I saw your other post and thought I would comment on the ride quality. I doubt any golf cart is going to ever ride as well as a SxS with independent suspension, but it's certainly possible to get one to ride decently. It doesn't sound like you are going to be using it for long drives, so I think it's very possible for you to get by with a cart.

I have a 2008 EZGO that rides very well. It's no problem to run 30 mph on dirt roads with it, and I am a guy with so much back trouble that I have a neurostimulator in me. This cart is lifted and has a heavy wooden bed on it, but the main reason it rides well is that it still has all the original springs on it.

I have another cart that rode decently until a rear spring broke. When I took it apart I found a front spring was also broken, so it got all new springs. That cart often hauls several people and maybe a deer or 2 in the back, so getting HD springs seemed smart, but it was a real bad idea. It rides so stiff now that I can seldom get over 10 mph. We don't drive it very far so I am just going to live with it, but the whole problem with the ride is in the HD springs. I suspect that the people complaining about the ride quality of a cart have been in those with HD springs, as that is a common upgrade on off-road carts. Don't do it is my advice; the OEM springs are strong enough and will have a much better ride.

If you are ever in Sylacauga, you are welcome to drive mine and test it.
