Arrow Electric Golf Carts Acceleration and Deceleration: Which Models Are Configurable?

A common EV golf cart complaint I have seen - and indeed personally experienced - is their acceleration and deceleration speeds: typically they acceleration too quickly (bad for sharp turns / stability) and when taking ones foot off the pedal, they automatically brake too quickly (bad for heavy traffic).

The Villages Golf Carts just posted THIS VIDEO showcasing EZGO's IntelliGauge which, among other things, allows the owner to directly set both acceleration and deceleration on a 1-4 scale.

I knew these settings can be set on many golf carts, including possibly gas, but they typically require dealer intervention - as noted in the video. To me, enabling such owner configuration is a huge positive for EZGO's Liberty and RXV and I wondered what other EV makes (Star? Evolution? etc.) allow this level of owner configuration for top speed, acceleration, deceleration, regenerative braking, etc.?

Do you know of other carts that allow this level of owner control? If so, please share the make and model, the configurable options, and how they can be set: directly on the cart, through a mobile app or both.
