Sorry if I upset the golf (apple) cart
. I have made over 50000 posts on forums over the last ten years and have never encountered exactly this before. I was just wanting to make some of my statements a little more diplomatic, although they are accurate as they stand.
As to the auto-brake problem, since the solenoids have been replaced we have not had a brake lock up. I did have to bring one in off the course two days ago, but for an undiagnosed reason.
As to the carts themselves, they take a little getting use to. Golfers new to them keep jamming on the brake pedal trying to make them click. I have added a brief explanation to my Starter talk.
The reverse is also true. I am used to them, but where I play in league they don't have them. I find myself forgetting to set the hill brake, expecting the cart to brake itself after it coasts to a stop.
