The average top speed of a standard golf cart goes up to (and maxes out at) 15 mph on average. So getting from one hole to another can be a very slow process. But, there are some ways you can make your kart lighter and faster too. Several companies sell different items to help you with this task.
The first step is to try to get rid of any excess weight; Anything from extra cup holders to fancy, unnecessary rims on the wheels.
A very simple but often overlooked fix is to make sure the undercarriage is clear of debris. Mud and other caked on residue will slow the car down a lot.
You can also add bigger tires. The bigger the tyre, the bigger the revolution and the faster the speed of the vehicle. Also, thicker tires will have more traction in order to handle higher speeds more effectively (and keep you safe). You can get tires at any golf cart store or even online.
Also make sure that your tires are properly inflated. Bad inflation reduces its speed just like normal vehicles.
If you install a higher RPM high-speed electric motor, it will also help the car go a little faster along the way.
You can either adjust the governor or remove it completely. The governor limits the maximum speed that the golf cart can reach. In terms of security, they are mostly installed in carts.
If you replace the existing gear set with a lower ratio gear set, it will also improve the overall speed of the vehicle. The standard gear setting on a roadster is usually 12.5:1, giving a top speed of 14 to 15 miles per hour. But an 8:1 gear set will increase the speed to about 20 mph.
If you have an electric golf cart, making it go faster involves a few different techniques and may prove a bit more difficult.
To increase the speed on your electric kart, you’ll want to get a new battery—one that will maximize the motor’s output. Most electric golf carts are already built to work with a wide range of batteries, so maximizing output shouldn’t be a problem.
If you can’t find a new battery, you can also get a new electric engine. This may be the only way to get a speed boost if you find that you are already using the highest possible voltage.
Like traditional golf carts, you can also upgrade the gear system on electric carts to make them go faster. Electric cars typically have an 8:1 gear ratio. By switching it to 12:1, you’ll be speeding up. However, keep in mind that as you improve the speed of the cart, you can include its ability to pull heavy objects.
Many customized vehicles can do all this for you, although at a high cost. But with a little know-how and timing, you can get your golf cart from green to green faster (safer, of course).
