With a fully-enclosed, G-Wagen-inspired body and an 80 mile electric range, the Bodo G-Wagon golfcart is the NEV you need when you decide its time to get serous one-upping the rest of the Palm Beach country clubbers.
LSVs are more than a golfcart—they are street legal on most roads posted 35 mph or less. With GEM Go, users drop a pin or enter an address, and the map will populate with a radius of all roadways 35 mph or less. Yet knowing where those roads are and where a GEM can take you can be a challenge.
Who needs a golfcart when you’ve got a… golf bike? That’s the thought behind Fairway Bikes’ new three-wheeled electric bike designed for golfers, helping kick the lazy golfcart for a more interactive alternative. After retiring, Jim was playing more golf but found it challenging to walk the course.
Instead, you can get by with a low-speed vehicle like a golfcart or bicycle. While they look like golfcarts, GEM’s electric cars stand out among small vehicles. The batteries mean they have zero emissions and are better for the environment than gas-powered cars or golfcarts.
Golfcarts are no longer just for cruising the country club. Thanks to US golfcart maker E-Z-GO , which partnered with National Calendar Day to help establish National GolfCart Day in celebration of the brand’s 70th anniversary, we can now all celebrate these pint-sized car replacements with their own holiday.
Golfcarts aren’t just for golfers anymore. In fact, they’re getting much more use away from the golfing green as an alternative to cars in neighborhoods all over the US. Now Kandi America’s new collapsible mini golfcart is trying to reframe the concept of low-impact urban transportation.
While people can purchase neighborhood electric vehicles today for about $10K, they only have a top speed of 35 miles an hour or so, essentially glorified golf-carts. All the commercially available freeway-capable (70 mph) EVs are priced way out of reach for the average consumer.
I think youd wind up with something like the wacky-looking electric cart that has earned the dubious honor of being named this weeks Awesomely Weird Alibaba Electric Vehicle of the Week ! Its definitely not a real car, as evidenced by its US $6,999 price tag and the 30 km/h (18 mph) top speed. appeared first on Bauaelectric EV News.
It has a top speed of 35 mph (56 kph). The c-Zone is based on a golfcart chassis and uses a 48V, 3.5 The e-Zone uses a 72V, 5.0 kW motor and offers either a 72V, 165Ah lead-acid battery (base option) or a 72V, 140Ah Li-polymer battery. A direct-drive wheel motor is optional. kW motor and six 8V, 240Ah batteries.
It took me 30 seconds to get up to 60 mph. I'm not sure how much current these golfcart batteries are designed for. The RPM stays constant when I "coast" unlike a gasoline engine which tends to slowly drift back to "idle." This makes synchronization of the gears rather difficult.
Capable of a 62 MPH top speed and only around 75 and 110 miles of range per charge, the vehicle’s base model is available for a respectable $4,200. It won’t go over 62 MPH, but it’s another gas car off the road, something that is always a positive. kWh battery and the other a 13.8 kWh battery.
But either way, that single or double motor is apparently enough to send this suitcase careening around an airport terminal at a wholly irresponsible 30 km/h (18 mph). The last thing I want when Im rushing to catch a flight is to be taken out at the knees by someone riding an 18 mph suitcase. Yeah, thats what I thought.
Kandi America , best known for its range of electric golfcarts and eUTVs, has just unveiled three new electric go-karts designed for off-roading fun. The top speed is listed at 15 mph (25 km/h) and the max range is 25 miles (40 km) thanks to the 48V 30Ah (1.4 Those old things have been around for years. kWh) battery.
So if you are lucky enough to live in an area that has friendlier golfcart and NEV laws, or simply play your cards right on a busy day at the DMV, you might just be able to slip one of these out onto the streets. Of course, don’t expect that advertised $2,600 price to hold up for very long.
That permits owners to operate it like a traditional vehicle, but only on roads posted up to 35 mph (56 km/h). The top speed is limited to 25 mph (40 km/h) to comply with federal regulations for the vehicle class. That means that it feels and drives more like a traditional car, at least until you hit the 25 mph speed limiter.
A small, neighborhood-legal EV that its makers says combines the practicality of a pickup truck and the efficiency of a golfcart to shuttle workers and supplies around the job site. In XR trim, the Club Car can hit speeds up to 19 mph (30 km/h), while the LSV tops out at 25 mph (40 km/h). Meet the Club Car UTV.
Transporting the new Evy is similarly easy, thanks to a compact design that’s compatible with existing trailers and that , when folded, can be hauled on its own at 15 mph, or as a semi-trailer at speeds up to 50 mph. Potain Connect telematics Potain Evy 30 24 4t crane; via Equipment Journal.
The vehicle stayed within the maximum speed limit in the area of 40 kph (25 mph), its destination set with a smartphone app. So far, Japan has approved the use of so-called Level Four autonomous vehicles in a rural area in Fukui Prefecture, but those look more like golfcarts. But its maximum speed is 12 kmph (7.5
Last week Tesla revealed that its new Model S Plaid EV could reach a speed of near 200 MPH and reach 0 to 60 MPH in 1.99 The fast acceleration capability of electric vehicles was a key component to reducing the “golfcart” image of EVs that existed before the Tesla Model S emerged in 2012.
They’re also not nearly as powerful, since they are federally limited to just 25 mph (40 km/h) top speeds. As long as they meet the regulations and can be certified as street legal, they’re allowed on nearly any road in the country that has a posted speed limit of 35 mph (56 km/h) or less.
Last fall, Japan suspended its test of driverless golfcarts that travel 7 mph after one of them hit the pedal of a parked bicycle. Ford and Volkswagen shut down their robot taxi joint venture, Argo AI, two years ago, but both companies are still developing advanced assisted driving systems. No one was injured.
VMAX VX5 and its upgraded VX5 Pro electric scooter are surprisingly peppy for a so-called “entry-level scooter”, and I could easily hit the 18 mph (30 km/h) top speed. Both bikes are capable of highway speeds into the 70’s of MPH, and can achieve city ranges of up to 70 miles, though highway commuting will quickly drop that range.
Before Tesla, they were seen as nerdy golfcarts, far from usable as “real cars.” the Hummer’s claimed 0-to-60-mph acceleration time of about 3 seconds is nothing less than eye-opening for a vehicle likely weighing up to 3 tons. It’s a major reboot of a controversial name that retains a following 10 years after its demise.
The 50 mph (80 km/h) off-road electric bikes were uniquely suited to carrying heavy gear in rough terrain while remaining undetected due to low a noise/heat signature. We first learned of Ukrainian electric bicycle manufacturer Delfasts electric bikes being used as a mobile platform for carrying NLAW rockets used to destroy Russian tanks.
They are either glorified golfcart city cars like this one or they are only for the very wealthy like the Tesla. With a top speed of only 65 MPH and a 100 mile range, the Think Global will remain a niche City Car for conspicuous green consumers who aren’t concerned about safety. Electric cars a still a joke.
