Are they better than conventional motors?
A. In this application yes, both more efficient and more reliable. Q. Are Hub Motors better on steep uphill and down hills? A. Here’s a quote from a competitors FAQ: “On steep uphill slopes we recommend that you use manual operation. However, you may like to try either zigzagging up the hill or directing the cart to a lesser gradient.” CaddyBug carts have enough power to drive straight up the steepest slope that you’ll find on a golf course. And going downhill this competitor states: “On steep slopes downhill ensure that you keep full control of the cart. In the most difficult of conditions it is best to hold the handle and walk it down in manual mode.” CaddyBug carts will maintain it’s set speed and will brake the cart going downhill.
