Street-Legal Electric Vehicles
Street-legal electric vehicles from Moto Electric Vehicles make a perfect addition to any neighborhood or golf course community garage. The growth of communities with posted speed limits of 35 MPH or less has proven that the golf cart has applications well beyond those of hauling around a golfer's clubs. These days, everyone is getting in on the fun and efficiency of driving a street-legal electric vehicle. The street legal golf cart provides a convenient and economical means of transportation for historic areas, beach communities, mountain resorts, medical facilities, university campuses, church complexes, municipal neighborhoods and golf course communities across the United States. Street legal golf carts are typically 4-passenger to 6-passenger low-speed electric vehicles but Moto Electric Vehicles also stocks traditional 2-passenger golf carts as well as 2-passenger street-legal electric vehicles.
The same rules that regulate the use of electric low-speed vehicles (LSVs) and neighborhood electric vehicles (NEVs) also apply to operating a street legal golf cart on public highways and private neighborhood streets. When compared to the conventional golf course cart, today's street legal electric vehicles are almost twice as fast. A street legal golf cart will allow you to cruise at 25 MPH on local roadways with a posted speed limit of 35 MPH or less. At Moto Electric Vehicles, we've equipped thousands of owners with an environmentally-friendly alternative to more expensive fossil-fuel burning vehicles that provide transportation for the same day-to-day tasks. All street-legal electric vehicles feature a chassis with high-yield strength welded steel tubing with protective powder-coat paint. Most low-speed electric carts come in a variety of body colors to include white, blue and red.
Rules for Energy-Efficient Vehicles

Street Legal Golf Carts For Sale
Street-legal golf carts for sale should come with a vehicle's Owner Manual that outlines routine maintenance schedules for keeping your low-speed electric vehicle or golf cart operating smoothly and running great for years to come. Whether you are operating a street legal golf cart on or off the path, it is always important to ensure that your electric vehicle's tires are properly inflated per your operating manual. Under-inflated tires are one of the most common causes of rollover accidents. Such instances can be easily prevented with a commitment to routine inspection of your electric utility vehicle. To ensure trouble-free operation of your neighborhood electric vehicle, your street-legal golf cart's batteries will require the most routine maintenance.
Inspecting Golf Cart Batteries
Before each outing, it is a good idea to visually inspect each of the six (6) 8V150Ah lead acid batteries looking for cracks or leaks in the battery's case. Routine inspections can provide miles of smooth, efficient operations on or off the road. Moto Electric vehicles feature headlights, taillights, turn signals and brake lights for legal use on all roadways with a posted speed limit of 35 MPH or less. That makes our fleet of street legal golf carts a perfect means of transportation for family outings, sports events or cruising around the neighborhood.
