Golf Cart Speed Limit
Several people have been talking about the new speed limit for GC's being now 24.5mph. I can't seem to find anything on line confirming that.

There is probably a very good reason you cannot find anything to confirm.

Street Legal LSV max speed is 25 MPH allowed in Florida on roads with a speed limit of 35 MPH or less.

Dagnabbit!
So the golf cart I've modified to run 43 mph...isn't really legal? |

It out of control sad to say
Plus those new head lights are more of a danger blinding everyone oncoming

No headers, just expansion chambers...it's a 2-stroke.
You haven't heard me go by? There are very few things in life, that sounds sweeter than a 4 cylinder snowmachine with expansion chambers, blasting across a lake on a really cold day... at well over 100 mph. |

One of my friends said that he knows someone that got caught going too fast (really charged with unregistered/uninsured vehicle) with a ticket over $800, $500 to fix the golf cart back to 19.5MPH and there is still court costs.
Up tp you if you want to take the chance. |

Frankly, what difference does the speed limit make? My electric cart does 20MPH and I get passed almost every day on Morse Blvd by gas carts doing well over 25. In nearly seven years of driving my legal cart, I've never seen a golf cart being stopped by a cop, so I don't think enforcement of the golf cart speed limit is a priority. I don't doubt there is an occasional speeding ticket issued, but most of the time when I read about a speeding case, I see the quote "I heard" or "One of my friends knows someone".

I am not aware of any locations where non-street legal carts...are allowed on Morse Blvd. itself. And as far as the MMP's, they are private property and local law enforcement does not have jurisdiction...so why would they even think of issuing speeding tickets? |

*That's the secret to its top speed. There's a reason that 2-strokes have been used in motocross bikes and snowmobiles for years. That being...more HP with less weight. Admittedly though, they take a lot more maintenance and know-how to keep running and their low-end...can't match a 4-stroke. Which is why they are not used in standard golf carts, but 4 strokes have actually made inroads into snowmobiles and dirt bikes in the last decade or so. The only way the 4 strokes can stay competitive in racing though, is that they are allowed almost twice the cc's...of 2 strokes. But watch out and hang on, when a high-revving 2-stroker...**'comes on the pipe.' Here is a quick primer, for those who may not know the differences. 2 stroke versus 4 stroke (poke here) Quote:
*PS. You do know though, that I'm just funnin'...right? Last edited by ColdNoMore; 05-06-2019 at 08:50 AM. |

It is legal to go onto Morse "road" to overtake slower vehicles in the golf cart lane. |
