High Speed & Torque Electric Golf Cart Motor for 36V EZGO or Yamaha Series Carts
Looking for a stronger all-around motor upgrade for your 36V EZGO or Yamaha golf cart? This high speed and torque electric golf cart motor, part number 170-013-0001, is built for compatible 36V EZGO or Yamaha Series carts using a 19-tooth female spline.
This motor is a good fit for customers who want more than a basic replacement motor. It is designed to deliver approximately 20% more torque and 20% more speed than a standard factory motor, giving your cart a better mix of acceleration, pulling power, and cruising speed.
Because this is a performance motor, it does require a compatible controller upgrade. The current listing specifically notes that an SR-500 controller upgrade is required.
This motor is best suited for:
- Compatible 36V EZGO Series carts
- Compatible 36V Yamaha Series carts
- Carts using a 19-tooth female spline motor
- Customers wanting both speed and torque improvement
- Neighborhood cruising and light utility use
- Stock or mildly upgraded carts with healthy batteries
- Builds already receiving a controller upgrade
This is not the best option for carts that are staying completely stock electrically, since this motor requires a controller upgrade.
Performance Expectations
This is a high speed and torque motor designed to improve both acceleration and cruising performance compared to stock.
Expected performance:
- Approximate top speed: 17–18 MPH
- Speed enhancement: Approx. 20%
- Torque enhancement: Approx. 20%
- HP: 8.5 HP
- Electrical rating from current listing: 36V / 275 amps
- Spline: 19-tooth female
- Spline pitch: 24/48
Actual performance can vary based on battery condition, controller setup, tire size, tire pressure, terrain, passenger weight, gear ratio, and overall cart condition. Standard factory speeds are usually lower, and performance specs are based on factory gear ratios with no trailer hitch present.
Designed for compatible:
- 36V EZGO electric golf carts
- 36V Yamaha electric golf carts
- Series motor applications
- Carts using a 19-tooth female spline
- Carts using a 24/48 spline pitch
Important Fitment Notes
This motor is application-specific. Before ordering, confirm your cart uses a compatible Series motor setup and the correct 19-tooth female spline.
This listing does not cover every EZGO or Yamaha electric cart. If you are unsure whether your cart is Series, Regen, PDS, DCS, or another electrical configuration, please confirm before ordering.

Before You Order
Golf cart motor compatibility depends on more than brand and voltage. Before ordering, please verify:
- Your cart is an EZGO or Yamaha
- Your cart is a 36V electric model
- Your cart uses a Series motor system
- Your cart uses a 19-tooth female spline
- Your cart uses the correct 24/48 spline pitch
- You are upgrading to a compatible SR-500 controller
- Your batteries, solenoid, wiring, and cables are in good working condition
If you are not sure which motor your cart needs, contact us before ordering. Photos of your motor tag, motor spline, controller area, battery setup, and serial number can help us confirm the correct motor for your cart.
Important Performance Notes
This motor is designed to provide both speed and torque improvement, but it should be treated as part of a matched performance setup. The current listing notes that an SR-500 controller upgrade is required, so this is not a simple stock-controller replacement motor.
For carts with oversized tires, steep hills, heavy rear seats, cargo boxes, or towing needs, contact us before ordering so we can help confirm whether this motor/controller setup is the best fit.
Shipping Note
Motors typically ship within 5–10 business days from the manufacturer.
Shipping times may vary based on manufacturer availability, production schedules, and order volume.
