Set up with proper max speed restriction and tires i would think these would qualify.

The biggest factor would be can it go through a tunnel, just about any trip requires going through a tunnel. A Yamaha gas cart is 47" wide, 94" length, 71" high, other than the length, it looks like your vehicle will fit. A Yamaha cart will hold about 6 gallons and gets about 40 to 50 mpg, that tank is less than 2 gallons, might be cutting your trips a bit short. Your HP 8.2 , a Yamaha cart is about 11 HP. It would probably work, but a golf cart is so much better suited. As far speed, golf carts without a license tag and to operate on the street cart lanes are limited to 20 mph by state law, anything faster is consider an LSV (Low Speed Vehicle) and requires a license tag and full car insurance. Since yours goes 35 and won't have a tag, it might catch the eye of a cop if you're going flat out. Dialing back the speed and changing out the tires would probably be necessary. |

Not appropriate

A good question is why , just the need to be different, when golf carts are designed for golf if you need it for other reasons I can’t think of one.
|
Probably get stopped by golf course employee or ambassador if you don't change those tires.

I love it and say go for it!

Tires

What about noise, I think they seem really loud to me.

The problem is not the cart paths, it is the fairways.
What is the “Tire Policy”? Tires on the golf cars to be used on any of The Villages fairways must meet these requirements: The manufacturer of the tire must refer to the tire as a “golf course tire”. The tires must have a rounded vertical tread with a maximum depth of 1⁄4 inches. Total tire width must be a minimum of 8 inches. Tire pressure must not exceed 28 psi. Quote:

So where will you take it for maintenance?
|
With a gas tank size of 1.75 gal, suggest you buy a house next to a gas station and buy towing insurance.
|
Asking a qquestion like that on here will result in opinions. If that is all you want, that is OK. If you are looking for more, I suggest that you attend your district meeting.

We drive these when we go back to Colorado on daughters ranch. A hell of a lot of fun on a cattle drive. Be smart and just get you a Yamaha gas Quiet Tech and be happy too. |
Seems like every six months, someone will ask about using an UTV in TV. Just last November another poster asked the same question and it also got to 3 pages.
https://www.talkofthevillages.com/fo...ght=cart+paths He wanted to use this, maybe the OP can send a private message to this poster and find out what happened. https://www.talkofthevillages.com/fo...t-img_0043-jpg |

Who cares if it’s legal? You can out run the cops by cutting across the golf course. They’ll never follow you.

Do they make amphibious with electric power?

This seems ambiguous to me. Could the manufacturer of either of these fine vehicles just limit the speed, replace the tires (which, as one previous poster helpfully said, the manufacturer must designate as golf cart tires), and remarket it as a golf cart, because then would be a golf cart. But then, I've long since given up on applying logic to legal matters as a fruitless battle. |
For sure because we don't have enough options now
