In Control: How to Choose the Best Golf Cart Controller for Your Needs
  By: Michael Dieroff
Filed Under: Golf Cart - controller

Are you looking to enhance your golf cart's performance? For that, you need to focus on the controller. The right golf cart controller can significantly impact speed, acceleration, and overall efficiency. Here, we'll navigate through the key factors to consider when selecting the best golf cart controller for your needs. 

1. Voltage Compatibility: Powering Up Your Drive

The first step in choosing a golf cart controller is ensuring it is compatible with your cart's voltage. Golf carts typically run on 36, 48, or 72 volts. Selecting a controller that matches your cart's voltage is essential for optimal performance and prevents potential electrical issues.

2. Amp Output: Unleashing the Power

Amp output is a critical factor influencing the speed and torque of your golf cart. Higher amp output generally results in increased power, allowing for a faster and more robust ride. Consider your specific needs – whether it's navigating hilly terrains or achieving higher speeds – and choose the amp output accordingly.

3. Programming Capabilities: Customizing Your Ride

Adjustable parameters such as acceleration, speed, and braking allow you to fine-tune your ride to match your preferences. This feature is especially beneficial for those who want a personalized driving experience.

4. Regenerative Braking: Energy Efficiency in Every Stop

Regenerative braking technology is a game-changer for energy-conscious golfers. It harnesses energy during braking, converting it back into power for the batteries. Not only does it contribute to a more energy-efficient ride, but it also extends the lifespan of your batteries.

5. Compatibility with Motor Type: A Seamless Integration

Ensure that the controller you choose is compatible with your golf cart's motor type. Whether your cart is equipped with a series-wound or a separately excited motor, selecting a controller that seamlessly integrates with your existing setup is crucial for optimal performance.

6. Thermal Protection: Keeping Your Cool

controller for golf carts with thermal protection prevents overheating, ensuring consistent performance even during extended use or hot weather. It safeguards your controller and prolongs its lifespan, providing a reliable and durable solution.

7. Brand Reputation: Trustworthy Performance

When investing in a golf cart controller, consider the reputation of the brand. Opt for well-established brands known for producing reliable and durable controllers. Reading reviews and seeking recommendations from fellow golf cart enthusiasts can provide valuable insights into the performance and longevity of different controllers.

8. Installation Complexity: Seamless Upgrades

Choose a controller that aligns with your DIY skills or the expertise of your chosen mechanic. Some controllers are designed for easy installation, while others may require professional assistance. Assess your comfort level with installation processes to ensure a seamless upgrade without unexpected complications.

9. Budget Considerations: Finding the Sweet Spot

While it's tempting to aim for the most feature-rich controller, it's essential to consider your budget. Determine the features that are non-negotiable for your needs and find a controller that strikes the right balance between performance and cost. Many reliable controllers offer excellent performance without breaking the bank.

10. Warranty Coverage: Protection for Peace of Mind

A solid warranty reflects the manufacturer's confidence in their product. It also provides you with peace of mind, knowing that you are protected against potential defects or issues that may arise after the purchase.

City starts talking Golf Carts with Alltrax Speed Controller
  By: BRAD BUCK
Filed Under: Golf Cart - controller
   

Dennis Smith says he'd drive his golf cart with alltrax speed controller to Wildwood if there was something there he needed. Once you put a golf cart speed controller in, it amazing the enhanced performance you can receive.

For example, said the 67-year-old retired Villages resident, if there was a hardware store, or if passenger trains returned to the train station along U.S. Highway 301 in town, he'd go to Wildwood.

Another incentive to drive to Wildwood would be if there were charging stations for electric-powered vehicles with a high performance golf cart speed controller, such as the one he drives, Smith said.

People who love to drive around in their high performance car golf cart with alltrax speed controller may get to do so in Wildwood.

 

But the idea is just that -- a concept that city officials are just starting to talk about.(Alltrax) The city of Wildwood recently adopted and received state approval for its 2035 Comprehensive Plan, said City Manager Robert Smith. Included in that plan is a portion that says the city needs to plan for and promote lots of different ways to get around town and try to reduce motor vehicle travel.

At their Jan. 10 meeting, city commissioners told staff to look into ways of making Wildwood more golf cart-friendly, Smith said. (Alltrax)

With places like The Villages and other big residential and commercial developments close by, Wildwood asked Sumter County for help on the golf cart idea, he said.

First thing's first, though. City staff must assess the following:

-- Which city roads can accommodate carts with golf cart speed controller (s)?

-- Would the future demographics of the city support golf carts with an alltrax high performance golf cart speed controller as a means of transportation?

-- Safety. Dennis Smith, the retired golfer in The Villages, says this is really the key. "Everybody should be concerned about their safety," he said.

-- If pathways are needed, how would they be constructed and how much would they cost?

-- How would this affect future development?

-- What developments would support access for golf carts with alltrax high performance golf cart speed controller (s)?

-- What are the requirements for street legal carts?

 

 

After an initial assessment, if the commission chooses, the city would look to hire a transportation engineer to do a formal study.

