Note that unlike your car, the definition is not dependent on how fast the vehicle was actually traveling, it is dependent on how fast the vehicle is capable of traveling.
So, supposedly, a Yamaha gas PTV comes from the factory set at 19.5 mph max speed but will exceed 20 mph going downhill. So with this fact, does that make a stock PTV an LSV?
