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 an electric vehicle. The 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 to 6-passenger electric vehicles but Moto Electric also stocks traditional 2-passenger golf carts.
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 electric vehicles are almost twice as fast. Golf carts these days 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 Moto Electric vehicles feature a chassis with high-yield strength welded steel tubing with protective powder-coat paint. Most electric carts come in a variety of body colors to including white, blue and red.
Rules for Energy-Efficient Carts
More and more drivers are being forced to find an alternative means of transportation with rising prices for gasoline at the pumps. That has led many people to the use of street legal golf cart as a primary means of transportation for secondary roads and streets with a maximum speed limit of 35 MPH.

Environ-Friendly Golf Carts
Street-legal golf carts should come with a owner's manual that outlines routine maintenance schedules for keeping your electric vehicle or golf cart operating smoothly and running great for years to come. Whether you are operating on or off the path, it is always important to ensure that your 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 vehicle, your cart's batteries will require 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.