Herman Schultz, manager of Tomlin USA, a golf cart vendor on U.S. Highway 301 just outside Wildwood, that uses many a alltrax speed controller, said if he were a Wildwood city official, he'd mostly be concerned for the safety of the golf carts and their operators. For example, The Villages has many paths designated for golf carts with alltrax high performance golf cart speed controller (s), and Wildwood should consider building the same types of paths, Schultz said. "You have to have a designated path," he said.

Wherever the city of Wildwood looks for advice on golf carts, one place to start might the town of Lady Lake. In 1989, the notion first came up for people to get around Lady Lake's portion of The Villages, said police Chief Ed Nathanson.

For years, the Lady Lake portion of The Villages has allowed golf carts. A few subdivisions in Lady Lake that are not part of The Villages also allow golf cart drivers golf carts with an alltrax high performance alltrax speed controller, Nathanson said.

In Lady Lake, people can drive golf carts 24/7, but to drive at night, they need headlights and brake lights, and preferably, some sort of reflectors, Nathanson said. Its also preferrable if they have a golf cart with an alltrax high performance golf cart speed controller and D&D Motor System electric motor.

Lady Lake has experienced very few major problems with golf cart drivers sharing roads with other motorists, the chief said. In about 20 years, Nathanson said he's worked one fatal accident involving a golf cart driver.

The town regularly conducts courses on how golf cart operators with a alltrax high performance golf cart speed controller (s) can drive safely with other motorists. "As long as people make safe choices," they'll be OK, Nathanson said.

Golf Carts: Hardly Just for the Golf Course Anymore
  By: Brad Tuttle
Filed Under: Golf Cart - controller

A new vehicle costs around $5,000, and a used model with a golf cart speed controller runs much less. They get decent gas mileage, and sometimes require no gas at all, with electric models with a golf cart speed controller good for around 20 miles per charge. They’re also increasingly OK to operate on town roads around the country. Maybe the perfect car for you isn’t a car at all, but a golf cart with an alltrax speed controller.

Look around the country—especially in areas with sizeable retiree populations—and there’s a good chance you’ll find a cart with a golf cart speed controller far away from the links. There is a town in Minnesota that over the summer OK’d carts with an alltrax speed controller (ATVs too) to be driven on streets, and proposals in small cities in Texas would allow carts with a golf cart electric controller on popular hike and bike trails and elsewhere within town borders.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that vendors such as M&M Golf Cars (yes, it’s cars, not carts) now sell a large percentage of their vehicles for non-golf course purposes. M&M, the largest golf cart dealership in Missouri, sells 40% of its inventory for usage somewhere other than the golf course. Roughly 85% of resold golf carts wind up used away from golf courses with a golf cart electric controller. Golf carts can be seen cruising around at campgrounds, car dealerships, seminaries, retirement communities, college campuses, and more with a golf cart speed controller. Because they’re quiet to operate, and can be customized with pop-up tents and camouflage paint, golf carts with a high performancealltrax speed controller are now being used by hunters as well.

(MORE: Video: Your Next Car Could Be a Golf Cart)

Florida, with its abundance of golf courses and retirement communities, may have the most golf carts with a high performance golf cart speed controller. per capita in the nation. A Orlando Sentinel story notes the spread of golf carts with a alltrax speed controller not just in residential villages, but on roads throughout the state, as more and more towns allow it:

“Every community is different,” said Florida Highway Patrol spokesperson Kim Montes. “It does get confusing. We typically don’t get involved in the municipalities.”

But troopers will stop golf-cart drivers with a high performance golf cart electric controller for violations such as driving on the sidewalk or driving under the influence. Drivers must obey all state and local traffic laws, she said.

Montes warned that a vehicle with a golf cart speed controller  is “not a toy.” But that’s not how many golf cart electric controller drivers view them. “This is a toy of the Baby Boomer generation,” Robert Edwards, the National Golf Cart Association’s executive director, told the Arizona Republic, which was prompted to do a story in 2011 after an 85-year-old man was killed behind the wheel of his cart when it collided with an SUV.

More often, injuries occur due to drivers turning too quickly—even 10 mph is too fast for a sharp turn—which can cause carts with a golf cart speed controller to flip or drivers or passengers to fly out of the vehicle. The association has posted tons of golf cart accident videos that have an alltrax speed controller to demonstrate how not to operate their “toy” carts.

“Toy” or not, driving a cart with a high performance golf cart speed controller drunk can land you in serious trouble. In one notable incident last summer, Mick Brown, the drummer for Ted Nugent’s band—and a 55-year-old member of the Boomer generation—was arrested for driving a cart  with a high performance golf cart speed controller while under the influence of alcohol. Brown allegedly stole the cart with a high performance golf cart speed controller after a concert and took a couple of women for a ride around the venue, speeding recklessly on a foot path past police officers. (Note: It is also illegal to steal a golf cart.)  MSD

Golf carts no longer just for golf
  By: Steve Giegerich
Filed Under: Golf Cart - controller

CLAYTON • An electric epiphany shot through Concordia Seminary when the Lutheran theological institute recently replaced much of its aging fleet of maintenance vehicles.

