Spring is no longer thought of as the only season for weddings. During the two-plus years of the Covid-19 pandemic, couples had to either scrap their wedding plans, delay the date, or get married after settling for a slimmed-down version of the celebration. To no surprise, there is now a huge demand from couples wanting to tie-the-knot… and many with a simpler wedding in mind. According to the Wedding Report, about 2.5 million couples are expected to get married in 2022. This is a 15% greater demand than before coronavirus. This means weddings will be taking place year-round somewhere, sometime, and every day of the week. Whether your Big Day is going to be more casual or not, now is a good time to assess the plan for Bride and Groom transportation. For those living in a...

Since the three-wheel golf cart was first spotted on California streets in the 1930s, people have discovered many uses for this less-expensive means of transportation that runs on battery power. Even though golfers with mobility issues were quick to praise the advantages of the electric golf cart, most ignored the potential benefits and chose to walk the course alongside their caddies. That was the tradition and golf has always been a very traditional sport. As the social aspect of the sport began to attract more people, most courses quickly recognized the distinct advantages the electric golf cart had in moving golfers from one stroke to the next. As baby boomers began to age, electric golf carts became even more popular. Without the burden of carrying their clubs, older golfers...

Summer has been hot. In fact, it's been much hotter than normal in many vehicle-parts of the country. When atmospheric high-pressure settles over an area for more than a couple of days, the upper level of air is forced toward the ground and traps the already hot air at the surface making it even hotter. When the sunny days of summer heat-up the sinking air, it is compressed and the sun’s rays greatly increase the ambient temperature. High pressure forms a heat dome that can linger for weeks leaving people to suffer with stagnant air that feels like they are living in an oven. Combined with high levels of humidity, hot air forms a heat bubble over a certain area with extremely dangerous weather conditions. This year the Dog Days of Summer are expected to bring brutally hot...

You may find yourself wondering, what is the history of golf carts? If you are fifty or older, you probably remember when golf carts were only seen on the golf course Although the first electric golf carts were garage-built in the 1930s, the idea really didn’t catch on for another twenty-five years. Early designs included three-wheel and four-wheel carts designed to haul two golfers in the front and a couple golf bags on the rear deck. These cumbersome vehicles were limited to using cart paths or grass-covered fairways. Now, electric carts are being used for a variety of transportation needs. If you drive through a resort area, campus environment, retirement community or town center, you will probably be sharing the road with a street legal golf cart. What was once your...

If you’ve been following our blogs over the years, you might remember “What the World Needs Now is a Better Battery” published in March of 2015. Seven years ago, we were already reporting on the benefits of street legal golf carts with fewer environmental emissions, less conventional traffic, and reduced noise for use in quieter neighborhoods. However, the power source depended on electricity that was still difficult to store and manage. Several co-op members of the Electric Power Research Institute were already testing plug-in hybrid electric vehicles that were using large lithium-ion batteries that could recharge overnight from a standard 110-volt outlet. But the question is, are lithium golf cart batteries worth it? Just weeks before the global lockdown...

Lifted golf carts for commercial use have never been as popular. The natural habitat for the traditional golf cart was smooth, grassy terrain with well-kept dirt or paved cart paths. While those carts were well designed for playing a round of golf, today’s lifted electric golf carts can be customized for improved use in residential communities, on farms, around town centers, up and down the beach, and about anywhere you need to go. If you are shopping for electric lifted golf carts to use as utility vehicles or people movers, Moto Electric Vehicles can custom build a eco-friendly vehicle, or give you a quote for fleet pricing. Moto EV has years of experience in designing lifted utility vehicles for moving people, delivering products, or making service calls. “No doubt...

Electric vehicles that were once limited to cart paths at golf courses are now being used as an economical mode of transportation in many environmentally conscious communities around the country. Affordable, Versatile, and Fun… “As a likely carry over from their use at resorts and amusement parks, street legal golf carts have taken to the open road,” says Brett Jackrel at Moto Electric Vehicles. “In golf course communities, town centers, schools, corporate campuses, and retirement areas, electric carts are more practical to drive on low-speed streets and private roadways.” In addition to being better for the environment, the benefits of golf carts also has additional appeal for daily commutes, such as: More Affordable – Even a fully-loaded...

“You likely remember when golf carts were actually for golfers,” says Brett Jackrel, Sales Manager of Moto Electric Vehicles. “Thankfully, I got started in the business when the conventional electric cart began to evolve into today’s more versatile low-speed vehicles for street and fun. Now, lifted golf carts are providing people with the unique advantage of having more ground clearance as well as bigger wheels and tires.”   Getting passed on the path? If other golf carts are passing you up on the path or the road, it might be a good time to consider a lift kit or maybe a brand new lifted street-legal electric golf cart. When the chassis is raised, it lifts the bodywork to increase your overall ground clearance. Moreover, lifting the weight boosts...

“What you have to do to legally operate a golf cart on the street will vary from one location to the next,” says Brett Jackrel, Sales Manager of Moto Electric Vehicles. “We discuss below how laws at different levels apply but contact us directly to learn more about regulations in your location.”   Federal, State, Municipal, and Community Laws Although golf carts were once limited to cart paths at the local course, “times they are a changing” and changing fast. During the latter part of the 20th century, both economic and environmental concerns began to challenge what private forms of transportation would look like in the future. Similar to how the horse and buggy was forced to share roadways with early two and four-wheel vehicles,...
