Advanced EV Board

Hi All!!

Sorry if this is redundant or out of place, just bought a 2021 Advanced EV Advent 2+2L LSV and was looking for other owners.

Any help is appreciated!

Does anybody else even own one? LOL

Looks like an Icon with a different name on it. Both are sold where I am. Chinese. Check out the Icon section here. They probably come from the same factory in China along with several others marketed under different names throughout the US.

Unfortunately I'm limited on my choices for LSV/NEV's in my area. I had to go out of state to get the Advanced EV as my local LSV Dealer who only sells Bintelli / Star wanted almost $15K for a 2x2L+ Bintelli and $18K for a Star. Don't care how good they are, too much money for a golf cart with a VIN and was told the current wait list is 6 months for an EZ-Go and that's if you can find them.

LSV's are a different breed.

Well, I hear ya on the prices. Lithium Club Car with a few options (but not an LSV) is the same msrp as a Chevy Spark automatic (a real car). Ridiculous

I purchased Advanced EV. I want to make it street legal. I need to increase speed over its current 19 mph. Where can I purchase cable and software to program its NEOS motor controller for higher speeds?

What State are you in? I'd Google local Dealerships, mine was in Atlantic Beach NC and I live in VA.

This is where things get complicated. I live in Ocala and I think the local "dealer" simply made a deal with the dealer in The Villages. He refers to it as "the factory". Anytime I've taken the cart in where a programming change was required, he hauls it down to the Villages and those guys clearly don't understand how to program this cart. I think my main issue is a defective accelerator pedal. No programming change will fix that. If you press the pedal to the floor and allow it to reach max speed, then begin releasing the pedal, it reaches a point of about 20-25% of its travel before it reduces. I'm guessing there's a short somewhere in the potentiometer. This makes it nearly impossible to operate at any speed but zero or flat our. Modulating the pedal, like a toggle switch is about all I can do.

does anyone have the reverse buzzer that is hidden inside the black controller box ? I do not have the white/red horn looking buzzer near the charger/batteries like i have seen on other carts. But i hear the noise coming from the controller box. trying to locate the wiring to splice some backup LEDs in.
