For some reason I remembered hearing about the golf carts several years ago. I have noticed that more and more cities are adding bike paths and bike lanes. That is probably our transportation of the future, like most third-world countries.
It gets wierder, they are exempt from safety regs if top speed is below either 35 or 40 mph if my memory is correct. Big niche market IMHO. Polaris Industries bought a big player in that arena to be at the table. Remember the $7500 electric car rebate snafu w/ a golf cart made in China, when that whole mess passed?
What a mess...
