Guess that I might as well throw in my 2 cents having just gone through the pains of buying our 1st golf cart.

Non-street legal carts, gas or electric, normally leave the sales room/shop set to go 20mph (+/- 0.05mph) by law in FL. A gas cart can be set higher a little easier. But this is illegal and a big no-no. But being Villagers, some people just can't resist the urge to do it. In fact, a salesmen I spoke with actually told me how to do it. Shame on him. The electric cart can also be set to a higher speed by changing the motor controller. This may be a little harder to do for a none technical person.

Street legal carts are set to go 25mph (+/- 0.5mph) when they leave salesroom/shop. They can also be reset as in the above.

As to larger diameter tires. If a wheel travels 1 foot in one revolution (per second) and you double the diameter so that it travels 2 feet in one revolution (per second) you are essentially doubling the mph of the cart. Any engineers out there?

But the law still applies. 20mph is still the same, big tires/small tires.
