50-70 miles is the stated range, but that's on flat pavement with a full charge and not exactly pushing the pedal to the floor — if you're on a hilly course or carrying four people, you'll see closer to 45. We've had buyers load these up with gear for maintenance crews and the lithium pack handles the constant stop-and-go better than lead-acid for that kind of duty cycle.
Basically, you get a 5KW KDS AC motor and a 48V350A controller, which is a pretty standerd pairing for this class of cart — it'll do 25 mph top speed and climb a 25% grade without much strain. What we don't always mention is the DC converter (48V/12V-300W or 72V/12V-300W) which means you can wire up lights and a radio without pulling from the main battery — most people don't think about that until they're installing accessories.
4-wheel hydraulic disc brakes with an electronic parking brake — that's not common on carts at this price point, it's usually rear drums. The suspension is MacPherson independent up front and a solid axle with hydraulic shocks in the rear, so it rides more like a small utility vehicle than a golf cart. Ground clearance is 170mm, turning radius 3.2 meters — tight enough for a course but you'll still need to watch the trees on narrow paths.
You've got two battery choices: the 6x8V lead-acid setup (cheaper upfront, but heavier and you'll replace them every 2-3 years) or the 48V150A lithium (about twice the price, but half the weight and you'll get 5-7 years out of it). The intelligent charger is included — 48V/18A for lead-acid, 48V30A for lithium — and it'll top off in under 8 hours form 80% discharge. Most commercial operators we sell to go with the lithium, even at the higher cost, because they don't want to deal with watering batteries.
Frame is a high-strength metal trapezoidal design with electrophoresis coating and a high-gloss finish — it's better than reagent grade for corrosion resistance, but it's not marine-grade so don't park it on the beach every day. DOT-certified all-terrain tires on 12-inch aluminum wheels, 4-ply rated, so they'll handle grass and packed dirt but you wouldn't want to take them through mud. Seats 2+2, and the rear flip seat is useful for carrying a bag or a cooler (usually 2-4 weeks lead time on the lithium version, lead-acid we keep in stock).
25 mph doesn't sound fast, but in a parking lot or on a course it's plenty — anything faster and you'd want seat belts and a roll cage anyway. We ship these with CE and DOT paperwork, but you'll want to check your local road-use laws because some states don't register them as LSV. Anyway, the bulk discount kicks in at 10 units or so, and we'll send COA and test data with teh shipment.
Both battery options give you the same 50-70 mile range under normal road conditions. The main difference is that lithium weighs less and charges faster with the 48V30A charger, while the lead-acid is a more budget-friendly upfront choice.
Yes, the bulk discount applies to both lead-acid and lithium versions when you order 10 or more units. The $200 per unit is taken off the base price, so you'll see the savings regardless of the battery you pick.
With the 48V30A intelligent charger, a full charge on the lithium battery typically takes about 4 to 5 hours. The charger automatically stops when it's full, so you don't have to worry about overcharging.
Absolutely, we can provide both the CE certificate and a DOT compliance declaration with your order. Just let us know after you place it, and we'll send the documents along.
For 50 units, lead time is typically around 30 to 45 days from order confirmation. Yes, we can do custom colors and apply your logo on the body—just share your specific requirements, and we'll handle the rest.
