California law draws a clear line between a standard golf cart and a street-legal Low-Speed Vehicle (LSV, also called a Neighborhood Electric Vehicle or NEV). Under the California Vehicle Code, a golf cart tops out around 15 mph, weighs 1,299 lbs or less unladen, and is exempt from registration — but it can only be driven on roads posted at 25 mph or less within about a mile of a golf course or inside a locally designated golf cart community.
An LSV is a four-wheeled vehicle with a top speed of 20–25 mph and a gross weight under 3,000 lbs. Unlike a basic golf cart, an LSV can be registered and driven on most public roads posted at 35 mph or less (and cross faster roads at intersections), but it is not allowed on freeways or highways.
Laws change and local ordinances vary by city and county, so always confirm the current rules with the California DMV and your local government before driving on public roads. This page is general information, not legal advice.
To be street-legal in California, an LSV must be registered with the DMV, carry a 17-digit VIN, be covered by California-minimum liability insurance, and be operated by someone with a valid driver's license.
It also has to meet federal safety standards, which means factory-installed headlights and taillights, front and rear turn signals, side and rear-view mirrors, a windshield, seat belts for every seat, a parking brake, reflectors, and DOT-approved street tires. Many of our street-legal models ship LSV-ready — call us and we'll confirm which carts qualify for California registration.
Golf carts are a way of life in much of California. The Coachella Valley — Palm Springs, Palm Desert, and the surrounding desert resort communities — is full of golf-cart-friendly neighborhoods, as are coastal spots like Carlsbad and the scenic streets around Carmel.
Whether you want a two-seater for a gated community, a lifted cart for the beach, or a six-passenger LSV for family errands, we can match you with a cart that fits how and where you'll drive in California.
We carry the brands California buyers ask for: Club Car, EZGO, Yamaha, Denago, Evolution, and more — new and used, electric and gas, from two to six passengers, in standard and street-legal LSV configurations.

A standard golf cart is limited to roads posted at 25 mph or less near a golf course or designated community. To drive on most public roads (up to 35 mph), you need a street-legal Low-Speed Vehicle (LSV) that is registered with the DMV and equipped with lights, turn signals, mirrors, seat belts, and a windshield.
A basic golf cart used only near a golf course or in a designated community is exempt from registration. A street-legal LSV must be registered with the California DMV, have a 17-digit VIN, and carry insurance. Always confirm current rules with the DMV.
