The city of electric golf carts

It's called The Villages, located in Florida, and is the city of electric cars. Or rather, the electric golf cart. A company that knows how much American as it is a place specially designed for those who want to enjoy their retirement in peace, maybe even playing golf. We do not know which came first the chicken or the egg, or if the use of golf cart is designed for public transport or sports.

The fact is that The Villages are 90 miles of cart paths and clear are now used instead of the traditional car. Convenient for those who are after all not in a hurry, but most are silent on what we can see from the video, it is necessary to guide the license. Mind-boggling numbers: golf cars are circulating only 50,000 and 16,000 people are registered to the golf club.

It means that about two-thirds of the golf carts have nothing to do with sport. From here to customize a short step. My favorite is the yellow one with flames, American Graffiti style. But there are many others: just go to Tony Colangelo and choose from her catalog. There's like Mustang, the Hummer, Cadillac, a '57 Chevy and who knows how many more.

Prices range from 6,000 to $ 20,000. But the prize of "tamarro number one goes to the guy that you did install the sound style hotrod, charming and annoying at the same time. Here, however, there are those who likes to customize the microcar: all the world over, is not it? Sure, the golf carts are not suitable means of normal city traffic, but the experiment seems to work.

I wonder if other towns in the world would miss the example ...
