We are frequently asked, can't a "magnet" just be used to by-pass the speed limiter on a GEM car? The truth is a "magnet" may be part of the solution to by-pass the 25MPH limiter, but to actually go 30, 35, or 40MPH, you absolutely need more motor. Stock motors were just not designed for the increased RPM and heat associated with 30MPH to 40MPH GEM Car crusing  - click here for additional information on this topic.

The Ride-4-Fun GEM car motor  makes all other motors obsolete and is direct replacement motor for all 2, 4, and 6 passenger GEM cars. Offering 25% higher RPMs, 20% more power, 30% more torque, and higher reliability backed by an unconditional warranty, while redefining GEM car Performance. Its the motor chosen by police departments, universities, parks departments, security fleets, rental companies, and GEM car enthusiasts worldwide.

Experience the Ride-4-Fun difference - an overbuilt GEM car motor that can sustain speeds of 35MPH-40MPH; all day, in any environment, in any application. Don't be fooled by false peak horse power claims, which mean nothing. To cruise all day at 35MPH to 40MPH, you need continuous horsepower, and the Ride-4-Fun delivers more power than any other motor.

​

Here's how Ride-4-Fun Motor Kits stacks up:

​

• Patented motor design delivers more power, generates more torque, increases brush life, cooler operating temperatures, quicker acceleration, and increased reliability/motor life.

Gem Car Performance 101: The stock motor in a 1998-2015 Gem Car is fine for 23-25mph - yes even the new 7HP GEM motor will ONLY go 25HPH. They were NOT designed to be used with radical controller programming or under extreme conditions. They operate within a limited temperature range and ANY attempts to achieve consistent 35MPH 40mph performance through gearing or excessive programming WILL result in heat related motor failure. See our Gem Car frequently asked questions for the real line on Gem Car performance.

Simply Stated - You Need More Motor: The Ride-4-Fun  motor is the highest performaning motor available for Gem Cars and has been designed specifically for drivers that require additional speed, acceleration, and power while enhancing operating reliability. The motor is ventilated and can withstand operating temperatures of over 370 degrees, while a stock motor will cook at 185 degress. In addition it has a rated rpm of 6,000  while the stock motor is only capable of 4,100 rpm.

Increased Reliability: The Ride-4-Fun motor has been installed and tested in the most extreme applications. This is the only motor of choice for rental fleets, municipalities, commercial operators and police departments.
