Our golf cart sales include both new and used options from these leading manufacturers, giving you flexibility whether you’re looking for reliability, customization, or affordability.What are the differences with gas vs electric golf carts?
Gas golf carts are better suited for long distances, rugged terrain, and heavy-duty use thanks to their higher torque and longer range, but they're louder, require more maintenance, and produce emissions. Electric golf carts are quieter, cleaner, and cheaper to maintain, making them ideal for residential areas and golf courses, though they have a shorter range and require hours to recharge. Your choice depends on whether you need power and endurance (gas) or quiet, low-cost convenience (electric). At River City Golf Carts, we guide customers through our golf cart sales process by helping them choose between gas and electric models based on their driving needs, budget, and lifestyle.What kind of gas should I put in my golf cart?
Gas golf carts can run on regular unleaded gasoline, but to minimize buildup and extend the life of your engine, ethanol-free gasoline is recommended. When exploring golf cart sales, many buyers consider ongoing fuel requirements as part of the decision-making process. If you’re unsure about the best fuel for your cart, our experts at River City can help you choose the right option for long-term performance.How long should a golf cart last on a full charge?
For electric models, we have found that it generally takes 8–10 hours to fully charge a golf cart’s deep-cycle batteries, which is usually done overnight for use the following day. Battery performance and longevity are important considerations during golf cart sales, as they affect how far you can travel on a single charge. Regular maintenance and proper charging habits will also ensure your cart continues to run at peak performance.Should I purchase a gas or electric golf cart?
If you need a golf cart for long distances, rough terrain, or heavy-duty use, a gas model is typically the better choice thanks to its power and quick refueling. If you’ll be using your cart for shorter trips, neighborhood rides, or golf course use, an electric cart offers quiet operation, low maintenance costs, and eco-friendly benefits. Our golf cart sales team helps customers evaluate their unique needs, so they can select the best type of cart for their lifestyle.How do I maintain my golf cart?
Yearly golf cart maintenance is recommended to keep your vehicle performing at its best. Proper upkeep also protects the value of your cart, which is an important factor when buying through golf cart sales or considering a future resale. River City Golf Carts offers maintenance services to keep your cart in top condition year-round.How much will a golf cart cost?
The cost of a golf cart depends on whether you’re buying new or used. We have found that new carts typically range from $6,000 to $15,000, while used carts may cost between $2,000 and $8,000. At River City Golf Carts, we make golf cart sales flexible with options to fit different budgets and preferences, ensuring you get a reliable vehicle without overspending. Factors like brand, features, and customization can also impact the final price.
