If you put what is know as a governor on your cart it will slow down as you go up a hill but it can be set to only go 20mph on the flat. I would think, for a lot of reasons, you want to control the speed of your golf cart yourself.
Justjim, He is trying to do the legal thing. The golf cart is not supposed to be "capable" of doing over 20. If it can, it is not considered a golf cart, but an unregistered vehicle. If he is involved in an accident, his insurance company can refuse to pay because it is not a "golf cart".
