Yours looks similar to mine. Make sure you remove the two bolts facing to toward the rear axle. When motor is loose the dust cap toward the axle will stay attached to axle. Once motor is out there are four bolts holding dust cap on. I understand that motor can be hard to remove because of it sitting for so long in one place. Takes some persuasion to pull.

Ok I removed the ones on the front....So I will now go remove the ones on the back....did you replace your motor and did you do any modification on yours.........

Thanks out side I go

I sent my motor to EMP for their two mode(speed) setup. I should have it in the next week, but it will be 3 weeks before I get to my cart to install. I'm running 60-72 volts on mine. At 60 volts, I'm hoping for mid 30's speed.

How did you send it to them .and how much was the cost and so on.............I was thinking about sending mine,,,but did not know much about them and how to get in touch and send it
Thankx David

How did you change the voltage and all that...I might use yours and your ideas to do mine........Can you help on this
thanks again

Dave if you don't have the motor out yet....I suggest you leave alone! Just add voltage. You will be happy with the results of a 48v conversion for 20% more power and speed ....afterall, it is a 3 wheeler and how fast do you think you can safely go in it????

I took the motor out and looked at it.....It looked clean inside and a the wires are fine....I m going to redue the battery wire an clean everything up....so how do you upgrade the power and all that ........I need some help....yes you are right about the speed.....but as it is right now I can do the worm faster than it goes now......that is if I was still able to do the worm after my injuries in Iraq
Thanks the help
