What one should I keep? 89 club car or 95 ezgo
Hey all! I have to pick all of your brains! I have 2 golf carts and I cannot decide which one is better to keep. First off I have a 1989 club car 2 seater with 36volt and 5 batteries that are 2009 and one from 2015. It has the resister coils. Now the other cart I have is a 1995 ezgo txt, it is a 4 seater with 3 batteries from 2010 and 3 batteries from 2011. This cart has a stereo system and all. Now the problem I am having is that the body and the over all shape on the club car is better but the ezgo has more accessories! So I am torn between which one to keep because I know I cannot keep both! So what do you all think ? Let me know and thanks for all the help!!

Re: What one should I keep? 89 club car or 95 ezgo
Unless you want to spend a bunch of money making the "resistor coil" clubcar modern, keep the ezgo. Find the nearest high-volume ezgo dealer nearby, and ask them about clean "course cart" body parts if yours are too dinged-up. Put a coat of paint on the ezgo & make it into the cart you want it to be. This one is easy, sell the clubcar on CraigList, use the money to build the newer ezgo with the more modern electronics. They both would be needing batteries soon (forget about that one new battery, its gonna be just as crummy as the other old batteries, thats what happens to newer batteries mixed with old batteries, spending anything on new batteries to mix with old batteries is like throwing cash into a fire pit). A full set would be about the same for either one. Batteries older than 2 years that you have not personally cared for should be suspected as "possibly garbage". They may have sat dead for 6 months while the owner was away, then "re-charged" (this would be a death sentence for the longevity of the batteries), or used, but neglected for charging and watering. 5 years is a good, long life for "used frequently for golf" batteries, assume that they are "done". I have seen 10 year old batteries still "drive into the building", but dont plan on any range at all (i will add that i think that none of the battery manufacturers are making a better battery than what was available 10 years ago, the "lead battery" has passed its pinnacle, anyone who says otherwise might also refer you to their favorite battery supplier).

This is the question we hear most often about these carts. Series drive carts like this one make more torque than speed. The biggest performance improvement comes from running the stock motor on 48v.

Well the real question is what do I have to do to make it go up hills faste? And what would be the steps to make it do that? The actual speed driving on flat land is fine. That being said I want it to pull hills better and lastly what do I need to do to make the cart 48 volt?
