We thought of that idea too. Right now, the shaft out of the motor that the belt is connected too, is behind the motor. If we turned the motor around 180, the shaft would now be in front of the motor and could not be connected to the belt. Unless, we mounted the motor on top of the axle/differential. It would put a lot of wheight on the rear end and would be sticking out of the golf cart! It would look really bad! Unfortunetly, that idea would not work out!
