manufactured vehicle is modified in any way by the Distributor, Dealer or customer to operate at or in excess 

of 20mph, UNDER FEDERAL LAW the modified product will be a Low Speed Vehicle (LSV) subject to the stric-

tures and requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 571.500. In these instances, pursuant to 

Federal law the Distributor or Dealer MUST equip the product with headlights, rear lights, turn signals, seat 

belts, top, horn and all other modifications for LSV’s mandated in FMVSS 571.500, and affix a Vehicle Identifi-

cation Number to the product in accordance with the requirements of FMVSS 571.565. Pursuant to FMVSS 
571.500, and in accordance with the State laws applicable in the places of sale and use of the product, the 

Distributor, Dealer or customer modifying the vehicle also will be the Final Vehicle Manufacturer for the LSV, 

and required to title or register the vehicle as mandated by State law.

E-Z-GO will NOT approve Distributor, Dealer or customer changes that change an E-Z-GO product into a Low Speed 
Vehicle (LSV).
