Questions about carts
I am looking at a couple carts and have questions for the Yamaha'ers or others on the board. I am new to this topic so forgive my lack of cart smarts.
I am trying to decide between two carts, a 2001 G16 and a 2007 G22. I can trade for the G16 for $500 difference or the G22 for $1,000 difference. The G16 will have new 6-8v batteries installed. The G22 will have original 6-8v batteries. What are the big differences between the G16 and G22, besides six years? Both are similar in condition. I don't need a lot of speed but have seen threads of people asking for help with slow carts, less than 12 mph. I need climbing torque over speed. Is this a problem with either of these two carts? If they don't have factory lights can off-road halogens or other be added? Is there room in the battery tray with 6-8v's for a 12v accessory battery? I am adding a rear seat option. Will I have to upgrade springs or suspension? Sorry for the barrage of questions. I have been searching the threads for weeks now. If I look harder I may find answers to some of my questions. |

Re: Questions about carts
My bad Smallblock. You were correct one of the carts is a G19. The dealer said I would like the G22 better because of upgraded brakes and rack and pinion steering. Might go ahead and pull the trigger on the G22. Other than what they told me about steering and brakes I didn't know what big differences there were. I didn't want to miss anything like the G19 has a different motor or anything.

Re: Questions about carts
Thanks Dave. You guys on here know your stuff. I understand a gas cart may get me more performance but I'm after the quiet factor. I hunt a lot and need something to get to the back forty on my farm without advertising to every turkey and deer on my place "here comes that guy again to try and stick an arrow in us." I still have the tractor and two other ATV's for the heavy lifting. I borrowed a G1 from my neighbor last year and got around just fine. My boys got it stuck but tried to cross the creek, something I won't do.

Re: Questions about carts
Hey Spunky
I have 4 2005 G22 E and they are great carts, they have a fair bit of torque, I would suggest going with the G22 E. You can get an upgarded torque motor and controller if you really want to get some decent performance. As far as putting on lights, I would suggest getting a 24 volt- 12 volt converter and picking the power up off of your first 3 batteries. I you wanted to add a 12 volt battery you could hide it under the rear facing seat. I have found the frames to be built very well on the G22`s and having the coil over suspension is great as well, makes for a simple lift. We are just about done working on our second cart with a small 3 inch lift that we have designed to give us room for our 14" low profile tires. Then we are on to our third cart which we are building for a local hunting customer with 8" lift a high torque motor with 26" rubber. And finally we are building a 72volt cart on our yamaha that will be stretched and lifted. Sorry to ramble, what I am saying is spend the extra and get the G22. Thannks |
