Love the lithium Drive2! No more watering batteries and it charges fast. Only wish the base storage was a little bigger, but that’s a small complaint for how well it drives.

Went with the QuieTech gas version and you honestly can barely hear it running. Ride is smooth even on rougher cart paths thanks to the suspension. Worth the extra cost over my old cart.

We got the Rally 2+2 so we could switch between hauling supplies and taking the grandkids around. Great versatility. Just wish the ride was a touch smoother on rough grass, but it handles our gravel driveway fine.

Use it around our campground for hauling firewood, tools, and trash cans. Bed is bigger than I expected and it tows our small utility trailer without straining. Best purchase we’ve made for the property.

Bought a 2025 Yamaha golf cart and had several upgrades added. Seat belts, stereo, rear facing seats and upgrade lighting. They installed everything at their shop . The seat belts were not for the Yamaha golf car and over priced. The speaker for the radio did not have a switch on the dash board installed as per the manual so the battery constantly dies. The up graded lights included turn signals that are not self canceling and don’t turn off when the key is in the off position. I have spoke with them several times and they say parts are on order its been over a year. If you are looking to buy a golf cart it maybe worth looking else where they don’t stand behind their work
