Hmmmm....
Primary drive is through "tourqe converter". Lowering final gear ratio will increase load on engine. I would think the "slightly" higher RPM (by adjusting govenor) at top speed would be "easier" on the engine. |

I have the 2022 Quiet Tech PTV. It has the "high speed gear" set. We have 10" wheels with 205/65-10 tires. These are 20 inch diameter and the cart goes 20mph. I am not a golfer and we use the cart for transportation only.
The Fleet carts are made for the golf course and top out at 13-15 mph. So when the OP is looking at the high speed gears it is certainly not going to make the cart a speed demon. An hey, if you want to spend you money on the gears, do it. Other folks here might choose to spend $500 on painting team murals on their cart. Or others may add speakers or a hard enclosure. It's your money do as you want. Last edited by bcsnave; 09-19-2023 at 09:30 AM. |

I've had this done on my fleet 2019 Yamaha. If you increase the governed speed and run it too long if will damage the governor. I got mine up too 19 mph but the rpm's were so high the rear end pressure relief hose was constantly leaking fluid. If you want the new gear installed dm me and I will send you the local guy I used. Good luck.

The "Fleet" carts don't have the "High Speed Gears" and are designed to only top out at abut 15 mph. Very few of them are sold in TV...

......... Golf carts have high centers of gravity (maybe not the E-carts) and when you increase their top speed you increase the likelihood of a rollover. They are designed to go SLOW on purpose. |

Yes, after a rollover when someone is hurt or knocked out, they will while unconscious, cut that zip tie. What a great plan (so devious) to be able to brag that they go 5 MPH faster than someone else. I think that I would use my time and brain cells in more productive activity. Go work at a charity.

I agree, but I would NOT waste my time doing either one. I would rather use my time fishing or doing something equally boring like playing golf.

Will there ever be a time that stating your opinion just once will be enough? Being a broken record isn't going to make people listen to you. It's just going to make them ignore you even more than they already do.
