Bad things: wider than most carts (getting over 441 bridge a little tight),
Street legal, must buy tags, insurance more extended, seat
belts and windshield wiper blades required and included with street legal,
Gel batteries cost approx $1500, some villagers suggest less
ventilation but we didn't think so, service requires pick up from Bill Bryan in Fruitland Park

We also owned a LC-3 which was my favorite BECAUSE I could store and lock two sets of golf clubs if we should decide to have a bite to eat after golf and not worry about clubs being stolen (which will happen from time to time)

Hope this helps!

Went to the website and don't see the LC-3 model.
How long do you have your GEM's? Do you have gel batteries? Can't find anything on the WWW indicating 7-8 year life. They are mantenance free so no worries about adding water. 72 volt system is hugh and I like the look of the GEM. Also for me its going to be a sub for a car so paying car insurance is a non factor. The cost having a street legal...
