When I first got my cart, I too felt I was being passed by everyone and it was taking FOREVER to get anywhere.

I asked at numerous golf cart shops if they could adjust my speed or tell me how to adjust my speed but they all said no.

I downloaded an app that worked on my iPhone that said I was going 18mph which I thought was way to slow so I took matters into my own hands and looked on line for a video on how to adjust the speed governor on a Yamaha golf cart and reset it to a more appropriate speed. It was EXTREMELY easy to do.

As an aside, the guy at Carts and Clubs said they set their carts to 24mph which personally I think is too fast but I think they also have a speedometer that is "standard" so you can see how fast you are going.

Personally I don't want a speedometer because I don't want to think about my speed except to know that when my peddle is to the metal I am going the top speed I have preset myself and tested with my iphone app.
