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.

Which, btw, made both of them illegal, since LSVs, by law, cannot be capable of exceeding 25 mph.
Section 320.01(41), Florida Statutes, defines LSVs as “any four-wheeled vehicle whose top speed is greater than 20 miles per hour, but not greater than 25 miles per hour.” LSVs must be registered, titled and insured with personal injury protection (PIP) and property damage liability (PDL) insurance. Any person operating an LSV must have a valid driver license in their immediate possession.
