97 DS 48 Volt - Only 12 MPH?
Well its official the cart is ALIVE! Running like a champ. I GPSed it at 12MPH straight level ground and full batteries. Controller was upgraded from 300 amp to 400 amp. OTHER then a motor swap is there any way to get any more out of the cart with out getting crazy? Again thank you everyone for all of your help so far. I will try and get some pics up soon.

Up your tire size and you may see 15mph.
Reduce as much weight as you can (this includes your body weight). |

Re: 97 DS 48 Volt - Only 12 MPH?
bigger tires of course will take some torque away but with a 400 controller you should be fine . What gauge cables are you running ??? still factory 6 gauge should be changed to at least 4 ga.

Everything is stock. Well accept the upgraded controller but that was what the store had on the shelf. lol... I saw someone selling 8:1 gears for this cart. Would that make a noticeable difference?

Re: 97 DS 48 Volt - Only 12 MPH?
Research shows approx 8 mph increase. You will lose torque for climbing hills. Perhaps someone who has done the swap will chime in.
