how good is a G2E

KAWMAN10 · 03-26-2009, 12:22 PM

I just purchased a 85 G2 electric from a guy for $100. said it was working before the terminal on the battery snaped out. he gave me a new battery to install.

I want to use this as a hunting rig and what not. with it being Electric what type of things can I expect out of this ride? will it have enough power to haul myself, hunting equipment, and an occasional Deer?

just wanted thoughts before I go all crazy on this and buy a lift kit for it.

thanks guys

Depends on the age and condition of the batts. Most of the electric cart guys on here say it's best to replace all the batts at the same time. Good batteries like the trojans are around $110 ea. If the batteries are good you shouldnt have any trouble cruisin the woods and haulin deer. Lots of guys on here hunt with them.

Well i got the cart running, put in new batteries and now cruzin around. lacks alot of power, since it's a 85. i want to lift and get a little more power out of it, what are my options. is there anything else I can to to make it better. i want to leave it a 36v.
what's my options?

Start with a new set of 4 guage wires. It will give you a little better performance. After that you are talking controllers and motors. Neither are cheap!
