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.
If cart governed at 20MPH it won’t climb steep grade maintaining 20MPH due to throttle not in wide open.


Gravity going down hill the throttle pulled back by governor, so it basically free wheeling, only thing slow down is braking.
