October 16, 2009, Newsletter Issue #285: Reviewing the Golf Gear

Tip of the Week

If you don't think your golf car is going fast enough, take the time to review the gear setup. You may want to have it changed. Golf car gear has changed dramatically in the past few years.
If you have a stock gear ratio of 12.5:1, your top speed is only 12.857 miles per hour. The new, higher speed gear sets promise a much higher mph. For instance, with an 8.0:1 gear ratio, your golf car can get up to 20.089 mph. The highest speed gear set now on the market has a ratio of 6.0:1, which will bring speeds of 26.786 mph. Those who sell the new high-speed gear sets do so with a caution: golf cars have a fixed gear in a non-shiftable transmission. Torque and the terrain you'll be traveling on should also be considered. Get some help in choosing the gear that will best suit your needs.
