Hello,

The top speed is limited by the engine computer, governor limited.
It cannot be changed by adjusting the bolt under gas pedal. The limit is there so that the vehicle can be operated safely within that speed, it is not recommended to change the top speed as it is a safety issue.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
