Application — Golf Cart & Low-Speed Vehicle

Brushless Motor For Golf Cart And Low-Speed Vehicle Drive.

Golf carts and low-speed vehicles need a drive that is quiet on the course, efficient enough for all-day range and powerful enough to handle hills with a full passenger load. A brushless DC motor delivers all three: silent operation under 50 dB, 90%+ efficiency that extends battery range and flat torque delivery for smooth hill climbing. Shenghe builds BLDC motors and drive kits for golf carts, utility vehicles, resort transport and campus shuttles.

  • 48V / 72V battery system compatible
  • 1000W — 5000W rated power range
  • Regenerative braking extends range 10-15%
  • High torque geared for hill climbing
