In very good condition. 2022 Evolution Classic 4 pro. touch over 2000 miles on it. Trade in at a dealership in Florida. Went that route because there's no tax buying from there. And after going back and forth we shaved 800 off the price. The lithium battery still has 2 years on the warranty. This bad boy moves right along!
 
That looks fun! :emoji_sunglasses:
Fun to drive!

That sucker gotta HEMI?
Lol!

Is the lift kit under the tree?
Hmmmmmm

Sweet
Now the lift kit and over sized wheels/tires to complete the look
Priced them out. Might be on the horizon!

How's it do in the snow?
It didn't do bad on the snow covered road. Stopping was another matter!

Great buy! Looks like trouble is brewing...hope there are many beer holders.
It does have a built in cooler in the back!!

Snow chains! :emoji_blush:

Looks good!

Ryan
Lol! Thanks!

Nice score Steve . . .
Thanks!

I absolutely love my golf cart... It's way to much fun...

I went with a Jake's 6" double A arm lift kit... A few of my neighbors have one and we'll get together and go for an hours long ride... Cooler loaded ... Music playing...

Mine started out as a plain golf coarse cart... I built and painted it.. It's a gaser as I don't want to have to worry if I have enough battery to make it home when on long rides...

I like the look of the lift.. Kinda gives it the monster truck look... I think...

But any way you go... You'll enjoy it...
 
Big haul up from FL but sounds like it was worth the effort.
I was a bit worried about doing this. Hopefully I won't regret it!

Amazing job! I'm thinking about a lift kit in the future. The color won't get changed. Ann's only demand on getting a cart was the color. It is in great shape. But'll it get polished. Then ceramic coated. And some undermounted leds.

That's sweet, Steve.
A lot of people in my neighborhood use golf carts to run down around to the grocery store, parks, and community vegetable garden, and pool. If I still belonged to the community vegetable garden, and pool, I'd own one as well.
 
You might be aware of this:

Something about lithium batteries and cold temperatures. We have a Cushman Shuttle 2+2 72v with AC motor. Decided to upgrade to lithium. Did some research and purchased a kit. While reviewing the instructions on battery charging. A statement about charging the battery below 34*F was not a good thing was provided. Eastern NC has a mild winter but can dip into low temperatures for a spell. Low temperatures impact the chemistry of the battery and will decrease the life. Went back to several battery sites to see if we had missed this in the information provided, if it was on the site you had to dig for it. Also, the BMS can shut down the battery in low temperatures.
Most recommended keeping the cart in a warm location. Provider of the battery we purchased suggested removing it and keeping it in a warm location. A few recommended heated battery wraps.
We purchased two stick-on battery wraps from a supplier that services various industries as well as the RV industry.
So far it keeps the battery above 34*F. Have not a significant cold snap to test for a week or two.

Are you talking the actual "charging" of the battery out in below freezing temps ?
Reason questioning is that I know many people that use the Lithium batteries for they're ice fishing electronics, ( ice augers, ff sonar, etc ) and recharge out on the ice with generators as they swap out worn down batteries. I do use 2 lithiums for my ice auger but haven't had to charge out on the lake. Just wondering 🤔
