Obviously you have an electric cart. I've seen some with high speed motors and gearing changes that will fly on the level but have little torque and will nearly die on a hill. Gas carts will only loose about 1 mph on a hill. I've heard that electric carts that use an a/c motor are much better. I'd just call around to the cart dealers and see what they can do but I'm sure that's just the nature of the beast.
