When I rented had star electric cart. Ran required 20 MPH on the dot. One evening there was high low switch on dash. I thought it was high beams switch. I flipped it to high and cart took off like I hit another gear. I never got it to top out, but by wind blowing by it was 30 plus.
The point is modified golf cart shall not exceed 20 MPH. No requirement for speedometer on golf cart, when they are governed at 19.99999999 (yes I listed the posted maximum speed they so many believe it you 1/10 over that speed you are subject to prison time).
Now my thoughts on carts going over 20 mph. Usually have speedometer so they can occasionally look how fast they are going in case LEO spotted. Some crank up little bit to climb hills at or around 20 miles per hour. Some crank them all the way up so they can speed to next tee time or where ever. My last opinion on golf cart speed. Some crank them up cause they can’t poke along at 19. 99999 mph. Now the bottom line. Don’t matter it it’s 21 or 35 it’s against Florida regulations when referring to non registered gold cart which if caught subject to fines
Now shall we get into the LSVs that has maximum speed limit of 25. IMO nobody gets LSV licenses to go extra 5 MPH. More like 30 plus some even approach 40MPH. How do I know this? I paced them in my car going down streets like BV and MB. At the end of this it boils down to individual choice. We as observers or passers by are NOT LEOs, don’t have radar guns, and have no authority to pass judgment.
