Choosing a street-legal golf cart means you have more freedom. But it also requires understanding the relevant regulations, modification requirements, and high-quality models, such as the T2 Turfman 700 EEC launched by Tara, which is currently certified for street use.
1. What kind of golf cart is street-legal?
In order for a golf cart to be street-legal, it must meet local regulations for low-speed vehicles (NEV or LSV). Common requirements include:
Lighting system: headlights, taillights, turn signals
Rearview mirrors (left and right and inside the car) and brake lights
Front windshield that complies with traffic regulations
All seats must be equipped with seat belts
Horn, parking brake
Top speed is usually limited to 25 miles (about 40 kilometers)
For example, Tara’s T2 Turfman 700 EEC is a model with an EEC certificate of compliance, which can meet the road driving requirements in some parts of the European Union.
2. Can golf carts be driven on public roads?
The answer is yes, but only if it is allowed in your area. For example, in many states in the United States, roads with speed limits under 35 miles per hour allow legal street-type golf carts to pass. But pay special attention to the following matters:
Local traffic laws on NEVs
Whether registration, insurance or driver’s license is required
Are there any restrictions on the route or special permits required
In essence, a legal golf cart has changed from a “field transportation tool” to a true “road vehicle”.
3. How to convert an ordinary golf cart to a road-legal one?
The following modifications need to be installed:
Full set of lighting system (headlights, brake lights, turn signals)
Rearview mirrors (left and right + interior)
Seat belts for all seats
DOT-certified windshield
Horn and reflective stickers
Ensure the brake system is compliant
Adjust the speed limit to less than 25 miles per hour
However, personal modification is difficult and may affect the original factory warranty. Therefore, it is more worry-free and safe to choose a model such as Tara T2 Turfman 700 EEC that is compliant from the factory.
4. Why choose Tara’s T2 Turfman 700 EEC?
