Does anyone know this Chinese cart

[jeffrow004]

Hi I got this cart for really cheap. They said the batteries are new. It turns on but the lights don’t go on, it won’t go in forward or reverse and I don’t hear a clicking sound when I press the gas. The radio and the glow lights don’t go on. I am going to have my mechanic friend look at it to see if he can trouble shoot. It’s a cart that was bought from danardis motor factory in Naples Florida. Would I be able to have someone put a navitas conversion kit on this cart if the controller is shot?

I know it’s a Chinese cart and here are some specs the website has that sells them.

DC motor and 20 mph speed, not bad for the price.
It has a curtis motor controller and trojan batteries, at least they didnt cheap out there.

Ask the company for their manual or wiring diagram, then start checking wires with a multimeter

I tried calling a few times and nobody picks up and nobody replies to the emails. I got the cart for a few hundred bucks. The people didn’t want deal with the head ache nor did they have time to use it. My mechanics are gonna take a look at it for me in a week. I figured it’s probably something stupid or I could put a new motor and controller for a few grand.

i figured out what the problem was. the people i got the cart from hadn't charged the cart in over a year so i had dead batteries and didn't realize the cart was not charging with the on board charger. i saw lights spinning so i thought it was charging. i had to individually charge each battery for 30-60 minutes with a 12v charger until it got enough juice to be charged with its charger.now everything is charged up and the cart is working normal. now the next process is to figure out if i can get this curtis controller to go faster then 19mph by reprogramming it.

You need to hook a handheld up to it and see what controller it has. Should tell you what you can do with it.
