If you get the 4kw motor with 6,800 RPM that's a theoretical max of 39mph.
If you get the 5kw motor with 5,785 RPM that's a theoretical max of 33mph.

They will absolutely hold their speed better on inclines than the sepex motor currently in the cart, but if you want closer to 40 then you may be unhappy (unless the RPM limit I saw was incorrect).
According to Navitas, they told me 9,500 max RPM, so that cart should scoot on down the road!
