Upgrade motor Q's

[MYCART8A4RE]

Hey folks, my neighbor asked me to help him upgrade his motor since his failed. He's looking to possibly add a few mph in the process so I told him to look into a "speed" motor. I don't have a lot of experience here since I'm still running my factory motor. He has a 2014 precedent with a 400amp controller (alltrax) rolling on 18" tires. He runs 24mph & is hoping to gain 2-4 mph while maintaining the regen braking. Can a higher h.p. motor gain mph without any other changes? I explained to him that a slight lift with a bit larger tires would get him there but he wants to get there with a motor since he has to replace it anyways and doesn't want to change his lift/tire set up. I just don't have any expertise in this area. Can anyone add insight here?

Tell him to call Plum Quick motors online. They should be able to fix him up with something. The Alltrax will need a new field map installed to match the new motor. The maps and the software are free.

I appreciate the reply guys. Will the Plum Quick motors retain the regen braking? I'll have him give them a call. Thank you!

It's optional meaning some of their motor options retain Regen Braking and some do not. Some may have a manipulated speed sensor that count 50% of the rpms - Call them to see what options are available for your cart and voltage.
