There were 2 kids about 5-7 years old in the front seat with grampa. I'm no mechanical engineer, but I'm sure the structure/chassis of these carts are not built for that speed, they cannot handle all that well at 39, and the injury potential has to be huge. What are some people thinking????
No doubt. There are several of these souped up buggies buzzing the cart paths and streets. I've been in the car going down Enrique drive doing 25 and got passed by golf carts. I thought modifying these carts will severely damage the motors not to mention the braking on a cart is not designed for speeds over 15 mph.
