Are you considering a golf cart for more than just the greens? You're in luck! Street-legal golf carts, also known as Low-Speed Vehicles (LSVs) or Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEVs), are the fastest-growing segment in the market. They're a game-changer for getting around gated communities, college campuses, and suburban neighborhoods. But what makes a golf cart "street legal"?
Street-Legal Golf Cart vs. Standard Golf Cart The key difference lies in the safety features and compliance with federal and state laws. To be considered an LSV, a golf cart must have specific equipment, including:
- Headlights, taillights, and brake lights
- Turn signals
- Side mirrors
- A windshield
- Seat belts
- A Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
- A maximum speed of 20-25 mph
