Yeah I know, some of you are laughing right now.....but you would be amazed. Robbie currently holds the Guinness World Record for the Fastest Electric Golf Cart in the 1/4 mile at 12.241 sec. and 118.76 mph. They set that last fall at the Darlington Dragway, SC. you can see the run on you tube if you want...... just put in "PQ Golf Cart sets World Speed Record @ 118.76 mph" and that's it.

ANYWAY.... he started building himself a new cart.....and has his sights set on a new record and 130 mph. The lithium battery pack is rated at 600 battery HP, full charge is 346 volts and 2,000 amps (a regular stock cart is either 36v or 48v tops with an amp draw between 275 to 300 amps MAX)......however, he only runs a max voltage of 180 volts and only uses 1,800 amps. I can't wait to see the videos of it run!

Get a load of the "OH SH*T handle" for the potential passenger!! LOL and YES it will have a qualified 5 point harness.

That should be good for about 400 HP. OMG!
