Good to know
- A golf cart tops out at about 20 mph and is not built to a federal road standard. A neighborhood electric vehicle (NEV) 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 New Hampshire roads posted 35 mph or less.
- New Hampshire recognizes NEVs (RSA 259:66-b) rather than a general LSV class; the $42/yr state fee is joined by a town permit fee based on vehicle value.
- New Hampshire doesn't mandate insurance for most vehicles — verify your situation with the DMV.
