Backyard Escapism 4 Forward Facing Street Legal LSV

$12,499

A made-to-order 48V lithium four-seater from direct seller Backyard Escapism (no dealer network; ~3-month lead time), with LSV-style equipment — 3-point belts, mirrors, blinkers, hi/lo beams — and a 10.1-inch CarPlay display at $12,499. Every figure here is the seller's own claim; no independent confirmation exists. It is marketed as street-legal but is not a factory-certified LSV — the page makes no FMVSS-500 or VIN claim, and its own "25–28 MPH" spec tops the 25 mph LSV ceiling.
