The continuous evolution of the golf cart has moved up in the ladder with the birth of the remote control golf cart.
Previously you had to operate your electric golf cart the way you do a motorcycle.
Yes, it would carry all your golf stuff but you still had to point it in the right direction and steer it constantly.
Golf carts now come in all sorts of high tech models.
They are motorized and are now capable of remote control, just like your remote controlled toy cars of childhood.
It sounds very convenient as now you concentrate more on your sport than toting around heavy golf clubs half the time.
What should you look for when you go out to buy one? Let's look at some basic points and you will be well equipped to make a brand new purchase.
First is the type of construction.
It should be made of aluminium.
There are some out there made out of titanium, but are very expensive.
Aluminum or any other extremely light alloy makes for easy handling while lifting it to put in the trunk of your car.
It should be collapsible so that it may fit in your car rather than require a truck to haul it home.
It should be equipped with a self-levelling ability like a stabilizer.
This is necessary because the stability function was previously provided by your hand.
When travelling on its own, this is a vehicle with a very high centre of gravity which makes it prone to tipping over.
Carts with wide bases are good too but the base collapsible function should be in it too.
There should be robust motors with ample battery time and should have a quiet shake free start.
High centre of gravity moving stuff will tend to tip over the moment the electrics provide torque to the wheels.
There are models out there which are capable of all wheel drive.
This would solve this particular problem.
Always go for something which is intuitive and simple in the controls department.
No sophisticated space shuttle controls.
You would spend more time figuring it out than actually enjoying what you came for.
