2001 club cart has no torque
i upgraded my wheels now my golf cart has less power i bought it with motor up grade im guessing because it goes 25mph and when i use to push the pedal it felt like it was gonna lift off the ground but now i have added 8 inch lift and 18 inch rims i have way less power but it still goes 25mph do i need to change some gear or something

Re: 2001 club cart has no torque
If you changed to larger diameter wheels/tires, you will lose torque but gain top speed. Also, if they are a lot heavier (more unsprung weight), it will take more motor power to turn them and more braking effort to stop them.
What motor and controller do you have? |

18 inch rims? That's a LOT of added weight.

Re: 2001 club cart has no torque
You lose torque proportional to the outside tire diameter change. You changed that a lot!

Re: 2001 club cart has no torque
Your cart with large wheels is now like starting out in third gear. The only way to get the torque back is with a higher current controller or a higher torque motor.

Re: 2001 club cart has no torque
I get the low starting torque, but cannot understand why the the top speed would be limited under no/light load.
Is it possible that with such a huge lift and over-sized rims that the brake cables are too stretched and causing the brakes to drag? |
