wheel bearings suitable for electric golf buggies
Wheel bearings are an important factor for longevity of a motorised golf buggy.
EMG’s Australian made electric golf buggies rear wheels are supplied with needle roller clutch bearings in each wheel which helps turning mobility. When the buggy is not turned on it can free-wheel forward and backwards with ease. How this system works is once the motor is engaged via the On/Off switch the needle roller bearings engage onto the axle, giving you drive through both wheels for traction up steep hills and slippery surfaces. If you need to turn the buggy left to right the clutch bearings will disengage for optimum turning ability. The needle roller is fully supported in the wheel with 2 ball race bearings suitable for a standard car gearbox.
Bearings in the front wheel of the EMG buggies have spacers between the bearings to ensure that no matter how much torque is applied, the mounting bolt and bearings will never operate outside there torque parameters.
EMGs entire drive assembly only use sealed ball race bearings not cheap plastic bushes.
