Normally kids’ golf carts are meant for children in the age between 3 to 7 years old but since these machines are motorized it is strongly advised that parent consider whether the child will be able to handle the cart without getting hurt.

Normally the primary reason for purchasing a golf cart for kids is for them to drive around the golfing range with their parents and if not on the golfing range, then in the garden at home. Kids love to imitate their parents and if mom and/or dad drives a golf cart they’ll want to do the same.

Types of Golf Carts for Kids

Now I have already mentioned the Dexton Driver Golf Carts but that doesn’t mean that they are the only once out there. However they are one of the major players and because of that I’ll stick with discussing what options you have if you’ll want one of their cart models.

You can choose between the Big Driver model which is meant for the bigger kids and the Lil Driver model that is designed for the younger ones.

The Big Driver golf cart is powered by a battery and comes with two gears. The cart will drive with a speed of 2.5 mph in the low gear and 5.0 mph in the high gear. It has a load capacity of 90 lbs and comes equipped with both a cup holder and a sounding horn. The Big Driver is suited for two kids to ride it as one time.

The Lil Driver golf cart is also powered by a battery but with a lot less strength. Where the Big Driver had a 12 volt battery the little driver only has a 6 volt battery. This means that it can only drive one speed and that is 2.5 mph. It has a loading capacity of 65 lbs and is only suited for one kid riding it.

Kids’ Golf Cart Pricing

Electric golf carts for kids are naturally a lot cheaper that it’s grownup counterpart. Where adult golf carts can easily cost thousands of dollars you’ll be able to buy the Big Driver models from new at prices around $400-$500 and probably a lot cheaper if you buy them as used.

The Lil Driver models are around $200-$300 from new but again you’ll be able to find it at a lesser price if you buy a used model. One of the best places to find good deals for the Dexton golf carts are at ebay. At the time of writing there were several deals at almost half price so be sure to check that option out.

As for colors you’ll find the Big Driver golf cart in white and red and the Lil Driver in white and pink. There might be other colors available but I haven’t been able to locate them.

Where to Buy a Golf Cart for Kids

Again I strongly suggest that you check out ebay because you’ll find some golf carts for kids that has hardly been used but with great savings. But if you do want a new cart I strongly suggest that you take a look at this online sporting shop. They are very fairly priced and you’re able to read customer reviews of each product before you purchase anything.

Electric Golf Carts for Kids

There are many advantages of electrical golf carts but one of the major advantages, besides the fact that it is better for the environment, is that it is not as powerful as the gas driven counterpart. As it runs on electricity you will need to charge the battery before use and it is therefore always advised to have a spare battery that is fully charged in case you have forgotten to plug it in.

The electrical golf cart normally comes in two different types. The cheaper option is actually more of a golf bag on wheels whereas the more expensive and more luxurious version is an electrical car. Depending on your golfing needs and your wallet you can have great benefit from both options.

The Cheaper Electric Golf Cart

As you can see from the picture on the left the least expensive electrical golf cart is basically a normal cart driven by a small electrical motor. On the handle is a small grip that when pressed will make the cart move forward at a steady walking pace.

An additional advantage of this version is that besides not being as hard on your wallet it still let’s you get the exercise of walking around the court but without hurting your back by carrying the heavy golf bag.

Further down in the article I’ll give you a few suggestions as to where you can find some great offers on this type of cart.

Price ranges for this type of cart is about $200 – $400 depending on the brand and whether it is a new or a used model.

The Luxury Electrical Golf Carts

As I mentioned earlier the cart also comes in a more luxurious and more expensive version. You can say that it is actually no longer a “cart” but rather a “car” as it comes with a steering wheel, multiple seats and a roof. You won’t get much exercise from using these but that might actually be part of the “luxury”.

The car models are also powered by an electrical battery but a somewhat larger one of its kind. There are normally four different battery types: 24 volt, 36 volt, 48 volt and 72 volt. The 36 volt and 48 volt golf carts are the most commonly used types and of the two the 48 volt cart will have the greater momentum and power.

Early on the biggest problem of the battery driven golf carts were that the batteries would only last for a few hours of use but these days new technology has greatly improved the range and the longevity. Additionally changing the battery has become really easy and it is therefore always advised to pack an additional fully charged one in the cart.

Price ranges for this type of electrical golf carts are about $1,800 – $8,000 and some of them can cost far more than that.

Where to Look for an Electric Golf Cart

There are lots of places to look for both the cheaper models as well as the more expensive models. I’m not going to go into details about specific retailers in this article – for that I recommend that you visit the Golf Cart Dealers section. But one place that I do recommend that you check out before making your final decision is eBay.

Most of the carts you’ll find there will be used models but some of them have hardly ever been taken for a drive and you can save 30-50% compare to buying a new model so it is definitely worth checking out.
