Have You Ever Wondered Why Your Electric Golf Cart Goes Slow Uphill?
Your electric golf cart can struggle on inclines for a variety of reasons. Weak batteries, incorrect tires, and wear and tear to the motor are all potential causes of your cart’s slow speed.
Tire Size – The size of your cart tires is another factor that may be impacting your speed uphill. The larger your tires are, the more work your carts needs to do to get uphill.
Golf Cart Batteries – When it comes to challenges with your cart’s speed, they are more often than not caused by an unruly battery. Corrosion, age, or lack of routine maintenance can all lead to inefficient battery performance.
Speed Sensor – The speed still be lackluster after testing the batteries and tire size of your cart? It is advisable to check your speed sensor. The speed sensor transmits information to the speed controller, which dictates the limits of the cart. When this sensor is damaged, it may start to feed inaccurate data to the speed controller.
Brake Solenoid – When your brake solenoid overheats, it will pull all your power through the resistor spring, reducing the energy transmitted to your battery
Wires – Like the other parts of your cart, wires become damaged over time. This hampers the performance of the cart parts that these wires connect. Such as the speed sensor and brake solenoid.
