How to Make Your Kandi Golf Cart Faster (2 Proven Upgrade Options)
If you own a Kandi golf cart and wish it had a little more speed or power, you’re not alone. One of the most common requests we hear at Canyon Lake Mobile Golf Cart Repair is:
“Can you make my Kandi cart faster?”
The good news is yes — and there are two proven ways to do it safely and effectively.
Why Kandi Golf Carts Are Speed-Limited
From the factory, most Kandi carts are programmed to stay around 17–20 mph.
This is done through the motor controller software, which limits how much power is delivered to the motor.
That means unlocking more speed isn’t about replacing the whole cart — it’s about upgrading or reprogramming the controller.
Option 1: Reprogram Your Factory Controller
The easiest and most affordable way to increase speed is to have your existing Kandi controller professionally programmed.
At Canyon Lake Mobile, we offer two ways to do this:
• In-shop programming service – bring your cart in and we tune it for improved speed and acceleration
• Mail-in programming service – order directly from our website and send us your controller for tuning
This upgrade can typically increase top speed by several miles per hour and improve throttle response without changing any major components.
This option is best for owners who want a noticeable speed increase while keeping their cart mostly stock.
Option 2: Upgrade to a Navitas TAC-2 Performance Controller
For customers who want the biggest performance improvement, we recommend upgrading to a Navitas TAC-2 performance controller, also available through our website.
This upgrade provides:
• Higher motor output
• Faster acceleration
• Adjustable speed settings
• Bluetooth tuning capability
• Compatibility with future motor and battery upgrades
With a properly installed Navitas controller, many Kandi carts can reach speeds in the mid-20 mph range or higher depending on the setup.
This option is ideal for drivers who want maximum performance and room to upgrade further.
Which Option Is Right for You?
Choose controller programming if you want:
• Lower cost upgrade
• Quick install
• Improved speed without major modifications
Choose Navitas TAC-2 upgrade if you want:
• Maximum speed potential

• A long-term performance platform
