 What is the life expectancy of the vehicle?

All vehicles are constructed using aluminum fabrication and chassis that will not rust, thus a vehicle should last at least 10 years when properly maintained. The solar panel option on vehicles will last over twenty years! Some parts, such as batteries will need replacing after few years but these are typical wear type items. 

 How much noise do the cars produce? Is possible to provide a noiseless model?

Resorts such as the Ritz Carlton in the Caribbean have replaced all their gas carts with Cruise Cars as they are silent and guests stopped complaining about the smell and noise!  These large facilities operate silent security vehicles, executive runabouts,  guest transports,  bellhops,  room service carts and their grounds team continue to order vehicles as they like to begin working before the sun gets hot and they too do not want to disturb guests.  This consideration of guest helps resorts achieve 5 Star ratings.

 What is the life of the warranty that is included with new cars?

Cruise Cars come with a one year Limited Warranty. Vehicles arrive with all components guaranteed to properly work and replacement parts are readily available should they be required.  Vehicles all share many key components with other major US brand golf carts (unique to Cruise Car) and a global network of trained technicians are utilized for long term vehicle care. Cruise Car stocks over $800,000.00 in parts with a 24 hour shipping policy.

 Be specific about the required maintenance.  What tasks must be performed and how often?

Check the water level in the batteries every 2 weeks. If you have solar, wash the solar roof as needed and hosing the car underbody with fresh water is recommended. If you buy a larger tram (14 passenger), the front end needs greasing every 2 weeks. Properly maintained batteries should last about 3 years…and replacement costs about $600.00- $700.00. Proper tire pressure needs to be maintained. Carts should neither be abused nor used for unintended purposes.

 How much emissions do the cars produce when running in the electric mode?

0!

 What is the maximum speed of these vehicles?

Standard speed setting is 17mph although it can be set to your specifications. Our strong motors can be programmed to allow speeds of 10mph – 25mph and are designed to have enough power to easily climb hills regardless of the payload.

 What is necessary to charge the car?

Each vehicle comes with a standard 110v charger that can be used in standard 20amp outlets.  For export, we offer a 220v charger option.

 How long would it take to charge a car?

Timing is dependent on how far down the batteries have been discharged…but overnight is standard.  If the vehicle is equipped with solar and travels 5 miles a day or less, it will not need to be plugged in, except for once every few weeks to briefly calibrate the batteries.

 What is the production time?

Production time is generally 30-45

 Please share additional information regarding the electric motors: 

Cruise Cars are built with a premium 4.5kw AC motor with an output of 6-13HP. This efficient motor allows for hill climbing and for the vehicle to be programmed to travel up to 25mph.  
Batteries: Number of units per car type and brand/voltage?
