Don’t e bikes , bicycles, scooter have to abide by the same 20 mph speed limit on MMP? Last edited by Topspinmo; 09-21-2023 at 01:57 PM. |

1. It is not a public road 2. There is no posted limit 3. There is no one to enforce a limit even if there was one I have once been behind a bicycle that kept up a speed approaching 20mph. Bicycles (including e-bikes) barreling down the MMPs at 35mph just don't seem to be a common occurrence.

I must have lost that lottery - neither of mine reach 23mph without the aid of a hill.

Insurance
That's my point, all the concern about liability for golf carts going over 20 mph, if you register a cart as a LSV and insure it as such does that make it safer at the higher speeds or just make the ins co. more $. Also to my point if you are hit by a e-bike going 20 plus you better have good health insurance.

.......What is going on right NOW is the worst possible situation where the golf carts are NOT ALL going at the SAME average speed. So, its chaos to both the bicycle rider and the pedestrian. A bicycle is light and can DODGE out of the way of an accident - whereas a golf cart can NOT BECAUSE IT IS TOO heavy AND HAS TOO HIGH OF A CENTER OF GRAVITY. That's why all golf carts should drive under 20 MPH. Another reason is that Golf Carts are heavy and have a high center of gravity (gas ones do) so they do NOT stop well and their brakes are made for golf course braking, not on streets.

And some people only want to squeeze another 5mph out of a golf cart, might as go all the way.
