For my part, I have always wondered what the attraction is for a LSV.
The Good:
You can cross a road that has a speed limit no greater than 45mph.
You can drive 5mph faster than a cart (up to 25mph)
The Bad:
You can drive 25 mph on a road with speed limit up to 35mph. However that is at least 10mph slower than the cars and pickups flying by you.
Insurance will be as much as a car.
The LSV must be registered and plated just like a car with the accompanying costs.
That being said, the GEM gets less than half of the range of the ParCar.
Also, I believe that the GEM has twice the batteries of a golf cart. (you might verify that). If that is accurate you are paying a heck of a premium to get to go 5 mph faster and occasionally cross a 45mph road.
Best of luck!
