Good to know
- A golf cart tops out at about 20 mph and is not built to a federal road standard. A low-speed vehicle (LSV) is the street-legal class: 4 wheels, 20–25 mph, a 17-digit VIN, and FMVSS 500 safety equipment (lights, mirrors, seat belts, windshield) — allowed on Colorado roads posted 35 mph or less.
- LSVs register like normal cars in Colorado: a $7.20 title plus value- and weight-based ownership tax, so there's no flat rate.
- By statute, cart operators must be 16+, and an unlicensed driver may not carry a passenger under 21 (C.R.S. 42-4-111).
