For those people interested in getting a new golf cart it is important to note that the electric cart has been deemed one of the most economical golf carts on the market today. These carts have been found to be non-polluting and very quiet. These carts can be used both on and off the golf course. They have been recommended for use in senior citizen or retirement homes as a mode of transportation for people who have trouble getting around on their own. Medical professionals have stated that these carts allow people to get out of the home and get out into the sun. They can travel around easily and comfortably.

However, there are some cities in the United States and Canada that have outlawed the use of these carts by people over the age of 60. These cities have said that people over the age of 60 are more likely to get in or cause accidents while driving these carts. There are some seniors that have begun to fight back however. It has been recorded that there are five and half million drivers in the United States that are over the age of fifty-five and sixty. These people find it strange that they are permitted to get a license to drive a car on the open highway but they are not permitted to drive a much smaller golfing cart around their retirement communities. They feel that these laws do not make sense.

If you are interested in buying this type of cart as a mode of transportation and you not sure if you are legally allowed to operate the machine in your area, you can contact the housing office in your retirement community. You may also contact your local DMV to find out the rules and regulations regarding the use of these carts off the golf course.
