What is the max rpm of the Navitas AC motor? You stated you want 35 to 40mph and that's over 6k rpm unless you go with taller tires or taller diff gears. The page I saw about the 5kw motor said the RPM range was 0 to 5785 for the 5KW motor and 0 to 6800 for the 4kw motor.

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).

Oh, and very cool customer service!
