Ok I'm getting ready to order the parts from you guys and start this project finally, I need to finalize my direction.

For medium and high powered applications they are the only option that is available to replace the hard to operate rotary reverse switches though. Our reverse contactors are fairly large, heavy, and industrial duty which is the reason for their high cost. It is sold on this page and its wiring directions are available at this link: For a 36 Volt system, our reverse contactor item # RLY-RC36150 could be used. If a throttle with properly functioning battery indicator is desired then a new 36 Volt throttle with battery indicator could be installed along with the new 36 Volt controller and battery pack.įor an easy to operate reverse switch we carry reverse contactors that can be controlled by an easy to use SPDT On-Off-On toggle switch. The original throttle could be reused with a 36 Volt controller, however, if the original throttle has a battery power level indicator then it would not function correctly on 36 Volts.

A 36 Volt 750 or 1000 Watt controller would allow for upgrading to a more powerful 36 volt motor in the future, however, could potentially provide more current to the 24 Volt 350 Watt motor than it could handle if the ATV was used to go up hills or in deep sand or mud under full throttle conditions. A 36 Volt 500 Watt controller would be fairly gentle on the 24 Volt 350 Watt motor while at the same time providing more power to it.
#24 volt 4 wheelers upgrade#
Regarding the controller, we recommend installing one that will allow for a motor upgrade down the road and also a 24 Volt 350 Watt motor will demand more than 350 watts when overvolted to 36 Volts. For either 18Ah or 22Ah batteries, we carry 2.5 Amp and 3 Amp battery chargers which will recharge them in the same time that a 1.6 Amp charger will recharge 12Ah batteries. If you decide to use 18Ah batteries then for just a few dollars more 22Ah batteries are available which are the same dimensions as 18Ah batteries and will provide longer ride time. I have little newer gas Atv's that I will have less $ into than this haha but it serves a different purposes when I'm not around mom can let him go or while we are camping etc Something like this could be a thaught - I didn't receive the charger so I need to purchase 1 as well - so overvolting to 36 untill I fry the motor may be the way to go - seems to be a little bit of a pain with the gear reduction for other options plenty of room in the body for batteries seem that 3 -18ah batteries have better demensions tall and skinny vs the 12ah wide and fat but also add 4.5 lbs per battery for a total of 13ish extra lbs and would prob take sometime to charge but the runtime should be excellent? Any ideas on controllers, throttle, and charging ideas that won't break the bank but take days to charge - I think I'm going let the motor be for the moment, although I don't know if the motor is good assuming so? Any easy way to test ? I came across this on your page history last night it seems to have some info pertaining to the atv Please let us know if you have any questions. We can help with gear ratios and sprocket selection if you decide to upgrade the motor.

I am not sure how many teeth the original motor's sprocket has or what size chain it uses so that would be something to consider if modifying the ATV to have a more powerful motor. I was just looking at online photos of the Go Bowen 24 Volt 350 Watt ATV Quad and it looks like there is plenty of room inside of the frame for installing a larger motor and battery pack. So it is a gamble to overvolt a 24 Volt motor.įor more torque and the same top speed or more top speed (depending on the gear ratio), along with high reliability, a more powerful 24 Volt or 36 Volt gear motor and controller could be custom installed and used with a battery pack that is the same Voltage as the motor. Some of our customers overvolt 24 Volt motors to 36 Volts and have no problems at all while others do the same thing and wind up burning out their motor in a short amount of time. And increasing the battery pack Voltage from 24 Volts to 36 Volts will increase both the torque and the top speed at the same time. As you probably already know installing a larger 24 Volt battery pack will increase the range, however, will not increase the torque or top speed.
