According to new research, more than 60% of cars in the USA North America travel less than 15 miles per day and nearly half of drivers travel less than five miles away from home. With gas prices climbing higher every day and air being polluted with gas emissions, a golf car is the most environmentally friendly vehicle out there. With all the golf cart accessories available, golf carts may become the most stylish and eco-friendly vehicle on the pathway.
Golf carts are widely used in university campuses where they transport all the people, goods and equipment, and are even used in cases of medical emergencies. They are also used in quiet neighborhoods, at large sports events by the personnel, and of course, on golf courses by golfers. Many golf carts are purchased by disabled many people
who appreciate the higher speed and safety of golf carts compared to those of power wheelchairs.
Driving a golf cart is extremely economic. It costs around one cent per ten miles to operate an electric golf cart. Its also ten times cheaper to maintain and repair a golf cart than a car. However, not many automotive giants readily leap into the golf cart sell
, claiming that there is currently no demand for golf carts.
Still, more and more neighborhoods, especially in resort areas or those surrounded by golf courses, switch to golf carts to access malls, movie theaters, schools and restaurants without having to ride on the highway. In university campuses golf carts could be
used only on designated streets and paths. Golf carts, as neighborhood electric vehicles with a proper license can travel on roads with posted speed limit of 35 mph.
Golf carts were introduced in the 1950s and later became popular thanks to golf visionaries such as Billy Dolan. With golf carts, golf greatly evolved as a game. Smaller, more good and nicely planned
golf carts with cute stylish accessories such as custom wheels and seats, lift kits and even programmable speed controls, golf carts are becoming safer each year.
As a vehicle, golf carts may have three or four wheels. They could be
powered by electric or internal combustion motors. The most famous golf carts manufacturers include Cushman, Club Car, Daihatsu, and many more.
Among the most popular golf cart accessories today are lift kits that add clearance to the golf cart which help with accessing rocky places and bumpy roads. Many lift kits incorporate off-roadway
tires that could be
used on the golf cart generating it a rough little off-roadway
beast.
Another popular golf cart accessory that is in huge demand in colder seasons is a rain curtain. These curtains could be
snapped to the car frame to sit permanently on the car body, or they could be
clipped to the car with hooks and removed in warmer seasons.
Many golf cart accessories basically do nothing except add some flare. Racing-style aluminum pedal kits, graphic and even 3D camouflage, custom steering wheels will add a stylish touch to any golf cart.
Golf carts are slowly spreading beyond student campuses, golf resorts and retirement communities. Well-designed and safe golf carts can soon be as common on city streets as scooters and bikes.
