Yamaha Golf Car Drive2 Concierge 4 (Electric)

$12,455

The Yamaha Drive2 Concierge 4 is the four-passenger version of Yamaha's Drive2 PTV electric platform. As sold from the factory it is a 19 mph personal transportation vehicle, not a Low-Speed Vehicle — Yamaha markets the Drive2 only as a 'personal transportation vehicle' and does not certify it to FMVSS 500. Reaching street-legal LSV status means a dealer-installed package (DOT lighting, mirrors, belts) and a speed bump toward 25 mph, so being road-legal is a dealer conversion here, not a factory certification. It runs a 48V AC drivetrain (5.0 kW / 6.7 hp) on standard Trojan flooded lead-acid batteries, with lithium optional.
