36 reviews for Navitas AC Golf Cart Motor (4kW • 5kW • 7.5kW) – Efficient & High-Torque

  1. Keith S.

    I upgraded my Club Car with the 5 kW Navitas AC motor and the difference is night and day. Torque is incredible even on inclines, and the parking brake is a game-changer for trail rides. The 19 spline fitment was precise. No controller issues, ran smoothly right out of the box. Highly recommend for anyone needing serious performance.

  2. Rob V.

    Honestly blown away by how efficient this motor is. I’m using the 4 kW with a 10T spline in my custom Yamaha build. Acceleration is buttery smooth, and the regen braking is incredibly strong. Integrated parking brake is reliable even on steep grades. Navitas nailed it.

  3. Tony L.

    Ordered the 3 kW for a neighborhood cruiser and it’s surprisingly zippy. Not built for high-speed, but perfect for low-speed torque and quiet operation. Parking brake works well and doesn’t drift at all. Would give 5 stars if it came with better installation docs, but still a solid choice.

  4. Steve T.

    The motor itself is great but shipping took too long. Still, worth the wait for the power gains.

  5. Paul R.

    Used the 4 kW motor with a Navitas controller—runs cool even during long rides. Install was easy but wish it came with torque specs.

  6. Valma S.

    Replaced my stock Club Car motor with the 5 kW version. Noticeable power and zero lag. Parking brake is strong and reliable.

  7. Tansy R.

    10T spline matched perfectly with my Yamaha drivetrain. A bit heavy but feels built to last. Great acceleration with no noise.

  8. Carl M.

    I paired this motor with a Navitas 600A controller and the performance blew past my expectations. I went with the 5 kW, 19T version and it’s powering my hunting buggy like a beast. Tons of torque in the woods, and battery consumption stayed impressively low. Also love how cool the motor stays even on long runs.

  9. Tom D.

    Ordered the 3 kW for a neighborhood cruiser and it’s surprisingly zippy. Not built for high-speed, but perfect for low-speed torque and quiet operation. Parking brake works well and doesn’t drift at all. Would give 5 stars if it came with better installation docs, but still a solid

  10. Ryan G.

    I upgraded my 2015 EZGO RXV with the 7.5 kW 19T motor and the boost in torque and speed is unreal. This Navitas AC motor delivers smooth acceleration and holds speed uphill with no effort. The integrated parking brake is super secure—even when loaded with passengers and gear. Well worth the investment.

  11. Daniel P.

    I used the 5 kW version on a Club Car Precedent, and the performance improvement is immediately noticeable. The cart takes off quicker, handles inclines better, and rides smoother overall. Installation was straightforward, but the brake connector cable was a tight fit. Still, I’d absolutely buy it again.

  12. Kyle H.

    This motor is an absolute game-changer. I paired the 4 kW unit with a Navitas 600A controller on a 48V Yamaha Drive. It’s dead quiet, responsive, and gives plenty of torque for off-road trails. The regen braking is smooth and actually recharges the batteries a bit on long downhills.

  13. Henry T.

    Went with the 3 kW motor for a campground cart—wanted better low-end torque and smoother hill climbs. It’s not a speed demon, but it’s super reliable, efficient, and quiet. The motor runs cool and the parking brake works without slipping, even on a steep gravel slope.

  14. Vince K.

    Performance is solid once installed, but the shipping took longer than advertised and I had to call support for wiring help. The motor itself is well-built and powerful, but documentation could be more beginner-friendly. Make sure you’re pairing it with a compatible controller to get full power.

  15. Allen B.

    The 7.5 kW AC motor turned my slow utility cart into a powerhouse. It flies on flat roads and doesn’t bog down with a full load. I especially like the added safety of the parking brake—works perfectly every time. Navitas nailed it with this one.

  16. Joel W.

    Very impressed with how quiet this motor is. I expected more noise at high speeds but it’s whisper quiet even under load. I went with the 5 kW model and my EZGO climbs hills like it’s nothing. Parking brake is solid, no rollback even on my sloped driveway.

  17. Nathan L.

    Can this be used with 72V systems or just 48V? Looking to go higher voltage for performance. I’ve been running the 19T spline on 48V and it’s been great so far—no overheating, plenty of torque, but I want to push it further.

  18. Leo P.

    Power delivery is ultra smooth, especially on uneven terrain. I take my cart hunting and needed something tough—this motor delivers. Matched it with heavy-duty Navitas controller and cables, and I have zero regrets. Strong pull, stable braking, and crazy battery efficiency.

  19. Jeff R.

    Installed the Navitas 5kW motor in my Club Car. Huge torque increase, way better hill climbing. Quiet and smooth too.

  20. Kevin H.

    Running the 7.5kW Navitas motor with a 600A controller. Tons of power. Cart hauls now. Could use better install instructions.

  21. Luke W.

    The 4kW motor is perfect for cruising. Efficient and quiet. Great upgrade for a stock cart. Fast shipping too.

  22. Marcus A.

    Motor works fine, but it came scratched. Still functions well though. Using it with a 48V setup. High-torque AC motor feels strong.

  23. Steven G.

    Replaced my old DC motor with the Navitas 5kW AC and it’s night and day. Faster, more efficient, and handles trails great.

  24. Brian S.

    The 7.5kW motor is a beast. More torque than I expected. Worth every penny. Paired it with Navitas TAC2 controller.

  25. Jake L.

    Is the 4kW Navitas motor enough for off-road use? It’s smooth, but I think I need more torque. Anyone else running 5kW?

  26. Tom J.

    Absolutely love this motor. Went with 5kW version, and the cart pulls hard uphill now. No complaints. Easy install too.

  27. Dave R.

    Powerful and reliable. My EZGO RXV now feels brand new. Using the 7.5kW version. Gets warm but handles it well.

  28. Sean P.

    Perfect match for my lithium upgrade. Motor is quiet, efficient, and strong. Navitas really nailed this one.

  29. Paul K.

    It’s powerful, no doubt, but FedEx delayed my delivery by 4 days. Prime Golf Parts was responsive though. Got the 5kW motor.

  30. Chris E.

    Can’t believe the torque difference! 7.5kW motor pulls like a UTV. Very happy with this upgrade.

  31. Aaron E.

    Great motor, fits perfectly in my Club Car DS. Plenty of power and smooth acceleration. Recommend the 4kW for casual use.

  32. Dan B.

    So far so good. Using the Navitas 5kW AC motor for hunting cart. Quiet and powerful. Would buy again.

  33. Tony H.

    Motor is good, but the harness it came with didn’t fit my model. Had to buy an adapter separately. Bit of a hassle.

  34. Eric V.

    Best decision I made for my cart. AC over DC all day. The Navitas 7.5kW motor is a powerhouse.

  35. Logan B.

    Plug and play with my Navitas controller. Got the 4kW motor—it’s super efficient and good for neighborhood driving.

  36. Dean V.

    Not the fastest, but very strong on inclines. The 5kW version pulls our 4-seat lifted cart easily. Real upgrade.
