PURPOSE: A governor system for a gasoline-powered vehicle is provided to limit the maximum vehicle speed with a simple structure and a few parts, to protect an engine, and to easily regulate a total speed range. CONSTITUTION: A governor system for limiting a movement range of a throttle(22) to regulate the rotational speed of a drive axle(16) comprises a governor shaft(110) rotatably supported by the drive axle and operably interconnected to the drive axle for varying a feedback torque of the governor shaft according to the rotational speed of the drive axle; a governor arm(112) fixed to the governor shaft to rotate together with the governor shaft; a throttle cable(28) interconnected with the governor arm for applying a first pulling force to the throttle as the governor arm rotates; and an accelerator cable(26) resiliently connected with the governor arm to supply a second pulling force to the governor arm to induce the rotation of the governor shaft for applying a torque on the governor shaft. The rotational speed of the drive axle is regulated by balancing the torque with the feedback torque of the governor shaft for limiting the first pulling force.
