Ride Quality After Lithium Upgrade?
What happens to the ride quality after losing the weight of the lead acid batteries? '05 G22, 3" RHOX lift and 22's...

Re: Ride Quality After Lithium Upgrade?
Does ride firmer. Not much you can do but maybe lower air pressure.Since carts dont ride well anyway I dont find it a problem.

Re: Ride Quality After Lithium Upgrade?
What about handling qualities? Does it get squirrely with the loss of weight?

Re: Ride Quality After Lithium Upgrade?
I know on my DS with the loss of weight it just got harsh. So hit a bump and no longer was floaty but more of a harsh jarring feeling.
I solved the issue by buying and putting more tools on the back of it. |

Re: Ride Quality After Lithium Upgrade?
On my EZ-GO Txt the rear suspension is leaf spring. Is your's coil over shock? I had a HD leaf spring when I ran LA's. Each leaf had 4 total springs.
The ride was harsh when swapping to Lithium so I removed two leaf's from each side. That made it much better. I would assume if you have coil over shocks, you need to look at a lighter spring or a different shock for your carts weight. |

If you have a way to soften the springs, it will improve the ride. My Yamaha carts were harsh after losing 300 lbs but they handled fine and stopped much better. I changed out the rear coil over shocks to ones for a gas powered cart. (which is about 300 lbs lighter)

Re: Ride Quality After Lithium Upgrade?
Stay away from Low Profile tires. I found that out the hard way. Way too firm. Yamaha carts tend to ride pretty harsh stock.
