Do not place your reservation with us until you’ve checked with your property manager to ensure your neighborhood or condo area allows carts. If you rent a cart that you’re unable to use due to HOA restrictions, a refund will not be issued if you’re within 10 days of arrival. If you book and then discover it cannot be used where you’re staying, a $50 cancellation fee will be withheld from your refund to offset the losses RIdeAMoke incurred on processing your booking.
- Charging: It is your responsibility to ensure you know how to charge your rental and that you have a place to charge your electric rentals. We will provide you with an extension cord. Ride A Moke is not responsible for charging your rental on multi-day rentals. If you have any questions please call us or refer to the HOW-TO section on this page. Typical 110 outlet needed to charge.
- Electric vehicles are limited on miles you can drive, typically around 25 miles per full charge depending weight, terrain and average speed. It is your responsibility to manage your miles to last during the time needed. We will not provide a new rental for rentals driven over 25 miles prior to your rental time expiring. 5hr or 9hr rentals if you drive more than 25 miles prior to your time your rental will be over when the battery is dead or to low to safely drive. If you need another rental one can be provided for addtional rental fee if available.
- The golf cart will need to be charged overnight daily, and we also encourage you to charge it during the day when not in use. That way the battery is always full and ready for you to enjoy. Carts <50% charged should not be relied upon and need immediate charging. They’ll soon begin to decrease in speed, quickly depleting and going dead. If lights start blinking or you hear a beeping noise, or the speed reduces and no longer going as fast as it once did, its time to get back and charge.
- Charging can take 6-8 hours to fully charge.
- Golf carts are allowed ONLY on posted roads with speed limit of 35mph or less.
