The meter gives extremely accurate readings, sampling the pack voltage 2.5 times per second to do so. What you are seeing 5-10 minutes after you stop is the surface charge returning.

The rear seat, long top, brush guard, tool kit, etc. all add to the cart's load. Top that off with the 23" tires and you have reduced the run time just because it now takes more power to run the cart. ... especially in soft sand and muddy footing. Normally the cart will run for 90 minutes on a charge. Add your gear and mods, I would guess you would have about 60 minutes of actual peddle time on healthy 190ah batteries.
