Ausfober,
well yes it does. By definition and confirmed by the insurance company, if a vehicle is ABLE to go over 20 mph, then it is classified as a LSV even if you never drive it over 20 mph. That is the problem, if you want that extra bit of power to negotiate some of the hills. A golf cart repair fellow told me that if the computer controlled setting is adjusted on the electric cart that it may not be able to be set exactly at 20 so it may go 18 and regardless of what it is set at, it will lose about 4 mph going up hill. The downhill speed doesn't matter as that get gravity into play. So you need to decide what it's worth to be able to max at 20 and lose 4 mph on the hills or to have that bit of extra if you need it.
Apparently if the engine on an electric cart is an original factory one then it can't go over 20 unless it was modified somewhere along the line by either the golf cart reseller or at the owner's request. Don't know about the gas ones. Still debating what to do.
BTW can you get ticketed on the cart path on BV or is it Morse Blvd that gets the tickets and Canal, as the carts are right on the roadway. There seems to be differing opinions.
