72 volt drive top speed
Finally did a top speed run with the 72 volt Drive. 8:1 gears and 22 inch tires it topped out at 35 but beat v8 f250 to 35 mph. I had plenty of take off so I got 25 inch tires now but haven't checked the speed on it yet. I'll try to get some video soon.

Re: 72 volt drive top speed
So how does it fell to you with the 25" tires? Do you still have good take off torque? So how much drop in torque do think?

Re: 72 volt drive top speed
It feels great on take off in parking lot but haven't made any top speed runs. It will still get sideways with throttle in the gravel.

Re: 72 volt drive top speed
I'm guessing your top speed will be a touch more on the 25's.

Re: 72 volt drive top speed
It should be there definitely taller, had to go skinnier to tuck them under the fenders.

Re: 72 volt drive top speed
The cart in my avatar would run 29 on flats. The tires on it were 26x10x12's. I took all the components out of it and put it in a lowered cart on 205-30/14's and it would run 25. Rotating mass will give a few more mph.

Re: 72 volt drive top speed
Its not the mass. Its soley the height and tread pattern that determans top speed if rpm is constant..I would think that the rotational mass of a heavier tire might actually fight against the top speed

Re: 72 volt drive top speed
My off road 72 volt cart has 24" tires with stock rear end gears and tops out at 22-24MPH but it has a custome torque motor by PQ. It will climb a tree if I could stay on it. Trail riding sped normally isn't much over 15 MPH but it's nice down at the beach during the summer.
GTO 06, Good job on the cart. |
