Question re: GEM electric vehicles
 
Are they allowed on cart paths?

Yes But
 
Cart paths are usually those paths on the golf courses.

Paths, trails, lanes or whatever other than on the golf courses are called multi modal trails, paths, lanes or whatever. In both cases the LEV's are permitted, sharing with pedestrians, bicyclists, rollerbladers, small motor scooters, dog walkers, and lots of golf carts.

Although permitted, they are too wide for a lot of the trails north of 466.
Of course they do not need to use those trails as they are permitted on the street.

I also believe the LEV's are equipped with a switch that must be in a position limiting them to 15MPH on the golf course.

They must also have approved tires for the golf course.

downeaster: I think you mean LSV (Low Speed Vehicle) or NEV (Neighborhood Electric Vehicle]...or I could be mistaken...and I agree with your response FWIW...

Mixing my metaphors?
 
You are correct, John. Unfortunately Spell Check doesn't catch that kind of mistake.:oops:
