Most electric golf carts run on a max speed of 12MPH. It all depends on the voltage. The higher the voltage, the faster the speed. Most electric carts out there run on either a 36 or 48 volt operating system and can only last about 20-25 miles per each charge.
There are some new carts coming to market that are able to travel faster and possibly on less energy and can go up to 19 MPH. Many of the latest models are operated by computers and have quite a few high quality and unique components compared to older trolleys and carts. If you want or need something faster, they are worth look into.

I have a 96 EZ GO gas golf cart with loose steering. What parts are normally needed to correct this problem and are special tools required for me to replace the parts.
Thanks,

so many possibilities...
does it roll fairly freely? (checking to see if the brakes or rearend seized up)
Are there any "bad" sounds like things grinding? (Connection between Motor and rearend, axle splines...)
If all that is solid, it is likely in the controller.... (it takes a solid charge right... No bad batteries in there or loose connection? might want to check all the battery connections to make sure none are burnt...)
1997.. does it have the electonic speed control by that year? the other possibilty is that the accelerator is not working corectly. they used a resistor system on old ones that has contactors that would get worn out.... Newer ones control a potentiometer(sp) that controlled the speed.
Only a few real components to check, but if you are not mechanically and electically inclined, could be tough to isolate.

Yes you cann speed up your electric golf cart normally if it's a 48 volt cart with one of our high speed motor it'll increase your mph to 25 if your trying to go faster than 25 than a bigger amp controller get you into the 30's mph
