Is this what the rest of you are experiencing with your 20 mph carts?
Another issue is going down those same hills, it is almost impossible to keep it from going over 25 (if I give it half throttle, it will easily go up to 30), which by definition makes it an illegal vehicle. Our mechanic says there is nothing he can do about this.
I would just like to know if this is normal for a golf cart.

What hill are you testing this on?
Speed measurement for determining legality is made on a flat surface.
I’m surprised that pressing on the throttle would increase speed going down a steep hill but I haven’t actually tried that.
My cart works hard climbing out of tunnels and up some of the steeper overpasses. I don’t believe it makes it to 20mph but I’ll have to pay closer attention ext time to see how fast it is capable of going.
