This whole golf cart community thing is the reason why I had the idea for a so-called "personal hybrid vehicle". Remove the massive lead acid battery cells and outdated DC motors and replace them with a 6.5 hp gas engine, light weight LiPo batteries, and a 2-hp brushless motor. Tune the suspension so the thing actually handles well, and now you've got an 8-horsepower rear-wheel-drive tire-roaster than can do... wait for it... 25 miles an hour.
