A golf cart is not registered as a motor vehicle. It carries no VIN, receives no title, and is not covered by motor vehicle insurance. Golf carts are not legal on most public roads in New York. A Low-Speed Vehicle (LSV) is a federally defined vehicle class. LSVs carry a VIN, go through DMV title and registration, and are built to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards covering seat belts, headlights, mirrors, and horn. An LSV is road-legal on streets where the posted limit is 35 mph or under. The Max-EV 2-door and Max-EV 4-door are both LSVs. If driving on a public road matters to you, those are the models to ask about.

Yes. The Max-EV 2-door and 4-door LSV models are road-legal. They carry a VIN, are titled through the DMV, and meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards for headlights, seat belts, mirrors, and horn. They are legal on roads posted at 35 mph or under. Standard golf carts are not street-legal and cannot be titled or registered as motor vehicles. The Max-EV ORV is also not street-legal. If your primary question is whether you can drive on a public road, ask about the LSV models when you contact us.

Contact us by phone or form with a general sense of what you need. We ask about use case, body style, seating, and what you want on the build. From there we narrow down the spec: color finish, wheel and tire package, audio, lighting, and cargo options. Once the spec is set, we confirm the order and build it. There is no catalog to pick from. Every golf cart comes out of that spec conversation. Full process details are on the Custom Builds page.

Color finish including solid, two-tone, and vinyl wrap. Seat count and upholstery material. Wheel and tire package, with street, turf, and all-terrain options available. Bluetooth audio and weatherproof speaker systems. LED lighting packages including under-glow and headlight upgrades. Windshields and hard or soft enclosures. Cargo flatbeds, tow hitches, and storage add-ons. What is available depends on the base platform. We go through the full option list with you when you contact us.

The Max-EV ORV is a 4-door electric off-road vehicle. It is built for unpaved roads, rough terrain, and outdoor access routes where a standard golf cart or a street-legal LSV would not perform. It runs on an ORV-grade frame with higher ground clearance than a cart or LSV. A cargo dump bed is available for load-carrying use. The ORV is not road-legal. Typical uses include property access, agricultural terrain, and outdoor recreational routes. See full specs on the Max-EV ORV page.
