I believe those that think electric carts are energy conservation friendly are missing the point. Ride around in an electric cart all day and it is going to need an 8 hour charge overnite. That means plugging in the electric charger and running it all nite. It takes electricity to run the charger but where does the electricity come from and how is it generated?

HMLRHT1 - Yes, I did have to go and get m Tomberlin registered. This is a one-time event. I do keep it insured, just as I kept my golf carts insured. I do not understand the belief that having to have insurance is a big deal. My liabilities are the same whether I am driving a golf cart or a LSV. Accidents, uninsured motorists, vandalism, etc are equally likely in either vehicle.

Insurance costs exactly the same through USAA - $90 every six months.

Curious, can you buy a Tomberlin with 8 six volt batteries?

Also anybody have a Tomberlin with solar panels?
