Is My Golf Cart Slow?
I know my golf cart does close to 20 MPH but driving around TV, I have noticed many gas golf carts going faster than 20 MPH!!!
I was just curious if anyone else has noticed this or do I need to get my golf cart checked, as I don't have a speedometer, installed! Isn't a golf cart that does more than 20 MPH subject to a speeding ticket and need to be modified back to do the correct speed limit? Or, maybe, it's just my golf cart. Curious minds want to know!

We go 20 mph and get passed a lot. I am guessing it is speeding carts and nothing wrong with yours. Do you have a smartphone? There is an app for the iPhone that checks speed.

Just like on the HiWay...............there are speeders.
Just do your own test with another cart (with speedo), or with a car. You are probably fine and legal. |

I had a good speedometer installed on my cart and if you are only doing 19-20 be prepared to be overtaken by most of the other carts in your vicinity

Your car probably goes more than the speed limit. So do some golf carts.

If you have a smart phone you can download a speedometer app. that will tell you your speed.

More electric than gas
Quote:
Many people think that the gas carts are too smelly. That is because too many people do not know NOT to put regular gas in them. The higher the octane, the hotter it burns. Small engines require the higher octane. Not only do they run cleaner, but smoother. I did not know this until my niece's husband, who works will all kinds of engines, told us. Since then, we only get the higher octane....big difference!

I always believed in seat belts, for safety reasons and had them installed also. I have also seen many people flying around curves and edging to the wrong side of the cart path. Geez, would an extra second to one's trip, tilt the world, off it's axis. I need to get a horn for protection purposes, as I may need to warn someone, they are pulling, a no no. Sorry doesn't cut it with me if I get hurt, due to someone negligence. We all say we are sorry to see someone get badly hurt but these faster carts need to rein in their speed on certain occasions. If one needs to get somewhere faster, take your car. OOP's, I forgot. They have to make their tee times. I lost track of what is really important. My bad................. BTW - Leaving a few minutes earlier would be a excellent idea to make appointments, etc........

If in doubt always look into your owners manual. The engineers who built your cart are pretty smart and you can believe them when they say use reg. gas.
