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 Idaho roads posted 35 mph or less.
- Idaho registers LSVs on its age-based schedule: $69/yr for a 1–2-year-old vehicle, dropping to $57 (3–6 years) and $45 (7+).
- Neighborhood electric vehicles are exempt from Idaho's $140 EV surcharge — a real saving for electric LSV buyers.
