PGA Show Demo & Fitting Day

Demo Day is the world’s largest outdoor demo experience, where over a hundred golf equipment companies showcase their newest clubs, golf balls, grips, instructional aids, and more.

 

At Yamaha Golf Car’s Demo Day display area and test track (located behind tee box #2), their brand-new Lithium-ion-powered golf car with Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) will officially be introduced as a part of their industry-leading lineup. Yamaha is known for offering the strongest product line of golf and utility cars in the world, and the addition of the Drive2 PowerTech Li with IRS model offers customers the same comfort, reliability, and performance that they are accustomed to, but with a Lithium battery solution. Yamaha is the only golf car manufacturer in the industry to offer a Lithium battery with an IRS option.

 

Manufactured by RoyPow®, this lithium-ion battery has been further optimized by Yamaha and made specifically for their products, to achieve the perfect balance between efficiency and comfort. Yamaha is proud to partner with RoyPow, a company known for being a leading lithium supplier to brands such as Chrysler, Hyundai, Kia Motors, and Mercedes-Benz.
