Old golf cart had the governor adjusted up by the maintenance people so it would go up to about 25 mph but I still had carts passing me going much faster.

I'm not an expert but the new 2017 Yamaha is set to do 24 mph. We have a 2015 and last time we had it serviced the villages golf carts made us sign a memo that said we authorize them to turn back the speed if it is set over 20 mph. This time they asked us where we wanted it set. Offered options were 22.5 or 24. I did not ask but I do wonder how they could set a half mile an hour on that crude governor system.
Originally, golf carts were designed to do 15 mph. They only have brakes on the rear wheels. Like your old Schwinn bike with brakes on the rear wheel only, when you hit the brakes hard the weight moves forward and it easily skids. Golf carts are also top heavy. We've all seen them with four people each well over 200 lbs in them. Folks that is 900 lbs almost equal to the empty weight of the car, well above the center of gravity.
The golf cart paths are clearly not designed for these speeds.
ARE WE, ARE YOU, IN SUCH A RUSH TO RELAX????????
