Street-Legal Golf Carts
What “Street-Legal” Means
Street-Legal vs. Standard Golf Carts
A standard golf cart is built for private property and golf communities. A street-legal setup typically includes additional safety equipment required for road use in many areas.
Rules vary by city and state, so the best approach is simple: choose a cart with the right equipment—and confirm local requirements before driving on public roads.

Why Lithium Matters
Smarter Power for Street-Legal Driving
Lithium batteries change how a street-legal golf cart performs—especially for daily, on-road use.
Compared to traditional lead-acid batteries, lithium power delivers a lighter, more efficient system designed for consistency, range, and long-term reliability. That difference matters when you’re driving on neighborhood streets, coastal roads, and local routes.
Longer-lasting performance
Lithium batteries are designed to maintain consistent power output over time, helping deliver smoother acceleration and dependable range.
Faster charging
Lithium systems typically recharge more quickly, so your cart is ready when you are.
Lower maintenance
No water levels, corrosion checks, or frequent battery replacements—just reliable, low-maintenance power.
Lighter weight
Reduced battery weight can improve handling, efficiency, and overall ride quality—especially important for street-legal carts.
Built for modern driving
Lithium power supports advanced features and electronics commonly found in today’s street-legal golf carts.
