Older gas powered EzGo golf carts came with a 2 stroke "Robin" engine. I believe it was supplied by Fuji Heavy Industries (Subaru).

I was thinking Buena Vista...and not Morse. Thank you for going easy on me...with such a dumb statement I made. As for Morse, I have seen cops hiding in the post office station on the west side of Morse...with their radar guns out. And if you have an older electric cart, without the regenerative braking, it can easily get up to 30 mph...while coasting downhill on Morse. The same for going down the big hill westbound on Bonita Blvd. (only even faster).. when coming from Morse Blvd. Don't ask me how I know. After hearing about some pretty expensive tickets (due to unlicensed vehicles, not just speed)...I am very careful on Morse though. Thanks again...for cutting me a lot of slack. |

Does not matter but
Golf carts were made in two stroke-many years ago. The advantage is lighter engine weight to power and fewer moving parts. They are dirty, pouring out raw gas with the exhaust and so get less power from the fuel per gallon.

So my 2 stroke Yamaha RZ is ok on MMP as long as I go at 20 mph? (Or my 6R?)

Do the 2 stroke carts have a kick start?
Nothing more fun then jumping up and down a few times to get it fired up... |

Velvet: Motor scooters or mopeds are *NOT* allowed on the multi-modal trails. It's for golf carts, bicycles, pedestrians, and in-line or roller skates. According to the memorandum dated 2010 from the District Counsel to the District Manager, Segways would also be permitted since the state treats them as bicycles and they aren't considered motorized vehicles. Skateboards and non-motorized scooters (basically a skateboard with a handle) aren't mentioned in the memorandum but I have yet to see anyone skateboarding anywhere in The Villages, let alone on the MMPs. In a bunch of different articles and op-eds and random threads and arm-chair lawyer discussions, people claim there is no actual speed limit on the MMPs. But according to one article I saw in a google search the speed limit is 19.8mph. Keep in mind that the MMPs are not under police jurisdiction. They can't issue speeding tickets to violators on the MMPs. The community police might have other ideas though, so it's best to not test it. Plus it's considered bad form. Theoretically you could get a speeding ticket for riding your bicycle or roller skating on the public roads over 30 MPH. I also didn't see anything about motorized wheelchairs, or electric scooters of the medical-need variety but I imagine they'd be allowed on the MMPs as well.

Jazuela is right. The RZ is a motorcycle. Sorry, of course I know, I can’t ride on the path.

Well than, that does it, if you have a 2 stroke golf cart, I am going to figure out how to build a diesel golf cart. It won't go over 19.9999 MPH.

Lets just make it easy and cull the heard, death penalty for anyone exceeding 22 mph in a golf cart.
