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

iv rode in them a few times, it sucks when you run out of battery. Id much rather have a gas powered something with a quiet muffler

A buddy of mine is in a 12000 acre club. One of the members sells badboy buggies. He wanted everyone to buy one,so they told him to bring one. He did. Charged n ready to go. They said the deal was this. Start at one end of the property, ride to other end and back. Then thay'd be liable to buy one. Battery ran out halfway to the other end of the property. Needless to say, no sales.

lol yea that was my concern we have a lot of acreage and dont want to be worried with the battery life at all times. got a ranger and only draw back is the noise. put the quite muffler package on it but knew that the battery cart would be really nice and quite. that stealth sounded like it was a good machine
