1995 Club car DS slow

bkytchak · 03-16-2021, 01:45 PM

I recently purchased a 1995 48v Club Car DS (serial no: A9507425271). This is my first cart, so I'm new to a lot of this. The cart tops out around 12mph on level ground and 8mph up hill. After reading some other posts I did some troubleshooting. I tested the pack after a full charge and I got a reading of 50.9V. When traveling on a flat surface my readings dropped to 48-49V, and when traveling up a hill my readings dropped to 45-47V. I also tested the v glide and the wiper is making full contact with the last copper pad when pressing the accelerator.

I'm not looking to gain a ton of speed, but if I could get this cart to at least 15mph it would be nice.

Any advice on how to increase the speed of this cart without replacing multiple parts?

As long as you’ve got a shift handle to shift from forward to reverse and not a button, you can use a 36v club car motor for a cheap speed upgrade. It will work fine in 48v and give a nice bump.

Okay, it does have the handle/lever for forward and reverse.
