Jebartle pretty much hit the nail on the head. There are two key/ignition settings, one for golf course and cart lanes (approx. 15 mph) and one for on streets with speed limits up to 35 mph (the GEM does approximately 25 mph and is only legal on streets where the posted speed limit is 35 mph or less).
With the gel batteries you should get approximately 30 miles (range can vary between 25-30 miles depending on load, weather, etc.) on a single charge. It should take 6-8 hours to fully recharge your batteries and it can be done from a standard 110 outlet.
If you are buying pre-owned and you want to make sure it is "golf course legal" make sure that the previous owner has not installed after market tires, as some available tires will tear up the golf course.
We just bought one and my wife loves it!
