Yamaha designed The DRIVE to bring a smile to the owner.

Yamaha has the lowest maintenance costs of any fleet car in the industry.

They guarantee it.

How do they do it? The only golf car bumpers rated for 5 mph impacts. And they're the same height front and rear, to minimize damage in the storage shed.

An automotive style dash that provides golfers with all the creature comforts and puts everything within easy reach. Thermoplastic olefin body panels that are puncture resistant, cold-weather resistant, and closely color matched to the extra-durable automotive-grade polyurethane paint that goes on them.

And a motor control unit that moderates speed on downhill stretches and simultaneously recharges the batteries.

Most Powerful 48-Volt Electric Motor in the Industry Manufactured by Hitachi, the electric motor is high quality, highly efficient, whisper quiet, and generates 3.5 horsepower, which beats anyone else's in the business. It's internal components are nickle plated and stainless steel for corrosion resistance, and it even has its own internal solid state tachometer.

Yamaha-Built Motor Control Unit Yamaha is the only manufacturer building its own motor control unit, then they figured they might as well make it the most advanced in the industry. It communicates with the battery charger and with the Yamaha Genius2™ diagnostic and programming system. Its roll away protection feature slows it down and lets you know if the brake isn't properly engaged, it ensures smooth starts to avoid turf damage, and its solid state electronics include a microprocessor with high-efficiency switching. Golf cars don't come any smarter.

State-Of-The-Art Regenerative Braking It extends battery life and rounds per charge by converting the motor into a generator to recharge the battery while the car proceeds at a regulated speed down hills, slowly and safely. If the parking brake is not properly engaged, the car will slowly inch its way downhill while it sounds and audible alarm to notify you and let you catch it.

Four 12-Volt Battery Configuration Instead of six 8-volt batteries, they use four 12-volt batteries. It's more efficient and less expensive to maintain, and it also has fewer cables and terminal connectors. What's more, it's 57 pounds lighter than the old configuration. All the power with a lot less trouble.

Exclusive Yamaha Genius2™ PDA-Based Diagnostics and Programming There's a reason we call it "Genius." A common PDA with an infrared wireless connection allows for communication with the motor control unit on The Drive®. In addition, it enables customization of the speed and regenerative braking, using 25 settings to match your course and terrain. It stores and displays battery and vehicle data such as AMP hours, miles/rounds as well as diagnostic and troubleshooting information, helping you to get peak performance and get maximum profitability from your fleet.

HybriCore™ Chassis How do you make a chassis nearly 20% lighter and 2.5 times stronger? They mated an automotive, ladder-style, 100% robotically welded frame, protected by an 18-step paint process, with a polypropylene structural floor. Integrated into the floor, the battery box surrounds the batteries, eliminating a corrosion point. A self-contained pedal box gives the pedals top and bottom protection from dirt, debris and stray golf tees.

Automotive-Style Dash The auto industry spent a hundred years getting this right, so why not use it? Yamaha gave it four cup holders to hold different-size cups; a center storage area for wallets, cell phones, and personal items; six ball holders; six tee holders; and a big, easy-to-clean storage compartment on each side.

Reliable Trojan Batteries How could we dream of powering our car with anything less than the most reliable, longest-lasting batteries in the industry? Trojan Batteries also come with one of the industry's best warranties: 4 years or 1,000 rounds.

ClimaGuard Top™ with Dual Gutters The top is wider and extends farther in the front for maximum occupant protection, and it's longer in the rear to give maximum protection without interfering with the clubs. It has the only 360° double rain channel in the industry, and its integrated water drain system has an exclusive clog-proof design. It's built for rattle-free stability and has integrated grab handles as well as universal mounting points for information holders and GPS systems.

Low Cost of Ownership The Yamaha Drive boasts the lowest cost of ownership in the industry. The lowest. Period.

Tru-Trak II™ Fully Independent Front Suspension No other golf car has a suspension like this. They designed a maintenance-free suspension using automotive-style, coil-over-shock struts to minimize roll and deliver a smooth, comfortable ride.

Maintenance-Free Rack-and-Pinion Steering Steering this nimble and responsive was once found only on high-performance sports cars. Yamaha's version is permanently greased with sealed bearings and is virtually maintenance free.

Removable Floorboard Access Panel Forget the floor jack for inspecting the brake and accelerator pedals. This access panel makes it easy. Integrated brushes prevent debris and foreign objects from entering.

Best Occupant Space Best window of entry and exit. Best leg space in the industry. Best foot space, rear body to pedal. Improved steering height and position. Improved seat height and position. Improved headroom. There's no better space to occupy, take our word for it.

Built-In Transaxle Impact Protection The cast-aluminum transaxle case is designed with integrated impact protection. You don't need a skid plate to fend off the hazards that come from underneath. Our hardened case can take care of itself.

Easy-To-Maintain In-Line Battery layout By arranging the batteries in a straight line, they simplified the wiring and connections, they reduced the number of hold-downs, and they made watering and maintenance easier. Such a simple thing. Why hasn't anybody else thought of it?

Large Comfortable Armrest Exactly how important is an armrest? Depends on whether it's done right. These are strong, made of steel-reinforced, glass filled polypropylene. It's larger and wider than previous models, but it doesn't interfere with entry or exit. It's substantial enough to provide comfort and security for the occupants—and if that's not important, what is?

Most Reliable Warranty In The Industry The DRIVE® comes with a 4-year limited warranty.* The Trojan batteries come with one of the industry's best, a limited 4-year or 1,000 round warranty. And if anything should go wrong—hey, you're dealing with Yamaha. There're going to make it right.
