What is the Maximum Speed for Club Car Vehicles?
The maximum speed of a golf cart on the course is about 25 miles per hour, but some models have a
much lower top speed. This is because the vehicle needs to be kept as regulated as possible so it doesn’t
lose control. A low maximum speed also helps keep the vehicle quieter and makes it more
environmentally friendly than gas powered cars.
Typically, a Club Car electric has a top speed of around 15 miles per hour. However, it is possible to
achieve a higher top speed by replacing your motor with a faster one. This will increase the amount of
torque produced by your motor, which in turn increases its power and accelerates it faster.
What is the maximum speed for Club Car vehicles that are street legal?
Normally, a Club Car that is not modi'ed can travel on the street at no more than 12-15 miles per hour.
This is because many states have laws limi)ng the amount of speed that a non-modi'ed golf cart can go
on a public road. The same is true for a club car that has been upgraded with a performance motor.
Club Car has recently introduced the Cru, an LSV that looks like a golf cart and goes like a cart on the golf
course, but is also street-legal in most areas with 35 mph speed limits. The company is hoping that the
Cru will be a good 't for communi)es where residents don’t have access to larger, more expensive
electric cars.
