Wrong.

If the vehicle is capable of going faster than 25mph then it is NOT an LSV. FS 320.01(41)

The chances of getting caught may be low but become greater if you announce on social media that you are operating such a vehicle, particularly if you call out the business that sold it.

If it *can* go no more than 25mph then it can be considered a low speed vehicle (LSV) and does require registration.
If it *does* go 27mph then it is neither a golf cart nor an LSV. I don't know what Florida would consider it to be but it would certainly require registration if it was allowed on the roads at all.

Perhaps the 27mph vehicle *is* registered
Perhaps the 27mph vehicle was operated *only* on private property and not on the MMPs (since it would require operation on public roads to get to the MMPs)
Perhaps the 27mph was an exaggeration
In any case, being careful is a good idea.

I recently read this is the excact reason the built the supermax in Colorado. You have been warned!

They’re all capable.
So not breaking law going over 25 MPH in LSV. ON street? Wow no wonder no one get tickets in villages.

Last time I checked I was living in TV surrounded by millionaires with fancy European and muscle cars, and a golf car is just another toy, and cost is no issue. We buy what we want because we can. When you're dead your bank account no longer matters

Thanks for pointing this out, it was a typo, fixed it in the original post.

My range is 70-75 miles. I live as far north in The Villages as you can get - just off hwy 42 near the VA in Phillips Villas. I've taken it down to play Southern Oaks. After driving there, playing 18, and driving back, I still had 25% battery left.

Botero Carts is located in Ocala. They deliver the cart to you, and have mobile cart service. They are located in 5 states now, have 5 star ratings from all of those locations, and only deal in Evolution for new cart sales.

I understand there will be an Evolution new cart dealer near Brownwood by the end of March so service should be a little easier.

Thanks for the info. It looks like they are about 50 miles away, so delivery is important.
