Electric golf cart running slow

danlewis75 · 02-21-2016, 10:22 AM

Scotty- I am looking at your website, I have a ruff and tuff and I don't know what type of speed controller. I look at your flow chart and mine had a front/reverse switch on the dash but I don't see a run/tow switch. I know when i go down hill the cart will do a hard jerk to slow me down. Any ideas?

Don't take my word here, please wait for one of the Vets to respond I'm also a NooB
But that controller is a SEPEX controller, based on what it says in the label SEparate EXcitation DC Motor Controller.

I you go by ScottyB info here: http://www.cartsunlimited.net/alltra...-controls.html These type of motors and controllers have a Tow/Run switch

Does your Cart should have a TOW / RUN switch somewhere? I do not see it in the pics.

I have looked all over and there isn't a run/tow switch.

Ok I charged the pack. Let it sit for 11 hours and checked the voltage reading and it was 50.1.

ScottyB- Did you see the controller? Any ideas? I charged the battery pack, then let it sit for 12 hours. The voltage was reading at 50.1
I have talked to come dealers around here and they say a 48 Volt should be running around 17 mph easy. Mine is only at 13 MAX.

It is definitely a sepex control.
I'm sorry I am not familiar with that control and a search for that model # came up empty?

Your local guy may not know anything either. Ezgo sepex stock goes 14 mph.

oh ok. I am going to buy one of your digital volt readers for my cart. Is it compatible with 07 ruff n tuff 48 Volt? do I need to buy any extra wiring?
