How exactly does mount speed work?

So I occasionally see people infront of me going my speed when on a mount. All the sudden it's like they kicked it into another gear and move faster. I'm pretty sure it's not lag-related.
But it makes me wonder if spending the money on mount speed is even worth it anymore. I don't feel any faster than I was before I bought the upgrade. I do realize that it's only a tiny boost compared to before, but I just want to feel I'm getting my virtual money's worth.
Is there some sort of trick to making your mount gallop faster than normal when holding down the Shift key? Like, it has to be 10% or higher to do it? I tried repeatably tapping my Shift key, hoping to trigger this sudden boost in speed. But I can't seem to get it.

Sure they arnt using rapid manoeuvre skill? It increases your speed quite considerably.Xbox one EU2 -
Benie✭✭✭I'm not exactly sure. Is that a AoE ability? If so, I would had gotten it too. And I don't remember any of them using it. They just suddenly go faster.--Char info updated as of March 23rd, 2016 - PC NA--

DephlaterMouse✭✭✭Are you sure they didn't just use the Sprint button all of a sudden while riding???USA to New Zealand transplant.0 -
Benie✭✭✭I was holding onto my Sprint button, keeping up with them. Then they just took off. I know what I saw.--Char info updated as of March 23rd, 2016 - PC NA--

AntMan100673✭✭✭What's your mount speed? If theirs is 60 and yours is much less than that then you may have been sprinting and going the same speed as them but they weren't originally sprintingEU - EP - Dunmer - Dragonknight - Magicka DPS - CP160

mount speed makes a huge difference.
rapid maneuvers makes an even bigger difference.0 -
OneWhomWaits✭✭✭Tapping sprint while on rapids with a mount speed of 60 makes an even bigger difference.0 -

✭Mount speed at 60 + rapid maneuvre is almost needed in pvp, because spending 10min to ride up to the where your friends battle with the enemy in slowpoke fashion just to get ganked, spawn at shrine and spend 10min riding up to the battlefield again is not fun.
In pve it's really nice to have, but not needed as it is in pvp.
