Re: DIY Cruise Control ?
Curious why would you want this? What is the situation where you cannot hold the gas pedal down to go?

Re: DIY Cruise Control ?
Depending on what cart you have and why you want "cruise control" I have several methods that work well.
I have a setup I am working on for my brother in law who had a severe stroke last year and has very limited movement of his right leg and right arm. What I have so far will let the cart cruise at any speed under a preset limit, and release with a light touch of the brakes. I have several safety features including a lanyard kill switch and seat pressure switch. I am still working on it to improve safety. The setup is not cheep by any means. If you have a real reason to need such a setup, Ill share what I have done so far. |

Adjustable curtain rod. Adjust to desired length to get desired pedal depression and wedge between pedal and seat.
I'm sorry, I just had to do it.  In all seriousness, Rev's method sounds by far the best.  |

You could also use a throttle lever such as lawn tractors use.
