A golf cart (also called a golf car) is a small motorized vehicle designed primarily to transport golfers and their equipment around a golf course with ease. However, its uses have expanded far beyond golfing due to its compact size, electric or gas-powered efficiency, and low-speed convenience.
Power Source:
Electric Golf Carts: Quiet, eco-friendly, and low-maintenance, powered by rechargeable batteries.
Gas-Powered Golf Carts: Use gasoline engines, offering longer range and faster refueling.
Speed & Capacity:
Typically travel 10–25 mph (15–40 km/h).
Seat 2–6 passengers, with storage for bags or cargo.
Common Uses:
Golf Courses: Transport players and clubs.
Residential Communities: Gated neighborhoods, retirement villages.
Commercial & Industrial: Resorts, airports, warehouses, event venues.
Personal & Recreational: Hunting, camping, short-distance travel.
Customization Options:
Enclosures, lift kits, LED lights, upgraded seats, and custom paint.
Street-legal variants (with lights, mirrors, and registration for road use).
Standard golf carts are for off-road/private property use (max ~15–20 mph).
LSVs are street-legal (max 25 mph) and meet safety standards (seat belts, lights, etc.).
