I would suspect that many northern cities, all other aspects being equal, would be a poor fit for golf cart paths due to freezing weather or snowy conditions requiring plowing of and or salt application to the paths.,(reply>), @Zachary Sides Most golf carts are very heavy in the rear due to having 6 car batteries and they are incredibly easy to spin out when you turn on snow due to having smooth tires. The brakes work like the brakes on a bicycle except the golf cart weighs upwards of 300 lbs. You can fix this with aftermarket and customization but not everyone can be expected to tinker with them just to make it usable in the snow.,(reply>), Presumably you mean in contrast to roads for cars, which famously do not need to be plowed or salted in winter?,(reply>), The other issue is how cold it gets. Little dinky cart batteries are in no way designed to deal with sub freezing or lower temperatures. Also the elevation of regions like the UP where in the town of Houghton (a college down) has a road that heads down to the Portage canal that is nearly a 70-80 degree slope. Though the idea of a cart sliding at speed down Agate street is entertaining to think about.,(reply>), It wouldn't really be any worse than typical roads. The lower speeds would also make things safer if you were involved in a crash too.,(reply>), @Nikita K No, I don't think so.
