This is interesting. If you bought the cart from a dealer I am surprised the speed is not set to 20 mph since that is the law. When we bought our cart we were told that increasing the speed would void our warranty. I didn’t touch anything until our warranty was up but since the cart really only went 18 mph I did adjust it to go 20/21. If old license plates are illegal then 75% of the Villagers are breaking the law. I know insurance is optional we insured our carts as soon as we got them so we were protected. I would not want a street legal cart but as long as you stay on the paths or inside the painted lines along certain roads you are fine. I would double check the speed though as driving 30 mph can be dangerous.
