We're the only golf car manufacturer that builds its own engines. At 357cc's, producing 11.4 horsepower, it's the industry's most fuel efficient, with gas mileage that's up to 15% better than our competition. It's quiet, virtually vibration free, and has low emissions. If we're going to build our own, it's a good thing we're Yamaha.

Our Yamaha gasoline engines use a splash-style positive oil lubrication system that eliminates the need for an oil pump. And with no oil pump to protect, there's no need for an oil filter. You save on maintenance, you don't have to buy new filters, and you don't have to figure out how to dispose of the old ones.

An industry first, inspired by the Yamaha ATV. A completely enclosed disc brake system that eliminates brake drums and shoes, needs only one brake cable, and is projected, based on extensive testing, to have an incredibly long life with essentially no maintenance.

Manufactured by Hitachi, our electric motor is high quality, highly efficient, whisper quiet, and at 3.5 horsepower is one of the most powerful in the industry. It's internal components are nickle plated and stainless steel for corrosion resistance, and it even has its own internal solid state tachometer.

If we're going to be the only manufacturer building our own motor control unit, then we figured we might as well make ours the most advanced in the industry. It communicates with the battery charger - also Yamaha built - and with the Yamaha Genius2 diagnostic and programming system. Its roll away protection feature slows it down and lets you know if the brake isn't properly engaged, it ensures smooth starts to avoid turf damage, and its solid state electronics include a microprocessor with high-efficiency switching. Golf cars don't come any smarter.

It extends battery life and rounds per charge by converting the motor into a generator to recharge the battery while the car proceeds at a regulated speed down hills, slowly and safely. If the parking brake is not properly engaged, the car will slowly inch its way downhill while it sounds and audible alarm to notify you and let you catch it.

Yamaha offers six 8-volt or eight 6-volt battery configurations to best fit your needs. The standard six 8-volt configuration provides dependable power that is less expensive to maintain. For courses that need extra range or for private car customers living in golf car communities that use their car to travel about town, the eight 6-volt configuration provides as much as 33% more range.
