Lada made WHAT? Lada's Electric Golf Carts

Lada's electric golf lineup:

1999 Lada Golf 1002 - two-seater with a cargo platform

1999 Lada Golf 1004 - four-seater

2001 Lada Golf 1004T - four-seater electric car with a roof

In 1999, by order of the Moscow golf club in Nakhabino, they began to develop an electric car of the Golf cart type. During the year, two types of golf car electric vehicles were produced. The electric vehicle Lada Golf 1002 is a two-seater with a cargo platform, and a Lada Golf 1004 is a four-seater.

These electric vehicles were front-wheel drives. The front suspension, steering, PT-125 traction motor with a gearbox, and a 48 V electric drive were borrowed with minor changes from the Lada Oka Electro electric car. A lead-acid battery with a capacity of 120 Ah made it possible to have a cruising range of up to 40 km. The lead designers were S. Ivlev and V. Pleshanov. Electric vehicles were manufactured at UDA. Two Golf Cars were sent to the Nakhabino Golf Club for display and performance demonstration. The golf club experts and managers highly appreciated the design of the electric vehicles, which compares favorably with the electric cars "Сlab Car" and "Yamaha."

When testing the truck with a full load, it was found that there is not enough adhesion weight on the front axle to overcome steep climbs when driving over rough terrain on wet grass. It was decided to make the Golf-car electric trucks with rear-wheel drive. During the year, the documentation was developed, and three Lada Golf 1002 electric trucks with rear-wheel drive were manufactured at UDA. After acceptance, three electric trucks are still in operation in the Nakhabino golf club.

In 2001, at the Moscow Motor Show, a modification of the four-seater electric car Lada Golf 1004T with a roof was demonstrated.
