The instruments

01

The Comparison Document

Two models, side by side, every spec sourced and dated. Ends in a stamped verdict, not a shrug.

Compare models

02

The Cart Finder

Four questions, ranked matches, and the scoring shown — the only quiz that explains itself instead of asking for trust.

Find your cart

03

The Five-Year Ledger

What a cart actually costs to own: charging, maintenance, insurance, battery reserve, resale. Adding-machine honesty.

Run the numbers

04

The Street-Legal Checker

Whether you can drive it on your roads — state and county rules with the statute cited, not vibes.

Editorial charter · Methodology v1.0

The stamp means somebody checked.

Every spec, price, and law carries a verification date and a source you can click. We make money only when a dealer pays for an introduction you explicitly approved — never for a ranking, never for a review, never by selling your number. The whole arrangement, in plain English.
