How fast should a stock lifted 2000 txt elec be able to go on a full charge

You say it has a lift, but has it got larger diameter tires or are they stock too?
Lifted isn't going to make a cart go faster. If nothing is changed except a lift kit, your speed should be the same. It will go a very little bit faster on level ground if you have larger tire diameter.

The answer also depends on the condition of your batteries. A lifted "show cart" won't go very fast if the heart of the cart, the batteries, are old and worn out.

A stock 36v EZ-GO is about a 12-14 mph vehicle. If it's a PDS and you have a speed chip installed, you might get another 3-4 mph out of it, again, with good batteries.

Some of these cart experts around here will tell you more with more info. Hope this little bit helps.

Randy gave you the info you need. If you want to go faster it will cost you, upgraded wires, controller, motor, how fast do you want to go?

You can expect a 2-3 mph increase with a 22-23" tire on flat ground. Expect a 2-3 mph decrease on hills due to loss of torque with stock controller etc.

thanks for the info. it is a lifted stock cart with fairly good batt. but the wires may help,also if I do a good clean job on the conections, also the charger is powerwise hat does not keep the batts toped off.

A set of 4 gauge wires will help out the controller and help keep things cooler. Plus it let the cart operate more efficiently.

That is right, the powerwise is a battery charger not a maintainer.

So I must turn it on more than once to get a full charge???

you just need to charge it when you use it. the powerwise charger is a great charger it charges the batteries up to the correct voltage and then shuts itself off. a battery maintainer will stay on all the time and keep the batteries at a certain voltage.

just charge it, use it and when you are done put it back on charge. when the charger decides to shut off, then your batteries are full.
