There was miscommunication with their staff who passed on to some buyers, my friends, that there was a new policy to set the carts at 23 mph like Carts and Clubs in Ocala does. They are in discussion with Yamaha and are looking into it but HAVE NOT changed the policy to date so stay tuned. They are going to call me when it is straightened out so I can give you the facts as they emerge. It is a controversial issue and they are trying to come to an understanding with Yamaha about the right thing to do here in The Villages. That's all that is for now. THE VILLAGES is NOT upping the speed to 23 at this time. New carts are being sold at 20 mph. Their salespeople were misunderstanding a meeting they had and passed on wrong information. Will get back to you when this is updated. They are also discussing having the ability to get carts set at 23 serviced in The Villages, but this is under discussion as well. I will share info as I get it. Sorry for saying they changed their policy but it came from the sales people who were not understanding they were only discussing it.
I don't know why TV would change their speed limits for carts. Have you or anyone else EVER seen a golf cart pulled over for speeding? Personally I think they could leave it at 20 mph & carts could go 40 mph & probably nobody would ever get pulled over. I guess I don't understand why they have the 20 mph speed limit now, because I don't think they enforce the ones they have now. My cart will run 20 mph top speed & I mean everbody passes me. Are the speed limits for real?
