So how do you choose the ideal model without getting lost in the jungle of options, mysterious batteries, and electrical jargon? We'll guide you, without any pitfalls… and without any overly electrical puns, we promise.

Why invest in an electric buggy for camping?

Let's face it: motorhomes are getting bigger, suitcases are coming on wheels, customers expect the same comfort as at home, and the staff sometimes have tired legs. electric buggy It quickly becomes the best ally for winding paths, relaxation areas or minor emergencies.

If there's one rule in the world of golf carts, it's that every campsite has different needs. Here are the key points not to overlook… presented objectively (and with Subloisirs' experience behind the writing):

• Accommodation capacity: Logistics, staff, VIP clients? Choose from 2, 4 or 6 seats depending on the main use. The perfect blend between "minibus" and "mini Formula 1" (less speed, more safety!).
• Robustness and comfort: The roads around the campsite can sometimes be just as challenging as those of the Paris-Dakar Rally. Opt for sturdy chassis, comfortable seats, and suspensions that absorb bumps with ease.
• Ease of maintenance: Fewer gadgets, less hassle. Also consider how easy it will be to repair, so your teams don't have to play impromptu mechanics every week.
• The price/quality ratio: It's better to choose a partner who provides support, advice, and offers new or pre-owned goods, rather than playing roulette with classified ads…

• Who will primarily drive it: staff, customers, or both?
• What type of terrain? (grass, gravel, asphalt, or an obstacle course like on Koh-Lanta…)
• What equipment is truly essential? (charging case, rain cover, USB port…)

If in doubt, you can draw inspiration from other managers and share your experiences (or stories of missed slides) on specialized forums such as The Routard Camping or the GolfTechnic forum.
