Gas to electric?

sbarnes · 12-12-2009, 06:52 PM

Has anyone converted a gas cart to electric. I am rebuilding and modifying a Cushman UTV that is gas. I was thinking of converting it to electric for hunting purposes.

MOst of the gas to elec or vise-versa go undone once the owner realizes it is cheaper to sell what you got and buy what you need

List of items you will need.
Rearend/differential
Motor
speed control
directional switch
batteries
charger
I justlisted $1500 worth of used stuff if you can find it

Yes I know, But this cart is the first thing I bought and built my business with, it was retired a few years ago when I went to Polaris Rangers. I just can't let the cart go, so I'm going to lift it and basically make a super-bad cart out of it.

Not to rain on your parade but lots of cost and work for the return.
If your dead set on it then try to pick up an electric donor cart and go that route.
