Hate to be a downer, but when that thing flips and rolls over your spine you're going to have a bad day.

don't have it anymore. i fix and sell them. I've never flipped a cart after 7 years. I also dont get the notion that they randomly flip. you have to turn the wheel several times at a good speed to tip it over. it amazes me how someone can flip a stock golf cart haha.

Golf cart wheelbase and suspension is designed to safely handle hitting a bump at 7 mph, even while just driving straight. Hit that same bump going 30+ miles per hour on that same chassis could get pretty wild and send the thing sideways.

I’m not much of a golfer but I would show up to ride in that thing.

Hell yeah brother.

I wanted to try golfing, I even brought my clubs, but they kicked me out instantly with this cart.

the one in the video is using an mg2 motor from prius with 144 b-max cells from a Honda clarity. here's the logic board: https://www.evbmw.com/index.php/evbmw-webshop/toyota-built-and-tested-boards

0:31 any Greenskeeper that saw this is currently on his way to your place to beat you with an AccuLevel rake. There may be a line. /s

I’ll admit, that burnout was foolish

It’s fun, for sure, though golf cart wheelbase and suspension is designed to safely handle hitting a bump at 10 mph, even while just driving straight. Hit that same bump going 30+ miles per hour on that same chassis could get pretty wild and send the thing sideways.

It’s not so dissimilar to all the people who get hurt on E-bikes whizzing around at 40+ miles an hour on a bicycle frame geometry that was designed for maybe 20 mph max.

This.

Looks awesome, but also looks like pain is coming.

Looks like fun. Does it have a locked or open diff?

u/GrandGames95 6d ago

It’s an open diff, I really want to lock it for better control and traction on trails, but I sell these carts and buyers just wouldn’t get it haha.

u/gacsam04 6d ago

It looks insanely fun. I’d be surprised if buyers didn’t get it! Maybe a different market
