I would suggest anyone thinking about doing that to check with the authorities first. Florida is very harsh when it comes to vehicle laws.
Also if the vehicle was stopped, try and prove it to the officer that it has been adjusted to a lower speed.
HihoHiho it's off to court we go |
Let's take the Star car for an example. The exact same cart is used for both golf cart usage as well as street legal. To make it a street legal vehicle they add a few safety items and crank its top-end speed up to 25 MPH. Are the safety items the things that require registration? I don't think so. It's the speed. Hence, to down-convert to a golf cart, all you would have to do is crank down the speed. What's a cop going to do, give you a ticket for having seat belts on an unregistered golf cart? I don't think so.
