Default LSV's at TV?

How are LSV's accepted at TV. Are they allowed on the cart paths? If yes, what if they are licensed? Anyone have one?

Yes. Nobody registers LSV to go maximum 25 mile per hour. Nobody, 30 plus majority.

Polaris GEMs are a bad idea, they literally take up at least 50% of the already narrow MMP crossing the Lake Sumter bridge creating a very dangerous situation.

Legally, LSVs must be licensed.

I have seen many golf carts with state license plates on them - I don't know if they were LSVs or not. I suspect I have encountered LSVs with plates, LSVs without plates, modified golf carts without plates, and golf carts with plates.

Another post gave a 2010 determination that LSVs are allowed on the cart paths. I have not seen anything official disputing that.

Thanks, I didn't realize they were that much wider. What about lifted carts with wide wheels?

Probably OK in newer southern areas with wider paths and higher tunnels, but would be an issue in the northern sections. You can see all the scraps on the roofs of the tunnels north of 466 off of Buena Vista.

My advice to a person planning on moving to the Villages and purchasing a vehicle for the multimodal paths is to gather as much information as you can. But wait to make a purchase after spending some time here renting a cart and riding on the paths. What looks cool from afar might not be a good fit for your use in TV.

I still like my cart in post #2 on your other thread. I never use the air because I have lots of air flow and installed a metalized radiant barrier under the metal roof.
