Motor Question
Hi all,
Do the electric cart motors have brushes, or are they brushless DC motors? Also, what is the typical life span of a 48 volt model say ............normal type usage. (Refering to my 96 DS 48 volt cart) Thanks, BuddyGo |

Re: Motor Question
Yes the motors have brushes. A motor my neighbor and I recently took apart out of his 2001 48V controller cart had brushes that were pretty well worn out.

Re: Motor Question
Most motors will last 20 years with out a brush change under normal use. They really last forever.

Re: Motor Question
Thanks Guys,
I suppose it would't hurt to inspect them. Do you know if it is a simple task to inspect them? I know sometimes things are better left alone. Thanks, BuddyGo |

it is my cart that oxford is talking about above (actually a 2000, but who is counting years) and with the new brushes in the motor i would say it picked up about 2 mph. i was surprised the brushes made that difference. good luck.
