I've owned two 48 volt hunting/clay shooting carts. I'm assuming that what you meant by "stealth" mode is when the batteries get too low to operate at normal speed -- neither of mine has ever done this.

My first cart was a 4WD Bad Boy Buggy. Will never own another one. Never got it stuck, but BBB had a lot of mechanical/electrical issues back then (Google Bad Boy Buggy Recall).

My current cart is a 2WD Beast. No mechanical or electrical troubles ever & has never come close to being stuck (although I use it more for clays shooting than for hunting).

Conventional wisdom says that if you truly need 4WD because of really bad conditions, you probably need a gasoline engine.

My bad. I meant "stealth mode" as in sneaking through the woods much quieter than a gas ATV. Not any particular function on the golf cart.

With a little lift and off road tires, will they go most places a four wheeler in 2wd can go?

I have been looking at the BBB Recoil IS. It has been completely redesigned from the earlier problematic buggies. Battery powered vehicles have more torque at low speed so I figured it would be good in mud. I like not hearing the engine while driving thru the woods. Most of my trips are relatively short so I do not require the range of a gas UTV.
