Also hasn't the insurance for a Street legal much hicher than a non legal crt? All things to consider. We have a 2008 Ez-Go, We live as far west as the villages go and we have only gotten close to "empty" once when we both needed it for golf one day. Take it for what it is.
Hi Salybow

As a courtesy to cars, we usually will move to cart path but return to street....Yes, street legal carts need to be registered ($50) and insured (Safeco $101/yr) and for that, you have the dubious honor of going 5 mph more than other carts..
