72V EZGO W/ High Speed Gears?
I'm looking to purchase a used 72V EZGO Express L6 (2020) that the owner reports to have had the dealer install high-speed gears (I assume 8:1..?). Reportedly this also disables the cart's ability to switch between turtle and rabbit mode that it had from the factory.
I've done a few searches around here that give me pause as to if this is a good idea or not. Any input would be appreciated..! |

Re: 72V EZGO W/ High Speed Gears?
Not sure why it would need high speed gears but sounds like someone turned up the controller with a handheld and possibly corrupted the controller. One of the signs is the rabbit turtle switch quits working. Where are you located?

The seller indicates the switch is no longer used due to the mod... Hmm.. He requested more speed from the dealer and this is what they proposed. |

Usga or Bob may jump in but pretty sure the 2020 L6 can be turned up correctly with the right procedure such that you wouldn’t need the gears and you would get to keep the switch.

Rabbit/Turtle switch not working IS NOT CONTROLLER CORRUPTION.
It happens when the handset is used to change the selected profile from the default one. You can restore the Rabbit/Turtle function by setting this value back to 0. |

Re: 72V EZGO W/ High Speed Gears?
I guess my primary question is - should I be avoiding this cart for any reason?
The owner reports speeds of 30mph. I was concerned that would come at some cost in terms of damage down the road... |

I appear to have found an answer to my question in a different thread by BobBoyce.

Re: 72V EZGO W/ High Speed Gears?
Quixin, how much is the cart? That is really the deciding factor, everything else can be fixed or swapped. BTW, with 8:1 gears and that driveline if you had the power (which you don't using factory Lead batteries and a stock controller) that cart is set up to potentially run over 80mph with those gears on 20" tires! I don't know why someone would do that. If it really does have a gear swap to get to 30, that was a total waste of $$. A reprogram by Bob for a couple hundred bucks or even a new Navitas for $800 would have been a much better investment.
However, if it is a good deal, you should still buy it. Last edited by luvdamud; 10-07-2021 at 03:24 PM.. Reason: spelling |
