Soon to have RFID and wireless control.

As of now, these only allow higher speed. You would need to limit speed in controller. Then add switch to select high speed.
It could easily be customized to slow cart if enough interest.

Wow, seams confusing to me. In the second link it looks like you can change the speed by the selection of the switches??? So being that my golf cart came with the speed kit (thats what seller told me it had), does this override that program? Right now it does 19 mph all day long. Would love to have it go down to 10 or 12 easily while still being able to kick it back up to 19...

Follow Sergio's advice in post #6 and the link I gave you. It's simple and will only cost $5-10.

That device INWO posted can only allow the cart to go faster, not slower.

Since You already have speed code 4 set, Your cart would likely only go faster down-hill.

It would also remove most of the Regen brake.

INWO, Your description says 'Stock 4 pole magnet can be changed", the Club Car stock magnets are 8-poles, no biggie since You are just reducing the count.

I am going to go with this. I will let you all know how it works out..
thanks

4N and 4S I believe is standard. 4ppr in any case. Hall only responds to one pole.

Although untested, MM can be set to a fixed top speed lower than normal.
I'll try resetting one to slower and see how it responds.

Only one model can do this. It uses an internal clock to set top speed at any point. Another adjustment sets the changeover point.

In theory, it could be set to 10mph changeover, then jump to 20mph which would plug.

Normal use for this is in cars with speedometer. Speedometer reads correct until top speed, 25mph in Gem Car. Then holds speedometer at 25 while car continues to >40mph.

On the bench it can be adjusted as low as 10mph.
Unfortunate this model was not designed with switch logic.
I would need to hard-wire in-out switch. Not a big issue.

Keep in mine that limiting throttle is not a governor, any more than on a gas cart.
It will not limit speed only power.
