My loaner is set at 19. Before I got it I rode shotgun with a friend who had his set at 23. I could feel a difference and want mine to be set higher, which the cart company said they could do once my new one comes in. I didn't notice a problem when he slowed down. For a lot of us, the extra speed comes in handy on straightaways and if you need to easily pass others who are going slow, long before any cart on the opposite path side comes closer.

For that one story here, if you were parked or stopped and someone hit you why would insurance ask if yours was set higher? I really doubt the insurance dings you if you weren't at fault anyways. But if you're a bad driver then it'll be inevitable.

Saw one cart make a dumb move this weekend, passing a slow bike through solid line over bridge just missing oncoming carts on opposite side. If you're gonna go higher remember to still drive carefully. Just because you can now pass, those solid lines are usually there around curves and blind spots to prevent accidents. Also watch your speed on those curves. You really don't want to flip the cart and mess up your body.

Saw another cart whip it through the front of a Publix this weekend too. When taking that parking lot route most people expect to stop or at least slow down in that area because of people walking in and out of the front of the store. Some other drivers just don't get it. With great cart power comes greater responsibility.

As for increasing my speed, same as a car. I'm not gonna go max speeding all over, but that little bit extra is there should I need it. Pedal to the metal only going 19 just feels like a tortoise.
