2008 DS top speed???
Does anyone know how fast you can SAFELY go on a stock IQ motor? Mine is getting to be pretty quick and I don’t want it to explode

Re: 2008 DS top speed???
I think most recommend keeping it under 6,000 rpm. Mostly to keep the windings from flying apart.
Gearing and tire size will then affect your overall top speed. |

Re: 2008 DS top speed???
I have no idea how many RPM it’s turning. Has the stock controller and a speed magnet. Tires are slightly larger than stock 205/50/10 but not much larger, cart isn’t lifted.

Low to mid 20s is usually the target when people do an Alltrax upgrade with a stock motor.
Those tires are pretty close to stock size, so maybe good for an extra 1 or 2 mph. |

Re: 2008 DS top speed???
27 mph will equate to 6k rpm. FWIW, my wife's '14 Precedent does 27/28 with 18" tires, stock controller and a stock APPEARING motor. I have no idea if any mods have been done to it internally, but so far it hasn't grenaded.

Re: 2008 DS top speed???
Thanks guys. Think I should be all right. It’s doing 23-25mph pretty consistently on flat pavement now. Motor and controller are stock except for a speed magnet. Just don’t want the thing to grenade on me. I know it was really only designed for about 14mph That’s more speed than I really need 90% of the time but it can be helpful for a couple patches I have to cross some fairly busy streets. I’ll just have to keep an eye on the downhills and ride the brakes so it doesn’t go too fast.
