If you bought it cheap,and its' nice.Sell it and buy a gas-cart,either that or find the same-model cart in gas and swap the parts(combine the best stuff from both carts.The actual conversion without a donor-cart is quite involved and will require some fabrication-work.I don't know what your skills are,or what you can afford,so I would look at your options before deciding to dive into a conversion.Hope this helps.

Pachanga90 is right, i've done this before with a lifted EZ-GO TXT. first i converted it to 48v 650amp, 6.1hp D398 motor. it would yank a wheel off the ground. but it fried the controller in deep sand. then i converted it to v-twin big block. it required a donor cart for the axle, throttle cables, and wiring. You must change the axle to keep the clutch and reverse gear from the gas(axle new=$1600,ouch). It would have been very expensive to get the parts individually.
