On a golf cart you are stuck with the gears in the transmission. On the bike you can change the final drive sprockets. Raising the belt in the secondary could cause it to slip. And the bike will be a lot lighter than than a jacked up cart with two Bubba's in it I will look up the part numbers for the springs, weights and secondary that I used

I dont profess to know if it allows for slippage at the top. In some sled forums (or was it ATV?) I read machining allowed a tighter grab and less slip thru just about whole range. maybe they were refering to a different machining? Some claimed it even allowed for earlier activation. Maye that was a primary machineing?
