Most modern gas golf cars have 4-cycle engines, so I’m going to limit this analysis to recent golf cart models with 4-cycles and forego the 2-cycle engines for now. The average horsepower of a 4-cycle golf cart is 12.38 hp, ranging from a low of 11.5 hp on the new EZGO EX1 powered models, to a high of 14.0 hp on the Club Car Onward.

Standard golf car controllers deliver a maximum of 225-275 amps sufficient for golf car applications and flat ground use. If you wish to install a larger 3.5 or 5 hp motor, it's small size may cause overheating. You can upgrade the 225-275 controller without them overheating.
