Re: What happens if you flip the F/R switch while going full speed?
I think the op question was what if it accidentally happened. It’s a rocker switch right in the center of the dash, seems like it could easily be bumped or passenger could switch it not knowing.

I think a sudden demand for a big pile of amps is going to burn up something along the way. And that or those somethings will be costly to replace. Kind of like taking a 1968 Ford Falcon and while driving down the highway at 60mph, you decide to toss it in reverse. The effect wouldn't be as dramatic as the sudden jolt on a cart, but it's just not gonna be good on the transmission. Ask me how I know this. |

Re: What happens if you flip the F/R switch while going full speed?
I'm thinking maybe the cart coasts to a stop... I could be wrong but I have lots of carts... and well here - hold my beer.
I was wrong. Don't try this at home 5 mph cart tried hard back up and skidded to a stop in the gravel. My Rep tells me if no regen is programmed the cart should coast to a stop. |

Re: What happens if you flip the F/R switch while going full speed?
This go-peddle all the way off thing may apply to some brands of carts, but my EZ-GO is not the case.
I "installed" the switch cover as I had one of my grandkids bump the switch to R as we were going forward. Fortunately, I let off the peddle (as the cart was being jolted to a stop) and coasted. To get access to the switch, you have to manipulate your fingers under the rubber. It's not difficult, but prevents accidental switches. I considered "flipping" the switch upside down, but the switch is still uncovered and with little kids that move around, anything can happen. I'll post a pic of my cover when I get a chance. |

Re: What happens if you flip the F/R switch while going full speed?
in reading the Toyota Neos controller manual, there is logic that tells the controller to ignore the forward/reverse switch change if the motor rpm is greater than 50.
