Is the Hawke The Eight a good golf buggy?
Hawke The Eight is the grand tourer of the grounds: eight seats of shuttle capability for the largest estates, resorts and events, without sacrificing restraint. A 13.5 kWh lithium pack and our price-match guarantee back it up.
We score it 9 out of 10. The high points are eight-seat shuttle capacity, big 13.5 kWh battery for a full day's work and restrained, premium finish with a price-match guarantee. The trade-offs to weigh up are large, so needs space to manoeuvre and store and built to order.
How much does the Hawke The Eight cost?
Pricing is on application from dealers. As a guide, expect it to sit in line with comparable people mover models.
Whatever the list price, we will aim to beat any genuine like-for-like quote on the equivalent Hawke model, so it is always worth a quick comparison before you buy.
Performance and drive
The The Eight is geared for low-speed road and site use, topping out around 25 mph. Expect a real-world range of Up to 50.
Space and practicality
It seats 8. Overall it measures 4.60 x 1.50 x 2.00 m, so factor that into storage and turning space.
Running costs, charging and batteries
Power is Lithium electric. 13.5 kWh lithium. 9 to 11 hrs (13A). As a rule, a lithium pack costs more up front but lasts far longer and needs no maintenance, where lead-acid is cheaper to buy but needs watering and careful charging.
Is it road legal?
UK: Estate and site use as standard; road-legal builds to order. US: Comparable to LSV specification on request. In Britain, road use means the buggy must be approved as an L6e or L7e quadricycle and registered with the DVLA; in the US, a street-legal cart is a Low Speed Vehicle (LSV) capped at 25 mph with the required lights, mirrors, belts and a windscreen.
