I need to know what happened when you had to appear in court. How much was the fine and did you have to replace your motor for a slower one? Call me at 352 750-9514 or respond to this thread with advise for me before May 1. That is the date I have to go to court in Bushnell.

If it goes over 20mph, a governor should slow you down, say at 20.5 on a downhill. You should have a speedometer installed or have a governor installed or speed adjusted by the place where you bought it. It should not have been sold going faster than 20. Most people caught speeding have rigged it to go faster and they take their chances. If it is not a street legal vehicle 20mph is the law. What's right is right, and what's wrong is wrong.
