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.
