The present invention is a conversion kit to turn a new or used golf car from a conventional, two-wheel drive to a four-wheel drive vehicle. The four-wheel drive system can be engaged while static or while moving at any speed, forward or reverse. The kit has, in its simplest form, a CVT driven sheave adapter, a sprocket, and chain connecting to another sprocket. This combination drives a gear box which, in turn, rotates a drive shaft that connects to a differential. The differential transmits power to the previously non-driven set of wheels and thus turns the vehicle to four-wheel drive. The drive shaft may be made of a single shaft or may be multiple shafts coupled together depending upon the make and model of the golf car. The key advantages of this conversion kit are that it uses the existing drive train to accomplish its goal and is very cost effective and durable. The used golf car market can benefit from this conversion kit in that a four-wheel drive golf car has many more potential customers than a conventional two wheel drive golf car. The conversion kit can also be factory installed by manufacturers of golf cars and utility vehicles. Preventing damage to the turf and the safety of the riders are also key advantages of the conversion kit.
