@CJ
These motors are used on planes that would use a 150cc gas engine, what makes you think 4 of them wouldn't pull a golf cat? I bet four DA 150s would be plenty for a golf cart, one would probably get it going pretty good (golf carts aren't very fast).

@312
That's probably the easiest way, just hook a single Hacker up to the existing differential and add batteries in series until you got the speed you want, then add batteries in parallel until you get the duration. You'll have to think of cooling, and at $1K a pop for the motors (not to mention that much again for each controller), $8K (without any batteries) could buy a really nice golf cart.
