I bought the above golf cart last week. I would only need it occasionally to make a trip to the store (~2.5 miles total). I got a deal on some 12V deep cycle batteries and plan to put three in series. I know some will say that is no good, but, I got a great deal on them so I will see how it goes.

The one upgrade I would like to try is the V-Glide Bypass. It looks like a relatively inexpensive and simple upgrade. When I do use the cart it will more than likely be at WOT for most of the trip.

Does this make sense? Are there other upgrades anyone would recommend?

Thank you....

Why would you want to bypass the v-glide? What are you trying to gain or accomplish?

Does your cart have a big toaster coil under the seat, or does it have a controller?

In another thread (https://www.buggiesgonewild.com/showthread.php?t=96608).

"The way I understand it, the bypass would be a separate (heavy duty?) solenoid that is actuated by the last contact on the v-glide. This contact essentially becomes just a 36 volt switch. The full speed voltage would come from the solenoid instead of the v-glide."

It has the toaster coil.
