Eddie,
Carts sold by or rented from reputable dealers around TV do have speed governors of sorts. Their top speed is 20 mph. It is relatively easy to modify them to go faster, but the owner must make a conscious effort to do so. The vast, vast majority of people are quite satisfied with carts as they are and do not change them. However, as BTK says, the primary problem is operator head space. The carts are not too fast, but they are sometimes driven too fast in inappropriate situations.
