Edit: TIL Reddit doesn't support 60fps videos. R.I.P

The Dolphin emulator wiki's 60fps boards code apparently works for Moped Mayhem as well, which is the only minigame in the game that runs at 30fps by default. This results in the game running twice as fast, but it actually feels a lot BETTER at this speed, as well as the gameplay being butter smooth rather than jittery, to the point where I wonder if the decision to lock the minigame at 30 was done late in development.

Note that if you plan on trying this yourself, I wouldn't recommend doing it on actual hardware as the game will lag like crazy and probably overwork your Wii. If running on Dolphin, you'll want to make use of the overclocking feature. I'd suggest a minimum of 120% clock speed for courses 1 and 2, and 140% clock speed for course 3, as this is usually enough to stop most of the lag. Course 3 in particular definitely WILL NOT work on real hardware.

The Dolphin wiki has a gecko code that forces the game to run at 60fps at all times, due to board gameplay normally running at 30fps. However, the minigame Moped Mayhem also runs at 30 normally, and the code affects that as well. Unfortunately, attempting to run it on hardware would yield poor results due to the minigame lagging significantly when forced to run at 60, but using Dolphin's CPU clock rate override you can make the game run smoothly.

Thought I'd showcase what 60fps gameplay of this minigame looks like, since I couldn't find footage of it anywhere. It works surprisingly well, to the point where it makes me wonder if the game being knocked down to 30fps was decided later into development, and they didn't adjust the speed of the gameplay to compensate.
