Seat suspension system of the electric golf cart

The paper deals with reducing vibrations transmitted from electric golf cart wheels to the seat and the seated person. These vibrations appear while driving a golf cart on uneven terrain of a golf course. This problem can be solved by using the elastic and damping link between the cart frame and seat, which is tightly connected to the electric power battery. A mathematical calculation is used to evaluate the designed solution in which the golf cart is defined as a system of masses connected with elastic and damping links. The result of the designed solution’s mathematical description provides a reference step response of the golf cart seat.
