I expect the bridge over the turnpike to be in around the end of this year, early next year. That will give us access to Brownwood, et al.

So, from what I have seen so far the answer to all that you asked is nope, not yet. If I had to bet, I would say everything will be available before June 2020.

We did consider an Atomic Cart which has a longer range (70 miles) and higher top speed (40?) so could be registered as a LSV and would be allowed on real roads and that would let us get across the turnpike now. We decided to wait for now.

We are in no hurry, we don't Golf (yet) and once everything is in place, we plan to buy a cart and start learning to play.

We knew this before buying and are perfectly happy to wait.

We like new!

You can’t or should I say legally run LSV above 25 MPH and only on roads with 35 MPH speed limit or less.
