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 Indiana roads posted 35 mph or less.
- County excise and wheel taxes add to the $21.35 registration (MSRP-based, ~$12 minimum).
- Indiana pushes cart rules entirely to town ordinances — the fee you pay is your town's, not the state's.
