I am no electrician but look take this example as an explanation. You wire up 2, let’s say 1.5v motors to each other direct. The motors have a black and red wire and these are just paired from one to the other motor, and that it! Now, if you turn one motor, the other one will also turn (albeit with 50% less speed due to losses). What this tells us is an electric motor is the same thing as a generator. So in your cart, as long as you are slowing down in gear, not only will you have the braking effect of the motor, the motor will be producing electricity which should be flowing through and recharging your battery.
