Florida Law:

320.01 Definitions, general.--As used in the Florida Statutes, except as otherwise provided, the term:

(42) "Low-speed vehicle" means any four-wheeled electric vehicle whose top speed is greater than 20 miles per hour but not greater than 25 miles per hour, including neighborhood electric vehicles. Low-speed vehicles must comply with the safety standards in 49 C.F.R. s. 571.500 and s. 316.2122.
Jimbo, that’s the difference between a "golf cart” and an “LSV” (otherwise referred to as a “street legal cart”). A golf cart that is capable of exceeding 20 mph is considered an “LSV” and has to be registered (and insured) as such, which was the point that Indy was making.
