I think some clarification on this thread is needed...
This is a street legal electric vehicle...
This is not...
There is a distiction somewhere in the law that differentiates what is and is not legal; however, Florida statue states that to be street legal the vehicle must meet the following criteria:
Stop lamps, turn signal lamps, headlamps, taillamps, parking brakes
Rearview mirrors, reflex reflectors, windshields, seat belts, and VIN's
Must be registered and insured in accordance with current regulations (s. 320.02)
The drivers of low speed vehicles must have valid driver?s licenses
By design, a golf cart has a top speed of 14mph (yes, that can be tweaked), but if it doesn't meet the standard of a top speed between 20 - 25mph, it doesn't meet the requirements.
My guess is that if you guys are seeing true golf carts with tags they have either been modified to have all of the above or the people in Walton Co who issue the tags aren't checking.
