Specification — 72V Geared

72V BLDC Gear Motor For Golf Carts, Heavy EVs And Utility Vehicles.

72V is the workhorse voltage for golf carts, neighborhood electric vehicles and utility haulers. At this voltage level, motors in the 400W–2000W range draw moderate current that standard automotive wiring and contactors handle comfortably. A planetary gear reducer multiplies torque for loaded hill starts and low-speed maneuvering. Shenghe manufactures 72V BLDC gear motors from 200W to 2000W with planetary gearbox options for drop-in and custom installations.

  • Rated voltage 72V DC (60V–84V operating range)
  • 200W to 2000W rated power
  • Planetary gearbox ratios 3:1 – 50:1
  • Regenerative braking capable
Why 72V Geared BLDC

Benefits Of 72V BLDC Gear Motors

  • Standard platform for golf carts — compatible with 6x12V battery strings
  • Supports lithium upgrade (20S Li-ion) for 60% weight reduction
  • Lower current at high power — 2kW draws only ~30A at 72V
  • Planetary gear provides high torque for loaded hill starts
  • Regenerative braking extends range and reduces brake wear
  • Drop-in replacements available for common golf cart motor bays
