Default Golf cart to speed or not to speed that is the question

If the the speed limit on the the interstate is 65 I risk it and go 67. I don't mind if 96% of the drivers pass me. I often wish there was a police car around when they do it recklessly.

In the Villages for golf carts, the speed limit is 19.6 and I am not capable of going 19.9. Now 99% of the drivers pass me. It bothers me more for some reason and most is reckless.

I would love to be able to go 19.9 mph but even more not to slow down going up hills.

I have a 2009 Club President. 4 seater is heaver than most, my wife and I are lighter than most. I am having a speedometer installed by ** so I know where I really stand.

If I install a plum quick motor for $325.00 I can go 25 mph and go up hill. But I lose me Regen motor braking which I love going into tunnels and down the bridge over 441 and I can now drive reckless. If I install a new Alltrax 24-48 volt 400 amp (DCX400IQ) regen programmable solid state speed controller I might go 20 mph be able to go up hills and retain my regen braking. Cost is $439.00 plus I might need heaver wiring.

Experts, please what do you recommend?
