I have a Yamaha gas cart and with just myself and one bag of clubs I can do 25mph, but I found the Yamaha runs smoothest at 22mph and handles best. I think it's a disservice to the manufacturer and the operator and also a safety issue to not allow a gas golf cart to operate at 22mph. With carts operating everywhere from rentals at 14mph to retuned carts going 25mph it can cause a hazard. On our interstates we usually have two or sometimes 3 or 4 lanes to separate traffic, here we are limited to one lane of golf cart traffic.
