“ It just made more sense ,” said Roy Stone , business managing partner , “ especially in South Tampa with most of the roads under 35 miles per hour .”
Burns opened his French showroom doors this Tuesday ( May 1 ) at 4101 W Gandy Blvd in the space previously occupied by a car wash to the left of the Mobil gas station . Like its main St . Pete warehouse down the road , it will showcase signature golf cars .

Normal golf carts have a DC motor which drives off the battery and lasts 25 miles on one charge , but the Icon has an AC motor and provides up to 50 miles on one charge .
