Atlas MAX
The Atlas MAX is the six-passenger version of the Atlas platform (4+2, with fold-down rear seats over a utility bed) — a step up from the 4-seat Atlas ONE. It runs a 5 kW Nidec AC motor (400A controller) and lithium pack for up to 60 miles, with 4-wheel hydraulic disc brakes, coil-over suspension, and a 12.5-inch HD touchscreen. Atlas is a vPIC-registered Low-Speed Vehicle maker; note every Atlas ships factory-preset at ≤20 mph and the dealer sets the 25 mph street-legal LSV configuration, so confirm the Street trim. MSRP starts at $17,499 (live dealer listings run lower). Street-legal: yes (LSV certified). MSRP range: $17,499.

Our figures, from verified specs + MSRP — lower cost-per-seat and cost-per-mile is better; higher power-to-weight means more pep and hill-climb. Range uses the normalized estimate. Cost per kWh is what the price actually buys you in battery — the single figure that separates a cheap cart from an under-batteried one, and almost nobody publishes it. Pack energy is the maker's published kWh where they give one, otherwise volts × amp-hours.

Trade-offs

Street-legal status
Factory street-legal (LSV) — no kit needed
Factory-certified LSV — vPIC lists make ATLAS (Vexas Corp) as a Low Speed Vehicle maker. Trim trap: every Atlas ships pre-set ≤20 mph; the dealer sets the 25 mph street-legal LSV configuration — confirm the Street trim. The DOT equipment and VIN come from the factory, so there is no aftermarket conversion to do. Confirm the delivered speed configuration with the dealer before you buy: titling it as an LSV depends on that 20-25 mph rating, and we only publish a top speed when the maker does.
