engine break disable

pearman · 03-19-2012, 09:44 PM

I have a 02 ez go and would like to disable the factory engine brake. Does anyone know how? Or is there a piece to buy I've been told several different things but in the end nobody knows how... Thanks

Your in the electric forum, try the gas ezgo forum....but either way there is no engine brake. There is a governor though.

Are you asking about electronic braking from the motor? This is called regen or regenerative braking. Aftermarket controllers like Alltrax eliminate the regen. Some aftermarket motors eliminate regen also. I guess they work with the stock controllers? I'm not 100% sure about that, you could call an aftermarket motor company like PQ and ask.

You can also put a freedom chip in your stock controller and this will eliminate the regenerative braking.

I have a 36 volt cart.. I've heard you can make a jumper wire to trick it. When my cart was lifted with big wheels and tires I didn't have this problem, but I've put it back to stock height with stock wheels and new battery's an now it has a brake or governor slowing it down when going down a hill

oh, you said "engine", not motor. There is a difference.

My forward-neutral-reverse switch isnt on my dash it's on the body itself by the seat

The engine brake is in your imagination

Going from tall tires to stock height tires means the motor spins faster while cruising or coasting at any given MPH.
So there would be more mechanical drag coasting down hills, but I have no idea how much or how noticeable it would be.
In any case, it is a direct drive, so it is what it is.

Is there a Run/Tow toggle switch on the controller cover under the passenger seat? If so, your cart is not a 2002 model with a lever for F/R. If no toggle switch, your cart is a Series style drivetrain and has no motor braking.

Yes is has tow/run switch on the control box on passenger side
