A speed control for an electric golf car providing sequential changing between a plurality of speeds such that the golf car must accelerate through fixed speeds for predetermined times prior to reaching a full speed. A foot pedal actuable by the operator controls a plurality of magnetic reed switches. The reed switches in turn control a timing circuit for generating a plurality of motor drive signals in succession at predetermined times. The motor drive signals actuate relay coils for applying power to the golf car motor.
