[QUOTE=Jim Straz;452623]Your suggestion to not have an electric golf cart as a 'primary' is without merit. There are many websites ( Trojan ), and EZ-GO who have a battery training lesson on how to break in properly and maintain batteries. It's very simple once you understand how it's done. Getting 50+ miles in one day is no longer an issue with the new 6x8 and 8x6 configurations.
Your question about getting your cart to go 20mph on a hill can only be achieved with an ac motor. You can find a mechanic that will change your current motor to do 25 to get your net 21 on a steep hill, but it'll kill your motor within six months. If you're in an accident and your cart is drive-able, it will be test driven by the insurance adjuster and if it exceeds 21mph your insurance is voided. Anyone that tells you differently is not aware of the facts. Hope that helps you.[/QUOTE
So let me get this straight you believe that 50 + miles on one charge is no longer an issue. You also believe that if a golf cart can travel faster than 20mph an insurance company will deny your claim.
In the first instance you never mention variables such as cold weather, carring weight, etc. which have a direct affect.
In the seond instance you do not elaborate on specifics. Whom do you know that has been denied insurance coverage on their carts and for what reason(s)? And can the name the insurance company? Suppose Cart A can go 25 mph. and suppose Cart A is stopped or parked. Now suppose Cart B plows into stopped/parked Cart A. Suppose that Cart A doesn't want to wait for Cart B's insurance company to pay this claim . Are you saying that Cart A's insurance company will not pay his collision claim because the owner of Cart A's cart can go 25mph? Further suppose Cart A has no collision coverage, are you then saying that Cart B's insurance company can deny Cart A liability claim because Cart A can go 25mph? I suspect there are some situations wherein an insurance company can deny coverage but I also suspect that the reason(s) for denying coverage have to be material and relevant to the loss or claim. There are other issues here but to what avil.............
I opine you decide....and if you have specifics please reply. I don't want names but actual circimstances dates, etc of such insurance denials. If you can provide this information then I'll take the time now to apologize and will again apologize when said info is returned. Ijust want the record straight for posters reading this thread.
