Been working on this and when it comes to electrics I am lost
I need more speed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It has 1 12 volt battery in it , will 2 make it faster ????

It's cool for sure....
but I'm betting its designed to be slow for safety reasons...how fast does it move..?
I assume you have a good hot battery in it...I may be wrong but I dont think doubling the battery will make it go faster....
Member Andy4639 fools around with custom golf carts..he may could give you a good answer..

I'm not a fast runner and I'm sure I could pass it
The battery is fully charged

You need to get board member Andy4639 involved in this. Its right up his alley. He's a super nice fella and I'm sure would love to give you some tips.

There isn't any real way to make it faster other than adding another battery in series. Which would mean it would be 24 volts instead of 12 volts. Which means your charger want charge it also. You would have to get either a 24 v charger are use 2 12 v chargers. If you add another battery in parallel it will only run longer but not faster. I assume it has resister coils setup. If so you can add the 12 volt in series and it should about double the speed but how long it last is any bodies guess per the coils getting twice as hot.
You don't have a bunch of room either for the battery. Those things where made to carry real heavy loads and not for speed. Which I'm sure you already know this. Some pictures of the wiring would be nice it a pretty straight forward design though.
You may could put a little bigger tire on it but then it would take away some of the torque. I don't think it would speed it up that much though on 12 volts. You could possibly take the motor out and see if you can get it rebuilt by Plum Quick Robby & Matt to help it out some. Are Vic Dejohn D&D motors.

I took this cart which is a resistor cart 36 volts and made it 48 volts. Added the bigger rear wheels and a high speed motor. It runs 35MPH now.

I'm going to get another picture of the wiring so you can see if I can add another 12 volt battery in series .

You can add the battery as long as you have room for it. The solenoid would have to be redone to a 24 volt one are wired to just 1 of the batteries though. You may could wire to both but it will burn it out sooner or later. Here is a 24 volt 100amp continus. The motor will be fine but I'd call one of the company's I stated earlier to see if they can build you a high speed motor.

Some more pictures of what the setup is

That looks like a car battery in there. I would see if you could fit a 12 volt golf cart battery in the same spot and if so put 2 of them in it. Upgrade that solenoid to a 24 volt unit and see how it does.

Yes it is a car battery
I will try what you said
Thank you very much sir

No matter what you do it's not going to be no speed demon. 24 volts is not a lot.

Remember,
More voltage in series = more speed! More voltage = less amps it takes to spin the motor at a given speed.
More voltage in parallel = more run time only. Electric vehicles are best when ran wide open. There should be some coils in that wiring some place. The coils eat up the battery power to run at slow speed then they are bypassed at wide open. Good luck with it sir. If I can help you anymore just PM me.
