It's about a new kind of freedom—and we're here to help you navigate it.
At Easyride Golfcars, we've seen firsthand how these versatile vehicles are changing lives, one neighborhood at a time.

Let's dive into everything you need to know about this exciting new trend.
The Street Legal Revolution: Why Golf Carts Are More Than Just for the Course
The "golf cart" of yesterday has evolved into a sophisticated, road-ready low-speed vehicle (LSV). But what exactly makes a golf cart street legal? It's all about safety features and compliance. Think of it as a small car built for short, local trips. A true street legal golf cart must be equipped with essential components like headlights, taillights, turn signals, brake lights, a horn, rearview mirrors, and seat belts.
These features aren't just for show—they're what allow you to drive on public roads with speed limits typically under 35 mph, a classification known as a low-speed vehicle (LSV). The convenience is undeniable. Imagine leaving your car in the garage for quick trips to the grocery store, the local coffee shop, or a neighbor's house. It's a game-changer for suburban and resort communities.
From Fairway to Freeway: The Real-World Benefits of Owning an LSV
The appeal of a street legal golf cart extends far beyond the convenience of a quick run to the store. The experience of owning and driving one is a lifestyle choice.
- Eco-Friendly and Economical: Forget the high price of gas. With a gas or electric golf cart, your fuel costs plummet. Electric models can be charged at home for just pennies, while modern gas-powered Yamaha golf carts offer incredible fuel efficiency. It’s a win for your wallet and the environment.
- A New Level of Community: These vehicles foster a sense of connection. The open-air design encourages you to wave to neighbors and soak in the scenery. They are perfect for family outings, with custom options to accommodate your whole crew.
- Easy to Maintain: Compared to a car, street legal golf carts are simple to maintain. Regular checks on the battery, tires, and lights are often all that's needed to keep them running smoothly for years. Plus, at Easyride Golfcars, our service departments in both Ballground, GA, and Mission, TX, are equipped to handle any maintenance or repair needs you may have.
Navigating the Rules: Your State-by-State Guide to Street Legal Golf Cart Laws
(This is where we demonstrate our authority and provide actionable, helpful information.)
One of the most common questions we get at Easyride Golfcars is, "Can I drive my golf cart on the road?" The answer depends on your location. While the core LSV requirements are similar, specific state and local laws can vary.
- Georgia Golf Cart Laws: In Georgia, a golf cart can be driven on public roads if it is a Personal Transportation Vehicle (PTV) and has a valid GA PTV permit. The roads must have a speed limit of 35 mph or less. You'll need to have a valid driver's license, and the PTV must be properly equipped with lights, turn signals, and a horn.
- Texas Golf Cart Laws: In Texas, street legal golf carts must be registered as a Low-Speed Vehicle (LSV) and be equipped with the necessary safety features. They can be operated on public roads with a posted speed limit of 35 mph or less. Drivers must hold a valid driver's license.
Important Note: Laws can change. Always check with your local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or city ordinances to ensure you are in full compliance. Our expert team at Easyride Golfcars is well-versed in both Georgia and Texas regulations and can guide you through the process of making your new or used golf cart street legal.
