Smith’s Golf Cars sells a large variety of electric golf cars and utility vehicles. Service facilities are also on-site. NBEAAers were treated to a show 'n tell of these vehicles and numerous 24V and 36V electric bikes, including the awesome 36V Lee Iacocca E-Bike. Smith’s also has many old, very interesting photos of the Bay Area on the walls, some of which can be seen in the images below.

An unusual array of vehicles were parked in front of Smith's Golf Cars on a fine July day in Rohnert Park. Front to back: one blue green Corbin Sparrow from SweetMotors, a red golf cart from Smith's, a Toyota Prius hybrid electric vehicle driven by NBEAA member Don McGrath, NBEAA chapter president Nick Carter’s Ford Th!nk EV, and another Smith’s golf cart. In the far distance is EBEAA member Lou Macmillan’s '30s vintage Chevy panel wagon.
