IMO only Par Car can increase the speed of the cart which will cost. I have a Par Car NEV with a switch that increases speed to 25 mph but never use it. I had them set it to 22 mph on the last service inspection. I don't feel the need for speed. With only rear brakes I find it dangerous at any speed above 22 mph. I replaced the rear brakes myself and found them very cheaply made. They are hydraulic which is better than cable as the same amount of pressure is applied to both wheels. If the brake shoes get glazed only 1 wheel can get more friction than the other then the cart can slide sideways into a rollover situation. “Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?” George Carlin.
