Not so fast. My Ez-Go does not slow down on hills. EZ-Go uses a DC motor as opposed to the AC motors of some other manufacturers. While following gas carts of the same speed as mine (21 1/2 mph) I slightly gain on the gas cart going up the hills and they pull away, slightly, down the hills. Just as you cannot categorize all gas carts as the same you cannot put all electric carts in the same category.
