Re: cruise control for ezgo golf cart ???
I once had a cart that had hand controls installed, if there was a way to tighten the pivot point nuts on the handle once you got to the speed you desired, that might work...

Re: cruise control for ezgo golf cart ???
Of all the questions I have about someone wanting to have cruise control on a golf cart the biggest one is how far are you driving that you need it? Even where I live if I want to drive to my neighbor's house its about a 1/2 mile but even in a car wouldn't set the cruise for that. And where you can legally drive carts on the road most of that is "in town" driving where I wouldn't set cruise control either. Cruise control is for the freeway.

Re: cruise control for ezgo golf cart ???
Actually, where my parents live, they can drive for miles and miles on flat 25 mph roads. At that excruciatingly slow speed, I might consider one, if I could go eat and shop on mine. Their speed limits are strictly enforced.
I guess it's a badge of honor to get a speeding ticket on a buggy. |

Re: cruise control for ezgo golf cart ???
Maybe some sort of potentiometer on the dash that mimics the ITS signal to the controller, then a momentary switch connected to the brake pedal that kills the power to the controller. With high pedal disable, the controller will not accept a signal to move again until the potentiometer is turned all the way down and then back up to desired speed. I have no idea how hard it would be to mimic the ITS signal, I'm in no way an electronics expert, just a thought.

Re: cruise control for ezgo golf cart ???
Well if you really wanted to do this, it could be achieved quite simply by removing the throttle from the pedal and using a volume style switch (i'm tired and can't think of the actual techincal name of this type of switch) as your throttle. Thus if you turned the throttle to max, it would remain on at max until your turned it back down

Re: cruise control for ezgo golf cart ???
Heck, why even have a gas pedal at all? Just buy a car choke cable - remember those - hook it up to the ITS and mount it anywhere you want. Simply push and pull 'till you get the speed you like, just like we used to do with a choke when starting a cold car.
You could move the throttle MS to the brakes to kill it. Just remember, as soon as you let off the brakes, it will spring back into action. Sounds like a fun gag, I mean mod for your "friend". |
