I’ve got several buddies up at the lake with both types. I haven’t fixed any electrics other than measuring the batteries once. Just plug them in overnnight and your good.
I have fixed a couple gassers mostly water in the gas. A can of heat and a can of carb cleaner to help it pop off work wonders. I wouldn’t hesitate with either. One buddy with the electric cruizes (with drinks of course) around on and off road with 4 adults and he weigh in about 375! Never had a problem. I usually see them with 1 front wheel off the ground in a high speed corner!
All except 1 cart were all bought used. Heck there’s 1 painted like the Vikings that’s made out of 1/4″ steel diamond plate! Made by AMF and probably from the ’70’s still going strong.
You have to look but you can find them for less than $1500 for a pretty nice one.
Ferny.
