I was told this restriction (which I heard was 13 MPH - but hey, whats' the difference?) is due to insurance regulations.

"Regular" carts are not supposed to exceed 20 (or is it 19.5 MPH). If they do, they can be ticketed for speeding. And if they've been modified to go faster (and aren't street legal), insurance and warranties are null and void (or so says my insurance policy and my owner warranty info).

The 4 seaters TV rents are faster than 13 MPH (or at least that's been my experience).
