had both...electric by far is the best for me....spend the money get a real off road electric and never look back . my electric cart is 12 years old and I run the crap out of it, changed batteries 4 times in 12 years....only other problem was two batteries went bad and caused a low voltage issue with the motor.....pulled it and dropped it off at an electric motor rebuild shop...150 bucks later new motor and up and running again....
