What?
I met a fellow the other day here in Baja and he had the most incredible cart I have ever seen in person. It was a series cart I don't know the year but an EZ-GO. Beautiful Midnight Blue and chrome everywhere you could put it. Rims and tires were great, a Bandit motor with 500 Alltrax. 48 volt. 6, 8 volt Trogans. Fantastic stereo and split wind screen with fold-down rear seat. In other words everything. Beautiful. I was excited to take a ride in it to check out how a lifted cart would ride and of course the speed. I was disapointed in the top end speed. How could this be? My 2004 EZ-GO with a Bandit and 400 Alltrax. Stock rims and tires would beat his top speed by 6 MPH? I think. I want to go with a lift and bigger tires but I thought I would pick up more top end. Is a series cart not as fast as a PDS cart. How could this be?

Re: What?
It may be a simple matter of what he set his controller at. It takes a bit of torque to get the big tires, associated with a lift, rolling. It could be he chose maximum torque over maximum speed.

Re: What?
The series drive system makes more torque and the sepex drive carts make more speed, that is why one is better suited to off road and the other on road use.
