Thats really cool. Have you ever use 100E GOLF CART by Vantage Tag? It's a great golf cart I have ever seen.100e Golf Cart
A hi-tech premium ride built for both serious and casual golfers
The 100e combines real world range, performance, and safety into a premium Low Speed Vehicle that only Vantage Tag can offer. Our first LSV, the 100e achieves 90 miles of range per charge, is street legal (DOT certified), comes equipped with a whole package of premium options and starts at under $9,998 before discounts and incentives. Above all, the 100e is designed to be fun. https://vantage-tag.com/products/#cart

I think the golf carts are too over priced. The materials, utilized are not expensive at all. There is nothing there but the batteries. The design and concept do not achieve golfers' needs.
I have a 2003 club car - I would love to upgrade to a newer version but the quality of the parts and design keep me on my old cart.

Yamaha carts have rack and pinion steering along with rain gutters down the back sides of the cart. Additionally, Yamaha carts have a shock and coil undercarriage as opposed to the leaf spring on other carts, something that auto manufacturers abandoned years ago. Having driven all the carts, I prefer the Yamaha's design and innovations.

I was searching the web trying to find an article that would address my perceived problems with golf carts when I came across this article. It addressed the dash layouts but didn't address the 2 things I think are problematic. The first one is the handrail that is on the side of the seat. I believe that Yamaha has the highest one. You have to scoot up to the front of the seat so your leg can swing out past this useless handrail. These things are never cleaned so they always leave black marks on all of my light colored pants and shorts. I hate them.
But my biggest problem is with the club storage area in the rear of the golf cart. Do the engineers that design these areas actually play golf? I don't want to say which cart is the worst but all three of the Big Three seem to have this save problem. The modern golf bags, ie. cart bags just don't fit like they should. These areas are too small and/or the fender too high which makes it difficult to get into the side pockets. And the bar that has the lever latch where the strap attaches doesn't even come close to cradling a golf bag. Most if not all bags now have a slot to slide the retainer strap through so the non cradling nature of the retainer system just allows everything to twist and slide around. If it's just one bag the bottom bounces around until the bag is laying sideways back there. I use a C-clamp on the strap to hold my bag in place. It doubles as a towel holder.

Great article! Thanks for the detailed comparisons on the Big 3. Any opinion or insight you can offer on the ICON brand?

Been in golf business for nearly 10 years. Club Car has gone downhill rapidly. Terrible company. EZGO and Yamaha clearly the better options. This explains the shifts in market share. The Club Car product is just awful. Dealing with the company to get things resolved is even worse.

Well written and informative article, but I have a different question about golf carts. I’m not a golfer, but a camper at an RV campground and most people here have one. We’re overlooking the Ohio River with paths to ride on , wondering your thought about which one has the best suspension for riding along on pavement and sandy soil? Anyone else have an opinion on carts for this purpose?

The new 2020 Yamaha Drive 2 has independent rear suspension, which is a first as far as I know.
