Default Gears and Engine Noise

The high speed or performance gears are great for travel around the Villages. Our gas Yamaha without a gear change would go about 18 mph. At that speed the engine was quite loud, with the gear installed the cart would do 21 mph. What was most important about the gear was the engine purred at 20 mph compared to a loud noise at 18 mph without the gear. You want a cart that will cruise at a minimum of 20 mph.
