Will it effect drivability at lower speeds?
Asking for a friend, lol.

Increasing the maximum speed will have no effect on drivability at low speeds. Quite to the contrary, it can greatly affect it at high speeds. I suggest you leave it at the factory setting for several months, and, only then, increase the speed to 21-22 mph.
Golf carts are inherently unstable. The are top heavy; have a short wheelbase; and, a narrow track. In short, they turn over easily and faster than you can react. Any golfer can tell you stories about carts overturning at speeds far lower than 19 mph when the driver makes a sharp turn. They will overturn just as easily on the streets and paved paths throughout The Villages. In the last year, I have witnessed two carts overturned at the tunnel under Morse at its intersection with CR 466. The approach to the tunnel seems to have a steeper slope than others in TV and the drivers failed to slow before initiating the 90 deg turn.
Also, spend a few extra dollars for seats with armrests on the outside and for seatbelts, and use the seatbelts. It's no fun to be thrown out of a cart when the driver makes an unexpected sharp turn on the golf course and injury can result. On a paved path or a street, it can be deadly.
