36v or 48v golfcart?

[TOBTEK]

mr salesman has a few 36 volt carts for a OK price(ive been told to get a 48v), but is saying that there isnt that big of a advantage as far as speed or power compared to a 48v....if so why do pep have the 48v then????? would like to hear from peps that have owned either......thanks

[boatnam2]

tobek if your going to make it faster get a cart that is not a dcs cart(digital control system)it more exspensive to make it go faster and there is a limit with the box.if you get a ez-go let me know i can probaly hook you up with parts at 40 percent off.

WOW...40% off thats sweet! but is a 36v EZGO a bad thing :confused: for just basic cruising does one need a 48v?

Hey Toby, mine is a 48v. I really don't know how much faster it is than a 36, but it does pretty well. I'm bringing it out to Hidden Shores on Sunday afternoon...if you're there then you're welcome to take a test drive. My temporary site is C96.
Bill :p

i dont know what i have one is a 1996 dcs cart lifted it runs good all day long the other i got is a 1998 non dcs because i was going to fix it up and make it fast but have not done it yet.the place where i get some of the parts says it will go 30 to 35mph with a hot motor.whats a good price i payed 800 and 900 for mine.

[luvmyboat]

:D a 36v willwork just fine, I work in san bernardino county selling forklifts, par cars etc. and a 48v battery will not make much if any difference in speed.
hope that helped

Being as this has come up my father in law is a toy builder. He is 83 and really shows no signs of slowing down yet. He wants to build a golf cart with a 360 yamaha that he has. We have been looking all over for an old frame but are unable to locate one. I am told the old gas powered ones are hard to come by well at least cheap ones are. if anyone can help please let me know. Thanks...V-drive

My buddy has a lifted 36v easy go and it seems to work just fine it aint a speed contest winner but gets us around and to the bar he took it to op6 last year and it got lots of use i dont think the batteries went dead either.He mainly uses it around aha quin area now he goes from twin palms to aha quin bar.

[Rocket2003]

I'm thinking of buying Gas! Any comments?

[pebo]

I run a 98 EZ-GO lifted 36v at the Islander in LHC. Its runs all weekend long on a charge. It does 13.8 on GPS. Not a rocket but does the job. As for Gas we cannot us them after 10:00pm. See lots of gas carts in other parks They seem to haul ass. :D

[Havasu Sun]

Pebo, Your going to get busted for speeding, Going that fast in the Islander! One warning and your out of there!!

[Sea Esta]

Here is a pic of my 1998 48v yamaha. I can go all day on a charge and my batteries are original. Once I change them out (this year) I'll probably be able to go all weekend. The 48 volt is no faster than 36v.

Toby, buy the 36 volt cart, change the controller and motor to a 48 volt set-up, actally pretty cheap, paint the cart yourself done for around 3,000 or cheaper.

[TOBTEK]

MAYBE A DUMB QUESTION....BUT IF A 48V ISNT ANY FASTER WHAT IS THE ADVANTAGE?
hAS ANYONE SEEN THE TUBE FRAMED SUN SHADES THAT LOOK LIKE A SAND RAIL FRAME? SAW A FEW THIS WEEKEND...VERY COOL!

Can you get or know of any others available in that price range? thats a good price from what ive seen. The best I have so far a 98 EZ reconed 36V for 1500.00 KAB's connection.

THe 48 volt set up will run faster with more power, but it really depends on your controller/motor combination, if all your looking for is speed they make big motors for a 36v set-up. I have a 48 volt 600 amp controller with a 10 hp motor. my cart will pull my mach 22 in and out of my spot no problem. If you really want speed buy a brand new 2003 ez-go with the two speed rear-end. :D

[kab]

Call victor and tell him you want an 98 or newer cart with the 36 volt set-up. The upgrades are easy and can be done anytime. You might not even want to change over. I forget the web-sites but there are a few where you can order your own stuff, but victor will be the cheapest way to go.

[RIVER WILD]

i am very interested in a cart please let me know who to contact about my options i will lift not to worried about speed now but maybe gas would be more dependable i am in marina village on the water and will use for dock and back :cool:

[Rocket2003]

OK, Gas or electric? I'm buying one or the other this week!

[Rocket2003]

Test

[Rocket2003]

I'm leaning towards electric, seems like the bottom end, trouble free (hassel free), and over all lower cost of repairs is better.

[TOBTEK]

YUMMMMMM.....shes just a little HOT!

[Rocket2003]

She's my next wife!
I bought a 2000 EZ-Go Electric PDS! Do you guys know anything about the differant chips available? Which one is the best?

[TOBTEK]

are you going to lift your cart? whats the diff between DSC and PDS. I was told not to get DSC if a lift was coming. Victor @ Escondido golfcar center buffed me out (I think!) 98 EZGO, pulling off the DSC system. Lifting, new seats, wheels tires, ect... Very good guy,very helpfull. I would refer everybody to them.
