How to tell what type motor my electric golf cart has?

To determine what type of motor your electric golf cart has, you can refer to the manufacturer's specifications or the owner's manual. The most common types of electric motors used in golf carts are DC (direct current) motors and AC (alternating current) motors. DC motors are simpler and more affordable, while AC motors are more efficient and offer better performance. Another way to identify the type of motor is by looking at the cart's voltage. Most electric golf carts operate on either a 36-Volt or 48-Volt system. If your golf cart has a 36-Volt system, it most likely has a DC motor, while a 48-Volt system indicates an AC motor. However, it's always best to consult the manufacturer's documentation for accurate information about your specific golf cart model.
