As I recall, you don’t own a golf cart. How is it that you are so tuned in to these alleged practices? Regarding top speeds, in the case of Yamahas, I suspect 35 MPH is attainable if you have the high speed gear in the differential. I doubt the engine can reach the RPMs necessary to reach 50 MPH so I am calling BS on that claim until such time as you can provide proof. FYI, I believe well over half of the carts in The Villages can speeds over 20 MPH. I see many people typically driving 22-24 MPH.

The drivers that do that are former hot rod teenagers that NEVER grew up. They beat up their golf cart and take turns at excessive speeds that is both dangerous to them (flipping) and hard on the vehicles rear end bearings. The engine probably smokes and needs a new ring job. But they put the speed advance control back to a normal 20 mph and put heavier oil in the engine. THEY THEY UNLOAD their beaten up LEMON golf cart,
--------So my warning is BUYER BEWARE. Make sure by talking to friends that the owner selling a used golf cart was never seen driving it over 20 MPH. Like I said -----BUYER BEWARE !!!!
