Default 1995 Elec EZGO

I believe i have a series cart. the forward/reverse switch is by the left knee. Do i have the option to change the "chip" to a freedom?

kevincan, Welcome to BGW!

No, you cannot use the "chip" on your cart. Chips are only used on PDS style carts from 2000 and newer.

Increase the voltage to the stock motor
Higher RPM motor
Larger diameter tires
High speed gears in the differential

What is your plan for the cart? How will it be used?

Currently it is a 36 V cart run on 3-12 v batteries. I am using it to run around the neighborhood. I dont want to spend a ton. going up SLIGHT inclines it is very slow. i have been repainting the cart and recently put lights on it.

In order to get speed and hill climbing torque you MUST start with a proper set of batteries. Your current setup is not gonna work for ANY upgrades.

The guy i got the cart from just put the 3-12V batteries on the cart. It works great but i want more speed on flats and hills. Will replacing the batteries with 6-6 volts help that much? Seems like it would be the same.

Three 12v batteries will give 36 volts but, the cart consumes amperage not voltage.
The amps are stored on the lead plates in the batteries & you have less than 50% of the required amperage storage capacity with the 3/12s set up. Results may vary if you have 12v golf cart batteries? What make and type do you have?

A 95 series cart is slow and steady. Anything short of 48v and a bigger controller is not going to give you the noticeably quicker hill climbing ability you want in my opinion. This is what you would need to do:

In a series cart, up the voltage to 48v
Up size the cables (#4 or 2)
increase controller size (400-500 amp)
Upgrade the F&R switch
Put as big a tire as you like on it
This will get you 18-23 mph depending upon tire size
