Perhaps it bothers some because they see it as circumventing the law and avoiding the increased fees of a street legal cart and, thereby, unfair to those who run at 20mph or pay the fees for street legal.
Yeah Mike, I get what you're saying... Safety could be an issue either way; too fast or too slow. I think you hit the nail on the head that folks just don't want someone getting over on the system. I don't have a juiced up cart [bought it new and no one has touched it, except the Villages Golf Cart Store], but it will top out at far more than the legal 20mph. Going downhill is obscene! I gave that cart to the wife and I drive the electronically governed electric cart. If she gets a ticket, that's her problem.... Everybody passes me, with my radio blaring...
