plum quick

I just talked with the guys at plum quick in SC. Thinking of having my stock motor rebuilt. Has anyone here used them and if so, is it worth the $225 to rebuild the motor to get a 20% increase.

They basically clean and recondition your motor. Maybe better brushes or....

The real questions are: 1. Do you want to spend that much to have your motor reconditioned and minor upgrades added? 2. Is, "up to" or "as much as" "20%" (3 mph if you are already getting 15), worth $225 to you?

I'm not demeaning Plum Quik, they have been around a long time and I know people who swear by them. They obviously know what they are doing as I rarely see a negative comment about them. I'm just trying to get your head in the right direction. The question isn't really whether or not 20% is worth that amount. The question is, the probable results of a recondition worth it to you.
For me, it was. They also found issues within the motor I did not know existed. I didn't use PQ, but the process is basic.

IMO, it's almost worth it just for the handle they put on it.

Don't forget the shipping costs.

What year is the motor? That is the only real question. If it's a older cart it would be well worth it to have a fresh motor back in it for the cost.
A new motor is well over $500.00! So yes it's well worth it.

I live 45 mins from them, so I can drop it off and pick it up.No need to ship.
Just looking for others that have used the plum quick motors. 98 ezgo series cart

I used them for my yamaha series and got 19 mph. A stud was broken so an extra 20 or so and three weeks. It looked brand new with a nice paint job and handle.
well worth it to me!

My cart was a 48 volt with a 36 volt motor, then I melted the S1 stud right off of it . Standing at the cross roads i went one step further and had them build me a new motor instead of re building the old one. I chose the new one for it would be able to handle the 700 amp controller better.

What do they actually do to the internals when they recondition it?

It's worth it just to have a motor that matches your cart

This is a world where we pay $100's to $1000's to go an extra mph - so yes, it's worth it

Sometimes we pay much more to get what we want and have some nice surprises as well as learning a lot about our carts.
I would consider upgrading the motor unless you are happy with the performance off a stock system. (most are not, we want something better), that is why we are here...
