SHOW Caruca SHOWCASES THEIR LATEST SINGLE-RIDER GOLF CART Lee Styers, Caruca V.P. had this to say about the compa- ny’s 2019 participation, “We’ve made some pretty signif- icant updates to our product in 2018 and I can’t think of a better place to unveil these changes to the golf world than at the PGA Merchandise Show. Golfers and facility operators gave us a lot of feedback on our carts, and while it was mostly positive in terms of comfort, stability, and ease of use, there were some accessories and extra features that kept coming up as things people wanted, so we made some changes. We strongly believe these changes put Caruca in an even better place to accomplish our goals of providing an innovative, safe, comfortable, and fun alternative to the traditional golf cart. Stability and ease-of-use have always been our priority and we’re thrilled that golfers who have ridden our carts tell us Carucas are just that – stable and easy to ride. We are extremely excited to have the opportunity to discuss why our carts will not only be better for the game of golf but how our carts will help drive more revenue for golf facilities that give us a shot! 2019 is going to be a remarkable year for Caruca and we can’t wait to kick it off at the PGA Show!” LESS WEIGHT & SPECIAL TURF TIRES SAVE YOU MONEY Let’s face it, course maintenance is a never-ending bat- tle. Golfer damage, weed control, and seasonal changes all play a factor in your course’s condition. The average course spends a large amount of their annual budget just on course maintenance alone. Because the Caruca is just 22 WWW.GOLFCAROPTIONS.COM one-third the weight of a traditional cart and rides on tires specifically designed for turf maintenance equipment, you can expect those maintenance costs to be significant- ly reduced by adding Carucas to your fleet! The Caruca features an industrial grade electric mo- tor, controller, and drive. These parts were designed to provide high power, and long term reliability even under the multitude of conditions seen on the course each year. There is plenty of power to get the rider up hills, and the safety to ensure they are in control on the way back down. When the rider comes to a stop, there is no need to compress or lock the brakes. The motor does all the work and automatically locks itself preventing the Caruca from rolling away, even on steep hills. The on-board motor brake also makes the Caruca extremely safe and easy to just step off, and get set up for your next shot!
