26" tires on a 48 volt
Is 26" tires on a 48 volt electric too hard on the motor? I am looking into getting a new cart and am not sure of getting a gas or electric.

Unless you plan on upgrading your motor/controller, I would go with a gas cart!

Re: 26" tires on a 48 volt
Would 26'' tires be ok for a stock gas or would I need to replace the motor with a big block?

Depends on where you are driving it! We have 27's with a stock E-Z-GO motor, it works good.

I would be driving in my neighborhood and doing some offroad on my land. Electric and offroad would be a no go, right?

I would think not on 26's without changing the motor/controller! Gas you should be fine.
But with 22's or 23's you shouldn't have a problem with an electric! 26's are big tires either way you look at it, but they sure look good on!! |

Re: 26" tires on a 48 volt
That is a sweet cart. I have an Ez Go with 6" lift and 22" tires now. I am trying to sell it. My batteries went bad and instead of replacing them and spending the money I want to get something newer with more power. I want something big and bad!

Re: 26" tires on a 48 volt
26" are BIG, and then it's hard to say if they'll be 26" tall when it's all said and done. My 27" tires measure right at 29", that's a little more than I wanted. My guess is a stock gas cart would only see top speed on downhills. Tires that size are heavy and have a lot of rotating mass, they take alot of hoursepower to turn. Tire weight plays a huge roll in all this, there's a big difference between the different brands/kinds. I wouldn't go over 25" on any stock cart and even then I would look for the ones that weigh less.
