Low Speed Vehicles (LSV)

A Low Speed Vehicle (LSV) is a class of motor vehicle defined by federal law with a top speed between 20 and 25 mph, required to meet NHTSA federal safety standards including headlamps, stop lamps, turn signals, tail lamps, windshields, and seatbelts. LSVs are street-legal on public roads posted at 35 mph or less — ideal for neighborhoods, communities, and campus environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Low Speed Vehicle and how is it regulated?

An LSV is a federal class of motor vehicle with a top speed of 20–25 mph that must meet NHTSA safety standards — headlamps, stop lamps, turn signals, tail lamps, mirrors, a windshield, seat belts, and a 17-digit VIN. Meeting those standards is what makes an LSV street legal. Related: What makes a cart street legal

What top speed must a low speed vehicle reach to be road legal?

A compliant LSV must be capable of 20–25 mph; that range separates it from a slower golf cart and keeps it within the federal LSV definition. Many electric carts can be ordered or upgraded to hit this range. Related: Electric golf carts, Gas golf carts

Can low speed vehicles be powered by gas as well as electric?

Yes — LSVs come in both electric and gas configurations, so you can choose based on range, terrain, and how you'll use the cart. Our team can help you match the powertrain to your needs. Related: Browse inventory, Electric Vehicles

Do I need to register and insure a low speed vehicle?
