That is just crazy.

Not all electric carts maintain the speed you've listed once they're loaded with passengers and golf clubs...or if they have Curtis Cabs placed on the body of the cart. Golf cart engines are not like automobile engines. They might not have the extra power needed to maintain 19.8 when heading up a steep hill....and there are a few hills that are long and a bit on the steep side here in TV. I'm the other owner of that Polaris cart and the extra power has helped the cart keep a better speed when loaded with the two of us, our clubs, and all the extra food and water I bring for when we're on the links...
It's not just unique to Polaris, the slower speed....have a friend with a Yamaha and when the Curtis Cab enclosure was installed, the extra weight caused the cart to slow considerably when heading up hills. Have another friend who had an EZ Go or Club Car, can't remember which, but when her Curtis Cab was put on her cart, even her cruising speed on level ground was slowed considerably. Before the enclosure was added, the cart was slow and then with the addition of the cab enclosure, on hills it was EXTREMELY slow.
