What HP do I have

The Villager · 05-12-2011, 06:33 AM

I can read this on my elec motor tag:

Rating: AU 2800 10-31-06
Class II Serial # 20
Volt DC 36/48
Part # XP2129

How may HP?
Is it 36 volt or 48 volt?

I can't get into position to read the manufacture name.

The cart is a Western Elegante on a EZ Go Chassis.

Most likely a stock 2HP at 36 volts. It will run on either.

Because of the power I have, I am thinking it is about 6 or 7 HP, just would like to know for sure. I don't think a 2 HP would move this heavy cart at all.

Hey Villager, this cart is 42V -7 - 6V right?? with brand new T105 trojans,

thats why your cart has some power, because of the 42V, and the brand new batteries, not sure what HP your motor is

No, I can guarantee you its not 6 or 7 HP. 2 HP is all most carts have. It's a stock motor, now which stock motor is another story. The 2800 is the motor RPM....which is what most, if not all, stock 2hp motors are rated at. If its 42 volts its going to be a little higher than 2, or even a 3 or so but not 6 or 7. Feel free to search the motor if you want.

I did search with no luck. That is why I asked on here. The order form from Western Elegante Country Carts says 5 HP, but not sure so wanted to verify. I don't think it would be stock since this cart is so heavy.

Someone will pop up here that has a late model Western Elegante 4 seater.

That number, Part # XP2129, doesn't come up in anything Ive found. It could be a reworked motor or an off-brand. They do have some 5HP's that are generally coupled with a 400 amp controller. (not sure what you have cause no details are listed) If its a stock 250-275 amp curtis then it won't be a 5. Electric motor HP is different than an internal combustion engine. You'd be surprised at what an electric motor is capable of. I'd go with what the sticker says.

The current 48 volt E-Z-GO TXT is rated at 3 continous hp. The club car precedent 48 volt has 3.3 hp. The yamaha drive has 3.5 hp. golf carts don't have very much power, with a custom controller you could have 5 hp, but if you have a standard ezgo one expect standard ezgo power.
