Commonly referred to as LEVs, low speed electric vehicles are proving popular in areas where speeds are restricted and where noise control and air quality are important to those nearby. These areas include:

· Neighborhoods with children

· Retirement communities

· Golf course communities

· Resorts and resort communities

· Amusement parks

· Factory, warehousing and distribution facilities

· Airports

· Military bases

· Schools, colleges and universities

· Construction sites

· Film and television production sets

Low speed electric vehicles evolved from the increased use of golf carts as a way to putter around neighborhoods over the past few decades. Drivers in planned neighborhoods sought an easy way to visit neighbors and friends and make trips to community parks and pools without having to use their full cars and trucks. Golf carts proved an almost perfect choice, as they were far more fuel efficient and quieter, but lacked safety features such as seat belts, horns, brake and tail lamps and windshield wipers.

Federal laws now require that low speed electric vehicles have all the basic safety features, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration allows low speed electric vehicles, neighborhood electric vehicles, electric utility vehicles and street legal golf carts to operate on city streets and roadways with posted speed limits of up to 35 miles per hour.

Not only are low speed electric vehicles a major step up from golf carts in safety features, they also offer improved functionality and style. At GatorMoto UV in Jacksonville, FL, low speed electric vehicles range from the two-passenger or four-passenger, open Bubble Buddy perfect for couples and families to a 22-passenger shuttle that's great for transporting guests around resorts, amusement parks and other tourist spots. Our 14-passenger, enclosed Electro Transit Buddy, plus a 15-passenger shuttle that pulls a 14-passenger trailer are designed specifically for parking lot shuttle operations. Other options include light duty payload utility vehicles with lifts for gardeners and maintenance personnel; delivery LEVs with insulated boxes that work beautifully for resort room service operations; and open shuttle LEVs (including two styled after antique Roadsters of the 1910s and 1920s) that offer easy entry and stylish travel for guests of resorts, amusement parks, office and school camuses and more. Several of our GatorMoto UV low speed electric vehicles are outfitted specifically for security, police and medical emergency functions.

Low speed electric vehicles plug into any standard electrical outlet and cost pennies on the dollar in energy costs compared to full size vehicle fuel costs. LEVs emit much less carbon gas than do gasoline-fueled vehicles and many qualify for federal and state tax benefits. In some states, low-speed electric vehicles are subject to the same regulatory requirements as other vehicles operating on public roads, so you'll need to check with your state agency to learn insurance, licensing and vehicle emissions inspection requirements.
