hybrid
Has anyone tried building a gas powered hybrid? It would seem to be the a way to convert all the cheap battery dead carts into something useful without some of hack jobs I seem.Can it be done? I not educated enough in dc or ac electricity to know.

Re: hybrid
Could the generating system be put into a cart and stepped up to run the electric motor directly?

Re: hybrid
I was not aware of the ezgo and the charging trailer is a neat item.I guess more what I had in mind would be more like a diesel electric locomotive where you produce enough current to power the vehicle directly.Idealy something affordable like a clone powered generating system powering an electric golf cart motor.

Re: hybrid
You run out of room quickly which is why the EZGO doesn't have a bagwell due to components being there. And the EZGO is stupid expensive.
I have been thinking about this a lot though. Heres my idea: Our site sponsor, Imaginative makes a two speed axle for electric carts. It also happens to come with a forward facing output shaft just in case you ever wanted to upgrade to their 4X4 kit. Ive been trying to figure out a way to squeeze a small motor between the axle and the battery pack and connect it to the output shaft. ...If I could get it to fit it would work ...at least it does in my head. |

Re: hybrid
I was hoping someone with gas generator knowlege could devise a way to power a electric golf cart without the battery packs.I.had wondered if this already existed.Maybe it is just not possible.I just envisioned the generator powering directly to an electric motor making many more transaxles without reverse useable. Also the instant torque of an electric motor with fewer driveline issues.I guess it is not so simple or someone would have produced a kit.But I guess two years ago if you wanted a clone engine in your cart you had better have been a welder machinist.

I still stand by my Hybrid idea in my first post. Batteries run low, then switch to gas power. |

Re: hybrid
a/c gen and a a/c cart motor ?
is there a 110v or 220v a/c motor that will bolt up to a cart axle fitting ? but then all the controls and wires are needed also likely cost too much and to use batterys too needs a big powerful inverter also for more costs I looked to see if a cheap 36v d/c gen existed but can't find one I saw a 6hp a/c motor at a swap meet for $100 looked huge and heavy and needed 220v 3 phase or 440v a/c so no way to test if it worked |

Re: hybrid
Yup, a several AC motors (and complete conversion kits) already exist for golf carts. The full conversion runs around $3,000 & up
