Abstract

A speed control device for a small-sized vehicle includes a centrifugal governor for generating a thrust corresponding to a centrifugal force generated by a wheel of the vehicle and a link mechanism for operatively connecting the centrifugal governor to a throttle valve and braking mechanism of the vehicle so that the throttle valve and braking mechanism may be operated in a correlationship by the thrust of the governor.
