Yarnspinner, You are correct. Our golf cart insurance is for a golf cart only. If the cart has the "capability" of exceeding 20 mph, it is no longer a golf cart, but it is an unregistered vehicle. In the event of an accident, the insurance companies routinely have the cart examined. If it has been modified, they deny the claim. In the event of serious injury or death, your retirement in paradise could be dramatically endangered.

I wonder if a "street legal" cart that has the capability of exceeding 25 mph could also lose its designation as a "street legal" vehicle.
