Excellent point, yarnspinner. When I recently changed insurers I signed a document stating no additional drivers in household, no drivers under X age, not used for commercial, etc. One of the "etc's" said the vehicle had not been modified. I do not know the exact terminology but it gave the insurer a lot of options. Based on that wording I would not attempt to modify a golf cart in order that it would be capable of speed in excess 20 MPH. I would not take a chance of filing a claim and have it denied.
