Getting more torque on 2024 Icons

[B&JGolfCarts]

So I have my own golf cart business and have recently been working with a new Icon dealer to help with his carts. I was able to get the carts up to 28-30MPH on a level surface, but going up any slight grade the cart slows down to 18-22MPH has anyone found out which parameters to change to get more speed/torque going uphill?

You probably need to increase the speed range current limits. They are in the big tuning threads. There is lots of info in those threads that will help.

Thank you for the info; there’s a lot of helpful insight in the tuning threads. Haven’t figured it out yet, but I’m on page 18 so hopefully someone has some leads on how to get the speed up hills to not drop so drastically.

And the stock carts at 25 mph max, slow down to 10-14 mph or worse if battery below 80% (lead acid). Only real success I've heard is going to Lithium. If you figure it out I think we'd all appreciate your sharing.

This is with AGM batteries; I’ll be tuning a lithium here soon though so I’m interested to see how that goes. I’ll give an update though if I figure anything out.
