I owned a couple of the older ones. The new buggies are made by ez-go. I now own a stealth and my dad has the polaris ev. So, i feel that i can give you an honest comparison. The badboy was the quietest buggy for me. The classic with the solid axle was a rough ride but had great leg room. The xt with the independent front suspension had a super smooth ride but lacked leg room because of the middle hump. I liked the engine downhill braking on the badboy which my stealth lacks. The brakes didn't last very long on the badboy if you use them very much, and getting new ones shipped took 4 weeks. Service may be better now with EZ Go. They aren't built nearly as stout as the stealth or polaris, but their 2 motor design is better than the single motor of the stealth. They have plenty of power but not as much run time as the other 2. With any of the electric buggies you have to pay special attention to keeping the batteries clean and full of water or run time will suffer. Cold weather,muddy conditions, and hilly terrain will also drain them quick. The slower you drive the longer u can drive. For sneaking around and driving to a bow stand they are perfect. I definitely see a lot more game in electric buggy than I do in my gas ranger. For work and play the gas ranger wins. It is simply tougher. My dads electric polaris has suffered problems from day one. My stealth nighthawk is awesome but unfortunately Stealth went out of business. The local golf cart guy told me not to worry, that he can work on my stealth like any golf cart. Hope this helps
