Golf Cart Performance Parts
Living in a golf cart community, we take our golf cart all over town - which we love to do. But I frequently pull off to the side so that the faster moving golf carts can pass us. That's because I own a 1987 Club Car that is very reliable - but slower than the newer carts. I think it's time to look at getting this cart up to speed ... literally. So how do you make your golf cart go faster? There are several ways you can get your cart moving faster, but first there are some questions that need to be asked: 1. How is the cart being used - golfing, hunting, hauling, or getting around town 2. Where is the cart being used - flat streets, like Florida or off-road in the mountains of North Carolina. How to Make a Golf Cart Go FasterYou can get your golf cart going faster by:1. Install a high speed gear set. With these sets you gain speed but you loose torque. Not a good option if you live in a very hilly area or if you haul heavy loads. 2. Replace your existing motor with a high speed or high torque motor. Factors such as a lift kit, oversized tires, back seat or a hauling bed will affect which motor to purchase. 3. Buy larger tires. If you are using it mostly on flat surfaces, consider getting larger tires. The larger tires the larger the revolution. You will sacrifice some torque if you go this route. 4. Install a higher amperage, high performance controller. My cart is too old to have one. But most new carts have governors that control or limit the speed of the cart. I'm just looking for a little more speed so that my golf cart isn't the slowest one in town. Be aware that there isn't any protection in a cart and there are state regulations as to how fast your cart can go legally. Some serious accidents have occurred in our community involving golf carts -so drive safely.
