on your cart to get the full experience out of it, use cautiously. Features like stereos, lights, fans, and heaters can have a negative impact on batteries and deplete their life.
 

Popular Uses For Golf Carts

Once you decide whether you want a gas powered golf cart or an electric golf cart, you might be wondering how you can maximize the use of your golf cart to get the most out of your money. Here are some suggestions from your proud golf cart dealer for alternative ways you can use your golf cart that doesn't involve the fairway. 

Transport For People With Limited Mobility

For anyone who has mobility issues due to advanced age, disability, chronic pain, recovery from surgery or an acute injury, walking is the enemy. Ease the burden of these conditions by offering comfortable and convenient transport in the form of a golf cart! Retirement communities can make ample use of a golf car as a way of taking residents between buildings or around the community.

Speed Up Transport On Big Campuses

Anyone who works on a massive college campus or business complex has probably broken a sweat trying to get between one class or meeting and another with their papers, briefcases, backpacks and purses in tow. No one wants to dash into a meeting five or ten minutes late and out of breath! Resolve these woes with a golf cart, which can expediently get students, teachers, employees and management between point A and point B without a drop of sweat being spilled.

Ferry Items Around

Golf cars are excellent cargo vehicles. Most models have some form of storage space at the rear of the vehicle, and this can easily be expanded upon with aftermarket add-ons. Transport all kinds of goods around a neighborhood, complex or campus without having to drive your car or walk everything over. Golf carts are much more fuel-efficient and convenient, and they fit better on smaller roads.

Go For a Pleasure Ride

You can also use a golf car as a means of leisurely cruising around! You don’t have to always drive it for a purpose. Golf carts are fun, fast, novel and, as noted above, fuel-efficient, so you don’t have to worry about your impact on the environment, especially if you have an electric model. Go out for a ride in the fresh air or get yourself easily to a neighbor’s house for a barbeque or party. You can even modify some golf cars for off-road riding if that’s more your speed.
