Thanks for your help.
If you do not mind sharing, what are the specifics of the deal?

Where would you keep the cart?

You may be able to sell batteries.

40 MPH?...... hmmmmmm....sounds kool..............I mean, very bad.... exceeding 25 MPH is very dangerous and illegal.

Changing it back to 25 MPH depends how they got that speed. Controller setting? Motor? 72 volts?

I agree it likely makes most sense to wait, but....
