"Valet" Speed Switch for cart?
I have a 36v Series TXT that is EXTREMELY FAST (34 MPH) with awesome acceleration.
I want my 14 year old daughter to be able to use the cart, BUT I want some way to limit the speed when she does. Any ideas on some type of governor I can put on my cart that is either key or code operated? Kind of like the "valet" keys that cars come with now. Thanks. |

If it is an Alltrax control put the 1/2 speed option on a toggle switch

Re: "Valet" Speed Switch for cart?
Others have proposed a removable carriage bolt mounted under the gas pedal, to limit pedal travel. Won't help downhill though.

Re: "Valet" Speed Switch for cart?
Or some type of resistor switched inline for the throttle signal?

Re: "Valet" Speed Switch for cart?
That's what I did for my gas gauge in high school, so I was always on empty, and folks who needed a ride had to cough up gas money. I used a hidden pot, so I could crank it up for real readings.

It has an Alltrax AXE 4844. On the 4844 diagram, I don't see a 1/2 speed terminal, only a 1/2 speed reverse terminal. |

[quote=benjylafond;1056148]That is the same thing - they just use it in reverse. You can activate it by simply putting 36v (+) to the orange wire with a toggle switch

Re: "Valet" Speed Switch for cart?
[quote=scottyb;1056155]So I would just run a wire from the last positive in the series of batteries to the 1/2 speed terminal and put the toggle between the + and the terminal?

Re: "Valet" Speed Switch for cart?
[quote=scottyb;1056155]Scotty B, I'm still a little confused. So I would run another wire from the positive terminal on my battery pack and splice it into the orange wire connected to the 1/2 speed orange wire. The toggle would be in between the + terminal and the 1/2 speed wire?
