I just got this cart and need to ask a question on throttle issue. The cart runs great but when i let up on petal it slows down real fast,like the brake is down. Is this normal.? I checked the threads and did not find any with this issue. Thanks in advance for any reply.

You need to post the year and model but it is probably regen braking which is normal.

It is a 2010 .I had a 87 EZGO and never experinced this before. I just want to make sure that this is normal, or if it is a problem.

It's probably the regen braking. Does it do it just while going down hill or every time?

It does this every time. When you take your foot off the power it slows the cart as if the brake is on till you are almost to a stop then it seems to release. I dont have a problem with it as long i am not harming the cart. Again thanks for the response. I love this site, I read it every day.

No. it is fine. That is the regen braking in your cart...perfectly normal! Hard to get used to after driving a standard non-regen golf cart.

While helping a friend who bought a Precedent (2009 IQ, I think) from a Mountain Golf Course, he noticed that the Regen braking was programmed for "maximum" braking. It was pretty severe and really seemed aggressive when taking his foot off the accelerator from top speed. He took his controller in for re-programming and had it reduced to a much milder braking setting. Made a big difference. See this thread discussing the feature.
