Climb a 20 degree grade?

Gregt909 · 09-17-2017, 12:25 PM

Just bought an electric Club Car with a 500 amp controller. It's being delivered next week. I have a very steep driveway (probably 15-20 degrees). Think I'll have any issues climbing this steep a grade? The dealer I purchased it from seemed confident it could handle it but will take it back if it can't.

Climbs fine with stock 250A controller. Not at top speed, however.

Here's what it looks like. It gets a bit steeper the last 10'

That's nothing! I've got over 1000' of over 20%. My stock 250A controller dropped from 14 down to 8MPH. My 400A controller can maintain 18+ all the way to the top

Glad to hear. I was worried it might be too much.

Thanks!
