They are most definitely NOT.

I think you may be confusing "Smart (brand) electric cars" with the LEGAL GOLF CARTS that look like Smart (brand) electric cars. There are "Smart" brand electric cars (made by Mercedes Benz) that are not allowed on any path, then there are the GOLF CARTS that CLOSELY RESEMBLE Smart(brand) electric cars and are required to follow all golf cart laws, rules & regs and are air conditioned and can legally go anywhere you go in your Yamamamahah. They even are often seen ON the golf courses. One is a LEGAL golf cart , the other a LICENSED VEHICLE that can go 80mph. The "golf cart" CAN be made street legal just like any other regular golf cart you see running down Morse or BV except this one has A/C, heat & wipers and power windows etc etc.. Most are NOT street legal and are no different than a golf cart and in fact are SMALLER than MANY golf carts. You shouldn't let them worry you unless you see a Smart (brand) electric Vehicle cruising down the MMP at 60MPH. Some newbies and snowbirds have accidentally ended up on the MMP's with real cars. We recently saw a Cadillac trying to get through the LSL tunnel.
