Bye, Bye Golf Carts... Hello, Luxury Electric Vehicles!
Yesterday's golf carts are thing of the past. These days, it's all about who has the coolest electric vehicle on the block!
Truthfully, I don't even think they're called golf carts anymore... but rather, golf cars!
Have you seen these yet?...
Jim says that a bunch of people at the drag races he goes to have cool & unusual electric cars like these. (Heck, people even ride Segways through the pits at the car races!) I first saw these electric vehicles for sale in front of a house here on Highway 96 in Franklin, TN.
They look like tons of fun to me!
Luxury Electric Vehicles
With our new house & property, we'll definitely need a way to get around our 5 acres and make the mile-long trek down to the mailbox each day.We initially had an ATV in mind, but these fun electric vehicles might fit the bill. I'm putting one of these on my Christmas list!
I'd actually prefer to have a Jeep Wrangler one, but the Hummer electric vehicle looks fun, too.
Plus, there are lots of ways that you can customize your electric vehicle, including adding a front electric winch (for $1,495), chrome wheels or low-profile tires ($1,400 and $1,800, respectively), or a Sony AM/FM CD player w/speakers ($650). There's even a mobile video system (...call for price)!
Bayou Buggies has information and pricing.
Custom Golf Cars
If you need an electric vehicle that has a little more ruggedness to it, then check out golfcars.com. You can build your own golf car from the bottom up -- exactly the way you want!
Sure, these golf cars can still look cool and be personalized in such a way that yours would be a true original... But it's their practical design and usefulness that takes priority over their looks.
These electric vehicles can be used for golf, driving around the neighborhood, yardwork, campgrounds, working on the farm, transportation around the lake house, driving to and from the mailbox -- whatever you need!
Do you need a cargo box? Dump box? Head lights? Tail lights? Brake lights? A horn? Turn signals? A lift kit for driving in rough terrain? Specialty tires and wheels? A specific color? Extra seats? Want something simple? Extravagant?... You choose!"
How Much Do These Bad Boys Cost?
In case you're wondering, custom golf cars range in price from $2,500 to $15,000 while the luxury electric vehicles can cost anywhere from $8,000 to $15,000. It all depends on the extent to which you add personalized features. The more custom the vehicle is, the higher the price.
Wow! Just saw my first jeep electric car as it purred through downtown Naples. It was so cute, so QUIET and perfect for beachside driving. This vehicle sparked my interest in how to acquire one...which led me to this article. Where can I purchase one and gather more information about this super cool ride?? I like this article but I am still left wondering where to get info about the jeep electric car or others like it. Can anyone help me? PLEASE contact me at nativeg8r@aol.com....THANK YOU!

Hello,
We are Tennessee's most knowledgable Electric Car and Vehicle dealer. Situated right here in Franklin, we carry a variety of lines that range from street legal Golf Cars, to other vehicles like the ZENN Car. We helped with Tennessee's new MSV (medium speed vehicle) law that allows some of our Electric Cars to now go up to 35 MPH on roads with 40 MPH speed limits posted.
Please feel free to visit our website which will launch within the next couple of weeks. In the meantime, you can go to our URL - www.verdegoh.com - for store hours, info, etc.
We hope to see you soon and help you on your way to cleaner, more cost-effective and more fun electric mobility.
Thanks,
Josh Womack

The ones I keep seeing on display are in front of a house on New Highway 96 (on the way to the Natchez Trace Parkway). It's something like 3806 New Highway 96... right across the street from the Natchez Trace Vet.
Hope that helps.
Do you know the address in Franklin TN? I would love to have one of these carts, Thanks, Jamie
We have a regular gas golf cart for riding out around the pond and though the trails in the woods. Those custimized ones look really cool. I read you blog everyday. Lots interesting stuff you write about. Thanks for the read. Have a great day!
