We just bought a 2021 Classic 2 Plus from TV Discount Golf Carts. We've logged about 75 miles so far and everything seems to be performing as expected. The issue I do have is with the top end speed. They are rated at 25 mph but the dealer drops it to 20 mph citing some mandate from the villages that all carts cannot be capable of exceeding that speed. Has anyone heard of such a restriction. I know the speed limit is 20 and it's my responsibility to comply but since when does someone have the right to control what I can set my personal property to perform at. Has anyone heard of a Villages Regulation requiring carts to be limited to max speed of 20 mph?
Update: I have my answer...
Florida Statute 320.01(22) defines a golf cart as “a motor vehicle that is designed and
manufactured for operation on a golf course for sporting or recreational purposes and that
is not capable of exceeding speeds of 20 MPH.”