Dealers specializing in small, gas-powered utility trucks once could have counted on the seminary’s business. This time, Concordia headed for the Kirkwood showroom of VIP Golf Carts. (alltrax)

There, for less than the price of a single new gas-powered vehicle, the seminary purchased five used electric carts with golf cart speed controller to transport visitors, security officers, housekeeping and maintenance workers around campus.

“As a seminary ... we want to be good stewards of natural resources,” explained Steve Mudd, director of facilities. “It’s not only good thing to do as a citizen, it is also is good in terms of upholding the seminary’s Lutheran beliefs.”

Industry officials say the golf carts whirring around Concordia epitomize the evolution from a conveyance for duffers on fairways to vehicles increasingly purchased for utilitarian and transportation purposes with a golf cart speed controller. (alltrax)

“Nobody thought about selling golf cars for non-golf use when I started” 25 years ago, said Neal Smith, president of Little Egypt Golf Cars in Salem, Ill.

Now, non-golf purchases to individuals and businesses that wouldn’t know a seven iron from a triple bogey account for nearly half of the business at Smith’s three dealerships in Illinois and Missouri, including Gateway Golf Cars in St. Louis.

“You really have a lot of people using them on their own to just pick up the trash or to use while gardening,” said Smith. “They feel safe driving them. And they want something that the dog can sit on or the grandkids can sit in or even drive.” And now with the alltrax golf cart speed controller and D&D Motor Systems high performance electric golf car motors, the sky is the limit with regards to performance.

Advocates for fuel-efficient transportation don’t track golf cart sales. Nor, for that matter, does the organization representing the industry’s manufacturers, the International Light Transportation Vehicle Association. But dealers say the golf cart business with a golf cart speed controller is booming.

As recently as ten years ago, golf courses and country clubs were still the primary customers for M&M Golf Cars, the state’s largest dealership with outlets in Mexico, Lee’s Summit and O’Fallon, Mo.

Today, about 40 percent of the 5,000 vehicles M&M moves on an annual basis are purchased for non-golf purposes, said company president Chris Miller.

On the fleet side, large campgrounds, apartment complexes, car dealerships, business parks and college campuses have stepped into the breach when financially strapped golf courses and country clubs curtailed purchases of electric carts with a golf cart speed controller during the recession.

Though sales to homeowners lag behind the fleet market, dealers are seeing an uptick in purchases by outdoor enthusiasts who’ve discovered the value of a relatively quiet mode of transportation — now available with camouflage paint jobs and with a upgraded golf cart speed controller (alltrax) and electric D&D Motor Systems motor, the performance is there.

Hunters like them because they can drive into the woods undetected by deer and other prey, said Miller, with just the addition of a golf cart speed controller. (alltrax)

VIP Golf Carts sales manager Dave Wojciechowski sees Neighborhood Electric Vehicle purchases growing exponentially in the event Missouri lawmakers enact legislation governing use of low-speed transportation on public byways.

Illinois has a law on the books allowing slow vehicles on roads with a posted speed limit of 30 mph. or less; Missouri has yet to adopt a definitive statewide statute guiding use of golf cars with a golf cart speed controller on public thoroughfares. (Some Missouri municipalities have, however, addressed the issue.)

But as anyone who ventures into Soulard, Lafayette Square or area retirement communities may have noticed, the absence of definitive ordinances has not slowed sales to residents in those neighborhoods.

“Until the state comes out and says where you can and can’t drive them, people will keep on doing it,” said Wojciechowski.

A versatile frame that can convert rear seats into cargo capacity and the sticker price — typically $5,000 to $12,000 for a new vehicle — is a big draw for purchasing departments seeking low-maintenance alternatives for building and grounds departments. This often includes the the high performance golf cart speed controller (alltrax) and electric motor.

“They certainly fit the bill at half the price of a pickup truck,” said Dave Hurst, an analyst with Pike Research, a Colorado-based consultant specializing in alternative energy.

And switching to electric saved Concordia a carload of money. The sticker price for the gas-powered vehicles purchased in the past runs from $18,000-$22,000 new and about $15,000 used. The cost of the used electric vehicles the seminary bought off the VIP lot: $3,500 each. Put a little cash into an alltrax speed controller and D&D Motor Systems electric golf cart motor and performance is no longer an issue.

And that doesn’t even take into account how much the seminary figures to save by using vehicles powered by electricity as opposed to a fossil fuel — a consideration the industry believes will ultimately drive most corporate or institutional decisions to move to electric or hybrid.

“Fleet operators love electric because they live and die on the cost of fuel per mile,” said Brian Wynne, the president of the Electric Drive Transportation Association in suburban Washington.

Ken Wambold, the national sales manager for Wheego Electric Cars, based in Atlanta, said the addition of public solar-powered charging stations and technology that extends the golf car battery capacity to about 100 miles would attract even more buyers to low-speed transportation.

“It will relieve a lot of people from what’s called ‘range anxiety,’ ” Wambold said.

Ultimately, though, it’s the escalating cost of oil that inserts golf carts into the category of growth industries.

“Every time gas spikes, we have a spike in sales of carts for non-golf use,” said Miller. “I will assume that sales will continue to climb, because I don’t see the price of gasoline coming down.”   (alltrax)  MSD
