Road Legal in Central Florida?
Hello all
This is my first ever post here to please be gentle with me :) First off hello to everyone, I only found this forum last night but I am glad I did, looks really great and love looking at everyone's carts! OK need some help please, I recently started using my golf cart around my community here in central Florida and discovered that I am not allowed to use it on a public road....so I took it home and its been in the garage since! So doing some Googling I discovered Street Legal Golf Carts...then I discovered this forum. Yippee for both :) I have a gas powered Club Car, its around maybe 8 years old if I had to guess and it runs quite well and I look after it and would like to do a conversion myself to make it street legal if I can. Has anyone done this themselves here before? I keep seeing electric carts converted street legal but not many Gas carts, am I am allowed to convert a gas cart? Any advice for a complete newbie at all this please? Thank you all Stuart |

"I have a gas powered Club Car, its around maybe 8 years old if I had to guess and it runs quite well and I look after it and would like to do a conversion myself to make it street legal if I can."
Sorry I missed this before... you can only get your cart Street Legal in Florida if it's electric, not gas. There has been mention here in the past that a couple of individuals got theirs approved by the DMV having gas carts but the actual Florida status specifies Electric Only. |

Re: Road Legal in Central Florida?
If thats the case about only being electric, then couldnt you just register it as a kit car, or "sand railesc" vehicle? And if so, what are the requirements for such a vehicle?
How about this scenerio, an electric 02 ezgo txt, converted to gas. It was previously electric, so can it be registered as an LSV? (legit responses please) |

Re: Road Legal in Central Florida?
Ive been looking through Florida statutes and found this. Theres not a clarification as to the requirements of this class, but it might be my loop hole. Does anyone have any knowledge on this statute?
(45) "Mini truck" means any four-wheeled, reduced-dimension truck that does not have a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration truck classification, with a top speed of 55 miles per hour, and which is equipped with headlamps, stop lamps, turn signal lamps, taillamps, reflex reflectors, parking brakes, rearview mirrors, windshields, and seat belts. http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/...0320/Sec01.HTM |
