I am interested as well. I hear that the GEM (unmodified) would be classified as a low speed vehicle (LSV) and under FS 320.01(42) would require tags and insurance which I hear run about $500+ per year. FS 320.01(42) would also apply to any souped-up Par Cars, Club Cars, etc. If the vehicle is "capable" of speeds in excess of 20 mph, FS 320.01(42) applies. I wonder how many souped-up Club Cars are registered.

As a practical matter, I wonder if enforcement is mostly limited to vehicles traveling in excess of 20 mph.
