Series or regen, that is the question
So every time I ask for information on my cart, I always get the questions 'Is it a series cart?' Like when I'm seeking a part, or something.
The issue is, it's neither. I've completely stripped it to the frame, and it's going to be whatever I decide it to be. Be that AC conversion, series, regen...whatever. Since the frames are nearly all identical, I don't feel I have any restrictions on which way to go. So the question is, with nothing to start with other than a frame, which would YOU do and why? |

Re: Series or regen, that is the question
I'm not an EZGO owner bur a CC man , the series is the best for my application which is the need for as much speed as I can get for the money.
With the regen carts , from the factory they are restricted to 19.5 MPH unless U defeat something which always cost $$. But if I were building for children then I'd choose regen for the breaking and the fact that the theory is the regenerative(thus the name) voltage is added back to the pack. AC I have no experience. |

Re: Series or regen, that is the question
If money is no object, the AC conversion is VERY good. If the budget is limited, Series is the way to go. Regen is nice for golf courses and neighborhood cruising.

Re: Series or regen, that is the question
We need more information to make a recommendation.
Like me asking what kind of car to buy and you say cooper because it gets great mileage and I buy it but my 2 great danes can't ride in it |

Re: Series or regen, that is the question
I'm going to put a pencil to this and see what the difference in cost really is....I'm guessing it's not too far off once you factor in the lifespan of an AC motor vs a brush motor. Especially a high end DC....

Re: Series or regen, that is the question

Re: Series or regen, that is the question
I'll take that as a no.
Hey Gorno, do you have one? I have some questions for anyone that has the AC conversion. |

I know that OT just bought the big time AC stuff for his cart. Maybe he'll chime in here. I personally did not find any conversions other than the one at golf cart catalog that you mentioned. |
