I can show you how to do it for about $200:

Gornoman - now that I've upgraded my motor and controller - I am very interested in your 48 volt upgrade plan (the one that costs about $200 with the great photos).

A couple of questions - I installed a 700amp controller - I assume that and my new high torque motor will be fine. I do question if I can use the (brand new) HD 36v solenoid that I just installed. I'm assuming I need a 48v HD replacement solenoid? That would be a bummer, as I just paid $115 for the new 36v HD solenoid - but I'm pretty sure it needs to go.

Also - do you by chance have a diagram that shows the battery series hookup (with the 2 additional batts?). I see how the first one hooks up in series - the one that sits under the driver's seat. But I'm not clear on how to hook up the one that sits in the golf club storage area. How many new cables total would I need to make this conversion? Four? All of my other cables are 4 GA.

Thanks! StratoGeezer
