Florida is up to 30 owners.

Florida has many golf cart communities like "The Villages." Golf carts are the main form of transportation around these places. I'll bet someone is has already tried to get the courses to accept Elio as a golf cart so they can have a combination vehicle to get around the community and the courses. Elio and a golf cart are close in weight. Sure would make for a fast 18 holes if you could get the clubs to stand up on a rear mounted rack.

How interesting! Yes and one that has AC too. I wondered why Florida has such a big spike on the map. The main issue will be the weight. There is some weight limit for turf. Having most of the weight over powered wheels it will not tear up turf as much as one might think. On the other hand, it has more power than a golf cart.

The weight is pretty close to an electric golf cart. Here's the specs on an easy go golf cart.

The E-Z-GO Freedom RXV Electric golf cart has the following dimensions:
Length: 94.5 inches
Width: 47 inches
Height: 45.7 inches
Height With Canopy/Suntop: 68.5 inches
Wheelbase: 65.7 inches
Ground Clearance: 4.5 inches
Curb Weight: 935 lbs
Dry Weight: 635 lbs
Seating Capacity: 2 passenger

Sorry if this is too much of a divergent sidebar.... in the late 70's, I was in high school, oldest of 3 boys... Dad bought a 3-wheeler. Long frame, bench seat, Briggs & Stratton motor, huge wheels. It was fast. Then, he had an iron rack built and installed that went over the engine on the back of the 3-wheeler, where you could mount... yep, you guessed it... two golf bags, nearly horizontally, one facing each side. I can remember being on the local golf course. Our "golf cart" was a bit on the loud side, but it took us about 7 seconds to get to our ball! LOL We probably had to quit using it after awhile due to noise, but hey, it was the 70's.
