Have you increased the speed of your golf cart?

[The Villages Guy]

Thinking of adjusting the governor on our 2016 Yamaha golf cart to get us a few more miles per hour.

Are most people leaving them as is from the factory or are y'all adjusting them a bit?

I bought a used Gem Cart 2 yrs ago and it was already adjusted.

Do some research before you do this, possible downsides:
1. If (or when) you have an accident, you may find you do not have insurance coverage.
2. If the police find your cart is capable of greater then 20 mph, big fines, court date, points, tickets, etc. You are driving an unregistered Low Speed Vehicle.
3. You are retired, slow down enjoy the ride.

Finally, you can do a search on this site, there have been several cases reports of the above fines and court appearances, etc.

I want the fast zero to 60 (20 mph) over the faster cart. Its what makes carts faster, acceleration. If you can, get that tuned. It would make the small hills fun.

[The Villages Guy]

I was just thinking 22-23 mph.

Is the risk worth the benefit? If you feel your cart is too slow, maybe something is off and you aren't doing 20 (it just says it is).

Yes sir, I'm only here about six months myself so The things your thinking about I had on my mind a short time back. There are fantastic core people here who will treat you like family or better. Back to the cart. Reality is 20 M.P.H. is just fine, a little more or a little less is really no big deal but you will have to see for yourself that the majority of people here are in a mystical, hysterical hurry for no reason. It's a free side show, the line at CVS, the supermarket the movies is like something from Boca Del Vista. Lots of huffing and puffing. If you need a hand PM me. Take Care. :thumbup:

I would rethink it although in my 4+ years here I have noticed more carts go faster than 20mph than not. Especially on the multimodal paths. On the streets they seem to be a little more reserved about their speed, (the key word it little). Anyway it is ultimately your decision to risk the consequences noted in earlier responses.
