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 8 Seater Golf Buggy Flip Seat
Eight seats is where a golf buggy stops being a buggy and starts being a shuttle. This is 4.36 m long on a 3150 mm wheelbase, turns in 6 m, and moves a party of eight in one trip on a 5 kW motor.
Everything about it is decided by that length. It belongs on service roads, car park runs and wide estate drives, and it is the wrong vehicle anywhere it has to thread between things.
Where eight seats earn their keep
- Car park to venue shuttles where a whole party arrives together
- Golf societies and corporate days moving groups between clubhouse and tee
- Resorts and attractions running a fixed route on made roads
- Sites where three trips in a two seater is the alternative
What it will not do
- The 6 m turning radius and 4.36 m length are the constraint, not the seat count. Walk the route before ordering: a shuttle that cannot turn at the far end has to reverse the length of it.
- Climbing capacity is 15% and the braking distance 8 m, the longest in the course line. On a site with slopes this is the vehicle to plan stopping distances around.
- The stated 60 km range is with the vehicle unladen. Eight aboard all day will not see it, so ask us about battery options if it runs a full shift.

Questions about the 8 Seater Golf Buggy Flip Seat
- How long is an 8 seater golf buggy?
- 4360 mm, about 4.4 m, on a 3150 mm wheelbase, turning in 6 m. Both figures matter more than the seat count when deciding whether it suits your site, so measure the tightest turn and the storage door.
- Do I need a licence to drive one?
- Not on private land, which is where it is built to run. It is not road legal, so a public road is out regardless of who is driving. Sites usually set their own rule on who may take the wheel.
- Is one 8 seater better than two 4 seaters?
- For a car park shuttle, usually yes: the group arrives together and one driver covers it. For general estate work, usually no, because two vehicles can be in two places and this one cannot.
- How much does it cost?
- We price to specification rather than publish a figure, since the battery matters a great deal at this size. Tell us the route 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.
