Electric Cars Are Already Here

August 8, 2008

What’s the big deal about electric cars, like the upcoming Chevrolet Volt? Golfers have been using them for years. You can get 20 miles in a golf cart on a ten hour charge.

Now, it seems that golf carts are becoming “street legal” vehicles in a number of towns. Currently, 26 states allow the use of golf cars on local streets.

  • Recently, our club enacted rules which allow for private carts.  I had not thought, since I am 5 miles from the course that it would be of benefit for me, but I may have to check into this.

    I have been wondering about trailering my bag and push cart behind my bike, probably on another trailer, but am also considering fashioning some sort of bag trailer which I could then just use on the course (on the path I suppose, as even in dry conditions, they probably don’t want a mountain bike on the course).
