Default Cons of 48v motor in 36v cart?

I’ve got an 82 club car Ds that the motor is bad. I have access to a 48 volt motor.

I’m gonna take this one to the Motor shop to see about repairing is repairable but curious if I could just drop the 48v motor in without any issues?

I searched and got conflicting answers but most common answer is it will be slow.

Slow as slower than a 48 volt cart or slower than my 36v if was functioning?

Thank you

My understanding is that yes it will be slower than a 48v cart or your 36v cart if it was working...

I'm sure the more knowledgeable electric guys will be along to say for sure...

Yeah, you do not want to do that unless you have no other choice. Slower, less torque, more heat, etc.... (It was designed to have 48+ volts going through it)
