The majority of people renting these carts are out-of-towners renting homes in TV. As such, these people would not know about the 19mph rule and when they cited for “unregistered vehicle” they were most likely driving well under the posted speed limit, which is 30-35 mph.
A lot of rental carts come from private individuals who have started a cottage industry. Renters should be aware. They should not only ask about speed alteration, but also insurance. My bet is that these private renters have no insurance to cover them.

But then, renters probably wouldn't know to ask, would they.
