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 Connecticut roads posted 25 mph or less.
- LSVs only became street-legal in Connecticut in May 2024 (Public Act 24-20) — the DMV had not yet published an LSV-specific fee schedule as of this review. Call CT DMV before budgeting.
- CT DMV explicitly bars homemade or modified vehicles from LSV registration.
