I’ve had both a Yamaha gas and an Atomic electric cart. Both street legal. Street legal carts, or LSVs, need to be insured and plated like a car. My gas cart topped out at 28, the Atomic at 32.

After 8 years of living here, the golf cart path novelty wore off, and I sold my Atomic to buy a second car. I don’t golf and was mostly on the street cart lanes anyway, so it made sense to me. YMMV.

I understand the appeal of a cart, especially if you’re new here or a golfer. If you want a street legal cart, I highly recommend 24-hr cart. They will handle everything for you. Nitial outlay will be about $700 depending on what your cart needs.
