A great was of getting new life out of an old electric golf cart for little cost. This is how i removed the batteries and converted it to gas power.

Dude!!! Gutting the motor is the smartest and cheapest thing!!! Great idea

That's a cool idea my brother has a couple of carts that don't work. You have encouraged me to do the same.

Love how you did this. Kept it simple. Great!

This video was 9 years ago. I like how you made it work, very simply. Doesn’t look like “rocket science”. Do you still have it? How’s it holding up? Any update videos you could make ? Thanks in advance.

I’m building a golf cart and man you just solved a huge problem for me

[windoesse]

nice conversion, i never thought about that type of setup, my issue was finding a way attach a sprocket to the gear box

On the rear "axle" - you just took electric motor out of the way and put a sprocket pulley on it or a centrifical clutch sprocket? What size did you put on .... was it difficult? thanks so much ! GD Tractor

How did you get the sprocket on the motor shaft?

HOW DID YOU GET THE ROTOR OF THE SHAFT OR DID YOU MAKE A NEW SHAFT?

Nice . I just build one today with old 160 honda gc and older easy go . But im motor was on a differet way . The diff was like one a car where it ponits froward . I gear it 12t on the clutch and 10t on the diff shatf and it only 16 mph and very slow take off 😂😂. I think it need 9 hp or more instead of a 5 hp

What rear sprocket did you use can you send me a link to purchase one?

[REDNIC]

i pressed the shaft out of the rotor...it was very tight.... then i gutted the rest of the motor (brushes / coils etc)

Was curious to how you got just the shaft out of the motor. Im trying to put a 200cc dirtbik engine in my golfcart but have no place to mount the sprocket.

2:02....is that a 49’ Dodge? Love those old trucks!!

I have a old golfcart I need a motor controller electric of corse, do think I can acquire one from you?

How did you strip the armature to a bare shaft to get a sprocket over it I'm going to be going your way

[jaybourbon]

Okan I've been looking into doing this. I have a few questions. First. The rear differential. So that twists and goes up and down with the suspension. How do you keep the chain from falling off with having the engine mounted to the frame? I saw some guys box in the rear diff and run a plate off of it for the engine that does not connect to the frame. But that looks like a bitch.
Secondly. How did you get the wire and shit off of the motor to get the gear on that shaft? Or is that a different shaft you ran in the electric motor housing? I need to know you did this. Love the idea.

hey man, I'm working on my cart and I'm wondering how that shaft comes out of all the brushes? did you press it out or cut it out or what? thanks.

[Taylormade_Detailing]

so I should have read tour comments first, great idea I'm doing the same set up now, I've been trying to cut all the stuff off the shaft ha, and I have press right behind me, I will try that tomorrow, how did u push it all the way out??? like a big bolt or steel rod or something???
