Regen VS Series Cart
5 Key differences (Use 3-5 to confirm your type)
1.If the golf cart has a Tow/Run or Run/Maintenance switch under the seat, it's a Regen (Regenerative Braking) cart. If not, it's a Series cart (except Club Car Regen I models).
See examples below (Fig. 1.1, Fig. 1.2 & Fig. 1.3).

3.What do the motor Field Coil Windings Look Like?
- Regen motors: Have "shunt" or "round wire" coils, typically with smaller wire (12AWG - 24AWG), and many turns (60–200+ per coil).
- Series motors: Have "flat wire" coils, with larger, rectangular wire and fewer turns (5–15 per coil).

4.If the motor has 2 smaller (1/4-20 UNC) and 2 larger (5/16-18 UNC) terminals, it's a Regen motor. If all 4 terminals are the same size (5/16-18 UNC), it's a Series motor.

All Motors
Disclaimer: Vehicle performance specs are compared to the standard factory performance. Several factors can effect the performance. Some are battery conditions; tire size, tread type and air pressure; and varying environmental conditions. Standard factory speeds normally run about 14 MPH!!! All vehicle speeds noted are calculated on flat ground. Adding Larger tires normally adds between 2-3 MPH. If you are unsure of how to use the above chart, please call (315) 701-0635. If you do not see the performance you require, please call. We often are capable of making non-standard motors through our engineering department.
