Most times it is 17-18 (and that is with my pedal pressed to the floor)due to tires not being fully inflated.

If you're going to upgrade your system, go with a kit that will include a new motor, controller, solenoid and battery cables. I know folks that have upgraded just one or two of those items and they always seem to have problems down the road.
I would not go with the Yamaha cart as one poster recommended. Don't know about the current carts but the old ones had electric motors that were severely under-powered. We went through two motors until TV Golf Carts finally told us that. That's the reason I'll never do business with them again but I digress.
We went with an upgraded kit we bought online and have been nothing but happy with the result. They have the same kits for Club Cars. I'm planning on upgrading my Club Car this winter with an upgraded kit. Tired of going 19 mph on the flat, 21 downhill and 16 uphill.
