Re: Help speed up my EZGO Shuttle…
There is a J2 connector port on the controller, but as you can see per the above attached image the Speed Sensor Harness plugs into it and it will not accept the Freedom type plug.

Re: Help speed up my EZGO Shuttle…
OK, I believe that the Curtis 1264-54xx controller is a programmable controller. As long as you have the Curtis programmer.
Good luck! |

Re: Help speed up my EZGO Shuttle…
Do you have any pedal up braking power or does it just coast when you let off the throttle? If you have no pedal up braking, the speed setting is already maxed out on the controller.
In reviewing the specs, the Shuttle 6 and the ST Express appear to be the same basic vehicle with PDS, 400 amp controllers and 14.7 rear gears. The Shuttle 6 comes with 18" tires on 8" wheels and the ST Express comes with 23" tires on 12" wheels. Speeds posted are 13mph with the 18" tires and 17mph with the 23" tires. A rear gear change from 14.7 to 12.4 will give you 2-3 mph max. |

Re: Help speed up my EZGO Shuttle…
Your J2 plug does not look like the J2 plug on the standard EZGO controllers, so a freedom plug does not look like it would work.
The owners manual for your cart does not list any performance options other than mild pedal up braking with a regulated speed. Because the 48v system is relatively new to EZGO, I doubt your dealer will know much about it and it is not documented anywhere I can find. Have you asked them about it? Have you contacted Curtis to see what can be done to eliminate the pedal up braking and get full amperage out of this controller? As pggroves said, I'm guessing you may need a Curtis programmer to get around this problem. One other caution here: If you eliminate all of your pedal up braking to get more speed, you may experience braking problems with a load on the cart. |

At this point I think changing the gear is the best solution without breaking the bank. What do you think about 8:1 gear, is that to low for this cart? |

Re: Help speed up my EZGO Shuttle…
I'm only guessing here but to go from a 14:1 gear to an 8:1 gear is about double and I highly doubt that a cart that big with big tires will take it without a serious torque loss and a probable over amperage/overheat/shutdown situation for your controller.
I would bet that the 12:1 is about as much as you could go without chaging the controller to a 700 amp +/-. |
