2 Seater Golf Buggy Sport
2 seater electric golf buggy geared for a higher top speed
This is the higher geared two seater: 25 km/h against the standard buggy's 20, and a 30% climb against 25%. It trades range for that, at 55 km on a charge rather than 80.

The battery, the wheels and the options change the figure enough that a headline price would be wrong for most buyers, so we price the vehicle you actually want, delivery included.

About the 2 Seater Golf Buggy Sport
Two vehicles in the range carry two people on turf tyres, and this is the one geared for ground that is either long or steep. The gearing that gets it to 25 km/h and up a 30% slope is the same gearing that costs it range, so it covers 55 km on a charge where the standard two seater covers 80.
That trade is the whole decision. On a compact site the extra speed saves seconds and the lost range costs a mid-afternoon charge, which is the wrong way round. On a long estate drive or a course built across a hillside it is the other way round entirely.
Where the higher gearing earns its keep
- Courses laid across a hillside, where the standard 25% climb is close to the limit
- Estates with a long drive, where 20 km/h turns every trip into a journey
- Sites where a buggy returns to a charger between runs, so range matters less than pace
- Security and grounds patrols covering distance rather than carrying anything
What it will not do
- Range is 55 km against the standard two seater's 80. If the buggy runs all day without returning to a charger, that difference is the one that will bite.
- The turning radius is 3.5 m rather than 3.1 m, and ground clearance drops to 100 mm from 120 mm. On a tight or uneven site the standard buggy is the better tool.
- At 25 km/h it is still not road legal. Faster is not the same as approved, and a public road needs the road legal model.

Questions about the 2 Seater Golf Buggy Sport
- How fast is this compared with a normal golf buggy?
- 25 km/h against 20, so about a quarter quicker. On a short run that is seconds. Across a long estate drive, several times a day, it adds up to real time.
- Why is the range lower?
- The gearing that produces the speed and the 30% climb takes more out of the same battery. It is 55 km here against 80 km on the standard two seater, from an identical 48V 4 kW motor and the same battery set.
- Is a faster golf buggy road legal?
- No. Road legality comes from European type approval and a registration, not from speed. This is built for private land whatever it will do. The road legal model is the one approved for a public road.
- How much does it cost?
- We price to specification rather than publish a figure, because the battery and the options move it. Tell us the ground it has to cover and we will quote the vehicle, the delivery and the lead time together.

Not sure whether to buy or hire
As a rule, buying wins if you would use it more than a few weeks a year or need it available without arranging anything. Below that, hiring usually costs less and takes the maintenance off you. The calculator works it through on your own numbers rather than ours.
