Riverside County to allow electric carts

[mosslager]

Just saw a spread on the news that Riverside just passed a bill to allow electric golf cart type vehicles in the 45 and under zoned areas. Not sure of all the fine print that goes with it and rules, but whats the chance of tricking out one of the new Ranger EV's with LT and the goods and hopping up that electric motor and getting it to be legal?

Heres a link

There are actually two models; the EV and the EV LSV. The LSV already comes with turn signals, DOT tires, windshield, etc. They are already legal in most states on roads marked 35 and below as long as the vehicle doesn't go over 25 mph. Good catch on the article because the 45 mph thing makes it more practical because it opens up more roads.

That could be fun. Thinking a brushless motor and lipo batteries.

This is really interesting. One of our sponsors here on UTVUnderground Epic Electric Vehicles specializes in making Electric Powered Wake Boats, On-Road Cars (which Magnum Offroad helped develop) and a new off road electric Powered buggy. This buggy could be a fun option for on road use! Their TORQUE on road 3 wheel car is a ROCKET!!!

To qualify it has to have a top speed of 25mph! I hope our sponsors cars are faster

MY ELECTRIC GOLFCART SHOULD QUALIFY. IT IS WAAAAYYYY SLOW.
