GEM car's are popular alternative to cars when you just need to run errands around town. They are also convenient because they can be used on most golf courses allowing drivers to legally drive their golf cart to their favorite golf course.
Some might find the 25MPH speed limit of the GEM Car limiting because it is legal to drive NEV's like the GEM car on roads that are as fast as 35 MPH. This would mean the GEM car could hold up traffic and make speeding drivers impatient. By buying some simple bolt on accessories like a high performance motor and larger low profile tires GEM Car owners can achieve speeds of up to 40MPH.
The new high performance motor which was custom engineered by D&D Motors for the GEM Car is a lot more durable and can withstand higher temperatures then the stock motor. Making it more resistant to over heating. A problem with GEM Cars that have had other accessories like larger wheels or a gear ratio kit installed.
The open interior of the stock GEM Car may be convenient on the golf course can be real hassle in bad weather because drivers are not protected from the elements. The OEM hard doors the dealer sells are expensive. Most GEM Car owners are opting buy soft vinyl doors that can be easily attached or removed and provide much needed protection from the elements while being more affordable then factory options.
