If not, I can see a problem as the Polaris Razr's width is 64 in.
My Yamaha Drive is 47.2 in. When driving over the bridge at Sumter Landing it's a close call every time I meet a cart coming from the opposite direction as well as the cart bridge over 27/441.
I also doubt the starters on the golf courses would let you use this kind of cart.

Street legal is the key. The Villages a designated golf cart community. A golf cart in Florida is clearly defined as not capable of speeds in excess of 20MPH. If the vehicles in question do not meet that definition then their legality is questionable. I am not familiar with the vehicles in question but they may qualify as an LSV which requires registration the same as an automobile.

The Florida Department of Motor Vehicles would be best source of information.
