How much speed increase to 10" wheels?
Currently I have stock 8" tires on my 2010 Electric Yamaha Drive. I have the original Trojan 4 12V batteries. My top speed is 14 MPH. Does anyone have an idea what I can expect for a speed increase if I go to 10" wheels?

We need the tire size, not wheel size, to determine speed increase.

Depends on the total diameter of the wheel/tire combo, not just the wheels. My cart runs 10" wheels on low profile street rubber. No speed change because the overall diameter remained constant.

Usually in the neighborhood of 2-3 mph, depends on what overall tire diameter as stated above.

Best bang for your buck is to have a dealer reprogram your controller with a PTV code. Dealer in my area gets $150 for the code. It will get you 19 mph. Some dealers require that you have lights, turn signals, stop lights, and side reflectors. Other dealers don't care about the lights.

FWIW: Those that dont care about the PTV requirements are breaking their dealer contract with yamaha motor corp. |
