Funny that a majority of Villagers think it is mandatory to drive a golf cart at full speed all the time. I have 2 carts and can exceed 20MPH by 3-4 MPH but I maintain a speed between 19-21. Your cars can exceed 100MPH but you do not drive it flat out so why is there a need to do so in a golf cart.
If you get caught by a LEO and face a hefty fine, guess what, take responsibility. Don't want to do that, lift up on your right foot when driving the golf cart.

Even if your cart is set for 25 MPH, you will often be caught in a line of carts doing 19 or 20. That just causes unneeded aggravation.

The only auto-train leaves from Lorton, VA and comes into Sanford. The trip to Lorton is the worst 7-??? hours of the trip. Besides, we go to Raleigh, NC to see the grandchildren on the way.

Well, my cart governed at 20 mph. If I go down hill and I notice the speedometer going over 20 MPH I put my foot on thing called brakes. You know the gizmo beside the go pedal. I doubt anybody got ticket going 21 or 22 mph down hill. I guessing it's the Blazen cart owners got the speed turns up to 25 or 30 plus mph. They get caught going 23 plus the road on level or incline. It would be obvious the cart is ILLEGAL.
I'm guessing there is calabration plus or minus limit on radars so MPH or two over IMO not worth ticketing, but my indeed worth warning? I am sure there are some retired officers that can elaborate?? |

what i said was the material difference was average speed. With my gas cart I can maintain close to avg speed be it a steady 15mph 17 mph, etc. I couldn't get a steady mph with my electric cart. So traveling to and from a golf course i can maintain a steady 15 mph or 17 mph depending on obstructions on MMP's. I didn't say if a cop stopped me i would say but my average speed was.........

Has anyone noticed the OP has 2 posts? Hhhhmmmmmmmmmm................
My electric golf cart max speed is 19.5 and a governor kicks in going downhill to prevent it from going any faster. For me, this is a non issue. BTW - 23 posts and counting, (including mine).

Clarification (added later): I do not wish to remove the contents in a post even if I may be mistaken. When I hear the term governor in a golf cart, I think a gas cart. I never call regenerative braking or a speed controller (electric cart) a governor. I am likely wrong here in my definition of governor.

Forgive me, I am just being silly, as electrics carts have no such thing

If you look at his profile he is a recently retired physician (probably a friend of golfingeagles). His email address is indicative of his membership in the Massachusetts Medical Society. And he likes twin engine jets. He is a legitimate guy. Personally I'm hoping to see his twin JET engine golf cart blasting past me on the MMP.

Electrics do have a governor if you have an electric and it doesnt restrict your speed going down hill it has been eliminated. ( let me say club cars do)

Seriously, hopefully the OP will respond, but usually in association with an airline or the military. My kudos to the OP, I've done some FAA physicals for private pilots and they are a PITA. It's probably worse for commercial pilots. |

I'm really looking forward to his participation in TOTV. I think docs add a level of posts and jokes that are worth reading. And if he is a native of NE he is likely to have a droll sense of humor. Right up my alley. Ayup. Ayup. (the second "ayup" is done as a backdraft while inhaling)

The 20 MPH to qualify for being classified as a Golf Cart is used only by the manufacture and the regulators for classification purposes. It defines the threshold between an LSV and a Golf Cart. It does not mean the cart will not be capable of going faster under some circumstances. Its up to the operator of the cart to obey the speed limit. These Golf Carts were never meant to be transportation on city streets. Probably what needs to be done is another classification and a set of specifications to define a cart to be used city streets.
