From what I have heard, an adjustment could be made but it is not exact so I might end up with less than 20 mph and could be down to 14mph on the hills. Not a really good solution I don't think.

They better have a big jail cell. I would say the majority of the carts in The Villages run between 21- 25 mph. Mine runs that range and I have been passed more than a couple of times.
