the correct speed is 19 miles per hour. The carts going faster have fiddled with them to go faster. Of course if they get in accident they will be fined a have fixed the cart to go 19 again. These carts are top heavy and do turn over easily!

We took our brand new 4 seater club car out and floored, it was doing 19 mph according to my speed app on the phone. We were regularly being driven up on and/or being left behind. Are we extraordinarily slow? I thought 20 was the max speed on the multimodals?

2 for 0mph is the maximum speed for a golf cart according to federal law. If you drive a cart that can go over 20mph on a public road, you can be ticketed for driving an unregistered motor vehicle. Around $250 plus a trip to court, where they will make you take the cart to a mechanic to certify that it can go no faster than 20mph. It doesn't matter if you were driving below 20mph or not. If you get into an accident, your fault or not, you cart may be checked by the police to see if has been tampered with to go above 20mph. And you cart insurance will not cover you if it can.

All that being said, their are loads of unregistered motor vehicles in The Villages. Most are gas carts with their governors altered. There are some "street legal" electric carts around, which are licensed and insured with added equipment. My cart can not go faster than 20mph, but I constantly get passed by idiots that come up to my bumper from nowhere and pass me going 2 or 3 mph faster.
