Yamaha Drive (G29) owners in Johannesburg
The first-generation Drive is the Yamaha we see most. Fuel-injected from 2013, with a 48-volt electric that just keeps going. Eye of Africa, Houghton, Glenvista and the northern suburbs — Joburg has more golf-estate carts than anywhere else in South Africa.
Yamaha petrol carts are the pick for the long or hilly runs around Johannesburg, where charging is a hassle and range matters; demand for QuieTech and Drive2 petrol carts here is steady all year. Electric Yamahas are priced on battery age like any other cart.
In a city the size of Johannesburg the logistics are the easy part: we're in the area often, we drive our own transport and we don't need you to move the cart anywhere. Pick a two-hour window in the booking step and we'll be there.

Do you buy golf carts that aren't running?
Yes. Dead batteries, a faulty charger, a controller fault, a cart that has stood for two years — we buy all of them. The offer simply reflects the repair cost. Tell us what's wrong in the form and photograph the battery pack; that's usually all we need.
Is the offer really free, and do I have to accept it?
Yes and no. The offer is free and there's no obligation at all — it's a firm number, valid for seven days, and you can accept, counter or walk away. We'd rather you took our number to compare than felt pressured.
What do I need on the day of collection?
Your ID, the charger and keys, and the cart where we can load it. We check that it matches your photos, sign off the sale agreement you already signed on your phone, and pay by EFT before we drive away. If the cart lives behind a gate, let security know we're coming or send us a visitor code with your booking.
