'93 marathon..... Questions

[Left Coast Kiteboarding]

Hey guys, I have a gasser and know little about electric carts but there is one locally for sale for $200. It's in decent shape and already has lights and a flip seat kit. It has NO batteries or charger. It is a '93.

So.....

Batteries: $500-800?
Charger: $400?

Am I close? Also, is this a series cart or newer regen system?

Seems like it could have it on the road for about $1500 as long as nothing else is wrong with it.


Thanks for any help!!

as far as the price of the batteries, you are in the ballpark. for the charger, you can get a great brand new DPI charger from ScottyB for $285

as far as what kind, series or sepex, you tell us.....does it have a RUN/TOW switch on the controller cover? or not........

where is the F/R switch, is it on the dash, or by our knee?

Best I can tell from the photos it has the f/r lever by your legs. Haven't seen it in person yet. Does that help?

Sorry for the lack of info. Just trying to learn what I can before driving out to see it.

regen system is in club cars

2 types of carts for 93
Resistor Speed Control
Curtis 1204 Electronic Motor Speed Controller
more than likely 36v

Thanks CTD,

which version would be better for future upgrades? Any advantages/disadvantages?

Seems like at $200 for a nice clean body I can't go to far wrong.

you can upgrade controller and go to 48v battery pack

one good thing is the motor works with 48 volts ..if you do go the 48v upgrade you need a hd f/r controller and upgrade the cables to 2 gauge for better performance
