Default Golf cart as a tug...

Hi Bastoune, I would go for the petrol option as you can soon re-fill the
tank dependant upon how much use it gets.

They will tow twin seaters quite easily on tarmac.
However if the glider is leaving ruts in soft ground, they struggle a lot.
This would use a lot of battery, in an electric cart.

The usual limiting factor is wheel grip, as the wheels will spin on damp
grass, due to the light weight on the rear tyres.
