Golf Cart Speed again, eh? Love the entertainment of everyone always getting their panties in a wad over this subject. The reality:

1. Golf cart accidents in the Villages are nil.
2. Multi-Model paths are private property & the police will never patrol private property.
3. Do you really want police chasing golf carts that are going 4 mph over 20 mph - or would you really rather them chase/catch burglars, robbers and shooters and other real criminals?
4. If you like going 19 mph or 20 mph then do so. Quit complaining about those who don’t want to do so - pull over and let them go by if you’re not in a hurry as you say.
5. Gas golf cart’s speed can be adjusted by turning two nuts.
6. Electric golf cart’s speed can be adjusted, too, but it requires programming software and cable for the controller.

Next up - Bikes on the Multi-Model paths and the dangers they present. After that, Pedestrians on the Multi-Model paths - my God, people actually want to walk?

Sheesh! This is all old news. Let it go! Just Share & be Considerate.

The cops are probably not going to stop you if you are going 21.9 mph but of course we all know you are a violent felon in need of a long stay at Coleman if you go over 20 mph! The Star Sirius is a LSV and can be speed adjusted via controller settings. If anyone is looking for a programmable controller then I would suggest Navitas.

The Star Sirius is a vehicle that comes in two configurations, golf cart or LSV. The LSV package includes the required safety equipment and a 25mph top speed.

To answer OP's question in a bit more detail, the newer Star Sirius comes with a Curtis 1236 controller. It's set on Speed Control Express mode with a top speed of 24 mph. If it's switched to Speed Control and Max Speed parameter is increased to 5900 RPM it will go 28 mph. One way to do it is with a 1313-4401 programmer that plugs into the white 4 pin molex connector located beneath the seat near the controller. Programmer costs around $400 on eBay and sometimes on Amazon.

Regarding item 1 saying that golf cart accidents are nil. My wife is a therapist at several rehab centers in The Villages and she says that they always have patients that have been in Golf Cart accidents.

Insurance will be void because max speed on golf cart is 20 mph by Florida Law. LSV max speed 25 mph by Florida law, insure on auto policy, register and tag. Over 25 mph, no insurance and you could go to jail. Say goodbye to your assets when Morgan and Morgan comes after you if you have a claim.

I'm curious where you got your law degree?

Is a law degree required to read the plain language of the Florida statutes and standard insurance policy disclaimers?

Seriously ? If going 24 mph in a golf cart is sooooooooo horrible then going 70 in a car should get you death penalty. Come on people , relax a bit.

[Vinscalese]

I gotta say I am shocked at how agitated some get around this simple question. Going 24 mph in a golf cart to some is punishable by firing squad apparently. lol , if you go 75 mph in your car should your your kids be punished as well after your executed ? Let’s all just calm down a bit maybe ?
