The typical top speed for an electric golf cart is 20 to 25 miles per hour. Some models have speed controllers or chips that can be modified to increase the speed.

If you are using your golf cart on private property, you do not need to register it with the state; however, if you plan to drive it on public roads, registering it is required.
