Not what I asked. All I wanted to know is if it will effect drivability at lower speeds. Thanks anyways. I was doing 17mph yesterday and was getting passed by several other carts like I was standing still. So I got to assume the carts passing me made an adjustment to their cart. I’m never in a hurry to go anywhere just curious if messing with the carts governor would effect overall drivability. Again thanks for the legal advice.

No it won't effect the drivablity. It might affect stopping ability minimally.

It seems silly to think that 2-3 mph over the limit wouldn't get you into trouble and in most cases it won't. But if you get into an accident and it's found that your cart is capable of going over 20 mph you'd get cited for driving an unregistered and uninsured vehicle. There might be additional citations for not having the proper safety equipment that is required on an LSV.

The question I have is why are those carts set to go only up to 19mph when the legal limit is 20mph?

One thing that I think of is how accurate are these speedometers. I have an eight month old EZGO with the digital speedometer/computer. It usually registers 21mph and occasionally jumps up to 22mph. Is that speedometer accurate to 1-2mph? Does the dealer that I bought it from have some liability if there is a problem?
