2004 EZGO 36v - Make Faster

Contender24 · 02-02-2018, 11:59 PM

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum and just recently purchased my first golf cart. She's in great shape, however, is a little slower than I would like. I've gotten her to 16mph and would like to get her to 20-24, nothing too crazy. The cart has stock rims and tires.

Any info and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Alos, would like to change the tires and possibly lift, however, I wouldn't want to do so if its going to make the cart slower. What are your thoughts?

Thank you,

First you need to identify what drive system you have. Series or sepex. Go to http://www.cartsunlimited.net/ and there is a chart there to identify it and also a vast amount of info on upgrading your cart.

It appears that I have a series motor... Seems to be a lot of information out there suggesting to convert to 42/48v, but is it really necessary? Would like to keep expense to a minimum and remain 36v if possible.

With a series cart more amperage equals more power and more voltage equals more rpms = a speed increase.

Contender24, can it be done? sure it can....but with a series cart it cost a bit more to get it where you want to go. seeing as you are running stock wheels/tires, I think it would be easy to assume you are going to be using your cart for street use. What is the terrain like on your streets/cart paths? is it fairly flat? hilly? what? it makes a lot of difference as to how to modify your drive system to make it do what you want to achieve.
1.Have you installed an aftermarket controller/solenoid? if so, which one, and what size?
2. Have you upgraded ALL of the high current cables?
3. Are you running the stock motor?
