Step 1 · Use
Where it will actually be driven.
What we do, in detail
Carts and low-speed vehicles, street-legal work, custom builds, and service.
Program 01 · Know which you bought
Carts and LSVs
The two look identical in a showroom and they are not the same thing in law. A golf cart tops out at 20 mph, needs no title, no plate and no compulsory insurance, and belongs on roads approved for carts. A low-speed vehicle runs 20 to 25 mph and is a motor vehicle: title, registration, insurance, a licensed driver, roads posted 35 mph or less. We put which one you are getting in writing, because owners who were never told end up finding out from a deputy.
Step 2 · Category
Cart or LSV, decided by that.
Step 3 · Paperwork
What it will and will not need.
Step 4 · Handover
Written, not verbal.
Step 1 · Inspect
Speed, chassis, brakes, VIN.
Step 2 · Verdict
Reachable or not, plainly.
Step 3 · Equip
To the standard, not to taste.
Step 4 · Paperwork
Prepared, then filed by you.
Program 02 · Title, or nothing
Street-legal work
Street legal is not a kit of lights. A machine presented as a low-speed vehicle has to meet the federal standard for one: headlamps, turn signals front and rear, taillamps, stop lamps, reflectors, mirrors, a parking brake, a conforming windshield, a seat belt at every seat, and a vehicle identification number. Then it has to be capable of title in fact. If your cart cannot get there, you will hear that before we take any money, not after.
Program 03 · Speed changes the law
Custom builds
This is the fun part and it carries the trap. A motor swap, a controller, new gearing, even taller tires can push a cart past 20 mph, and at that moment it stops being a golf cart in law and becomes an unregistered, uninsured motor vehicle sitting in your yard. We tell you what a given change does to top speed before we fit it. Past 25 mph there is no category at all, and we will not call such a build street legal.
Step 1 · The idea
What you want it to be.
Step 2 · The effect
What it does to top speed.
Step 3 · The choice
Stay a cart, or become an LSV.
Step 4 · Build
Brakes and steering to match.
Step 1 · Check
Brakes, steering, tires, lamps.
Step 2 · Report
What is worn and what is unsafe.
Step 3 · Fix
Safety items before extras.
Step 4 · Test
Driven before it goes back.
Program 04 · Brakes before speed
Service and batteries
Carts get driven by families on public roads at the speed of traffic in a residential street, which is a different duty of care from eighteen holes. Brakes, steering, tires and lights come before anything that makes it quicker. Battery and charger work is done to the manufacturer specification, including lithium conversions, because an improvised pack and a mismatched charger is a fire in a garage attached to a house.
