Do you get money off as you'll need to replace the suspension that someone has stolen?

A Golf cart company in Nottingham has had the rights to produce them for a few years.
They're electric with basic running gear.

I drove the prototypes around a stately home and the rectifier under my seat kept overheating, causing it to cut out.
The same firm also has the rights to produce the Trident; both were in production when we visited in 2015-ish.

Why does it use a rectifier? Isn't it all DC?

OK...the ones I drove and saw produced in Nottingham were all electric.

If matey has fitted one with a Honda engine it might have been retro fitted, or the firm may have started slinging ICEs in them because the range of the prototypes was pitiful (they were surprisingly heavy).

As God and Peel intended. So ICE is now another acronym with a double meaning I'll have to get my head around now.
