No wonder so many golf cart owners ILLEGALLY jack up their golf cart to top out in that 20 to 35 MPH range.

It allows you to drive on roads where golf carts aren't allowed to drive. Golf carts can't drive on Buena Vista Blvd. Street Legal LSVs can. It also means you can't drive on golf courses, because those are restricted to pedestrians, hand-carts, and golf carts only. LSVs might look just like golf carts, but legally, they are not golf carts.
The 35mph is the maximum speed limit that the ROAD is allowed to be, to allow an LSV to drive on it. If the speed limit is 40mph, then the LSV is not allowed to drive on it.
An LSV is not allowed to be set such that it can drive faster than 25mph.
So people are jacking up their carts for the privilege of driving 5mph faster than non-jacked carts. Or, they're jacking them up beyond that, which is illegal, even for an LSV.
