Drive it Home: What Makes Golf Carts Great Street Vehicles

Golf carts are an excellent way to enjoy a day out on the green with your buddies. They can save you miles of walking and cart your equipment around so you don’t have to. 

But, have you ever considered that a golf cart can offer all those conveniences off the golf course as well? If you haven’t thought about using a street-legal golf cart in your everyday life, here are a few reasons to start thinking about it now: 

Affordability

Golf carts are a very affordable vehicle. That's partially why they’ve become so popular in recent years. But did you know it’s the most affordable vehicle on the market?

The long-term costs of owning a golf cart are impressively low, and maintenance is so simple you can often perform it yourself. New parts are inexpensive, and golf carts need very little gas to travel longer distances. You can visit all your friends and still have enough fuel to stop for a few groceries before heading home! And, if you opt for an electric golf cart, they can reach full charge without spiking your energy bill.

Versatile

When they are off of the course, golf carts can usually be seen carrying folks across the grounds of your local country club or college campus. But more recently, they began appearing in neighborhoods and city streets. You can even see golf carts being used at campsites and as off-roading vehicles!

These little machines can travel just about anywhere with the right tire tread, a full tank, and a street-legal zone.

Carrying Capacity

Golf carts can have a lot of variation from model to model. However, the vehicle's impressive carrying capacity can be found within every iteration. 

Not only can these vehicles carry numerous passengers, but they’re often equipped with a ton of storage. This makes it easy to carry heavy equipment like golf equipment, but they can also carry groceries, picnic gear, party set-up, and anything else you need!

Golf carts are an excellent choice for anyone who lives in a close-knit community. If you would like to purchase your own golf cart, just make sure that your local area allows you to operate golf carts on the street. Once you know your golf cart is street-legal, the sky (or perhaps the highway) is the limit!
