Golf carts generally feature either mechanical drum brakes or hydraulic disc brakes. Each type boasts benefits, with hydraulic disc brakes offering greater efficiency and responsiveness while mechanical drum brakes are celebrated for longevity.
Both have distinct advantages and come with different maintenance needs. The braking mechanism in electric golf carts functions similarly to that of conventional vehicles.
Modern braking systems are engineered to enhance safety and control, particularly in emergencies.
Features such as anti-lock brakes (ABS) and electronic brake-force distribution (EBD) are vital for improving overall vehicle performance and ensuring a safer driving experience.
