LSV Golf Cart Conversions in Port Saint Lucie
Turn your regular golf cart into a street-legal vehicle (LSV) that can drive on roads with speed limits up to 35 mph. The Palm Carts team in Port Saint Lucie handles all the changes needed to make your golf cart meet Florida's LSV rules.
Federal LSV Requirements
For a golf cart to qualify as a low-speed vehicle (LSV), it must meet these basic standards:
- Four-wheeled vehicle design
- Top speed between 20-25 miles per hour
- Weight under 2,500 pounds
- Minimum cargo capacity of 80 pounds
Required Safety Features
Making your golf cart street-legal means adding several safety features:
- DOT-approved windshield
- Working turn signals and brake lights
- Side and rear mirrors
- Seat belts for all seats
- Horn and speedometer
- Working windshield wipers
- License plate bracket with light
- VIN number registration
- Proper insurance documentation
A street-legal golf cart opens up new ways to use your vehicle. You can drive to local stores, restaurants, or visit friends without using your car. Many Port Saint Lucie neighborhoods welcome LSVs, making them perfect for quick trips around town.
The conversion process takes about 3-5 days, depending on your golf cart's current setup. Each part gets carefully installed and tested to meet all Florida Department of Transportation rules. After the conversion, you'll get papers showing your cart meets LSV standards, which you'll need for registration.
