93 g9 can it climb hills
Test drove a 93 G9 today with fresh batteries, seemed to run ok. I need it to climb a hill that is kind of steep, maybe a 25 to 30 degree incline for about 50 feet. Am I asking too much from this cart. There were not any hills on the owners property. The plan is to lift and put 20 inch tires on it. Is 1900 to much for this cart?

Re: 93 g9 can it climb hills
Big tires are not what you want to climb any hills. You lose lots of torque with larger tires so you need a cart with excess torque to do this.

So even with the stock 18 inch tires it may not work out. My ezgo 2 stroke does it with 22 inch tires but it is slow.

Re: 93 g9 can it climb hills
You would be able to do it with either but it will be a lot cheaper with a lot less modifications on a gas cart.

Re: 93 g9 can it climb hills
THE Yamaha guy is Don Plowman. https://www.plowmanscarts.com/parts_g_289.html This link gets you to his G-2-8-9 Performance upgrade page, but what you really want to do is call Don, tell him what you have and what type of performance you want to get....and he will tell you what you need to spend to get there!!
Don is a great guy to talk to and just knows Yam's. Also, you can ask Don about the price of $1,900 and he will give you the right response. Good luck! Edit: I'm not into gas carts, but his $599 performance package https://www.plowmanscarts.com/carts....1659456608&v=2 may be the way to go with your project. |

Re: 93 g9 can it climb hills
I own both a gas power g9 as well as an electric G8 which has the same exact drive train as an electric G9 and I can tell you the gas powered cart In stock form has far more power for climbing than an electric cart Of the same era or price range

Re: 93 g9 can it climb hills
The ezgo does well enough, I am just looking for something quiet for hunting purposes. i need the Yamaha to be able to climb that hill in stock form. Slow is fine as long as I can make it to the top. I have read several threads on this forum and still not sure if it will do what I need it to do. I may be wrong on how steep the hill is, may only be 20 degrees. I can get a running start at it, if that would help.

Re: 93 g9 can it climb hills
So the Yamaha is only 36 volts where many electric golf carts are 48 volts and will have more power in stock form When it's very cold out these carts have even less power because the batteries are struggling a bit

Re: 93 g9 can it climb hills
A newer cart with 48 volts would be the way to go, but those are out of my price range. I am willing to pay 1900 for the 36 volt if it will work, and I know I can upgrade to higher torque motor and higher amp controller, but that gets expensive.

I think if you look long enough you will find something in your price range with more power I only paid $700 for my 93 g8 with a g19 body on it. |
