Default Rear wheels dragging in 2005 DS?

This is my friends 2005 electric Club Car DS. With the rear wheels jacked up, I can move the rear wheels with effort. You certainly can't spin them enough by hand to have them spin on their own. If you get the wheels spinning with the motor, then release the accelerator, they coast for just a second and stop pretty abruptly.

I tried loosening the nut on the brake balancer to make sure the brakes aren't dragging.

He has been reporting a bit slower performance, worse battery life and a bit of squeaking come from the wheels.

Any ideas on things that should be checked? Or is it normal for the rear wheels to be turned by hand but only with firm effort?
