Edge-EV Vortex V4
The Edge Vortex V4 is the 4-seat flagship of Edge-EV, the house brand of the Golf Carts USA retailer (assembled in Myrtle Beach, SC). It runs a 105Ah lithium pack and a 5 kW AC motor, tops out at 25 mph, and lists around $13,495–$14,495. NHTSA's vPIC registry lists EDGE-EV as a Low-Speed Vehicle make — but a caveat worth knowing: the cart's own owner's manual reads as a generic golf-cart manual with no VIN or FMVSS-500 language, and the brand and the store are the same company. Confirm the LSV title and VIN with the seller before you rely on street-legal status. Street-legal: yes (LSV certified). MSRP range: $13,495–$14,495.

Where it wins, where it gives

Street-legal status
Factory street-legal (LSV) — no kit needed
NHTSA vPIC lists EDGE-EV as a Low Speed Vehicle make and the V4 sells at 25 mph street-legal-ready. Caveat: the cart's own owner's manual reads as a generic golf-cart manual with no VIN/FMVSS-500 language, and brand and retailer are one company — confirm the LSV title and VIN with the seller. The DOT equipment, VIN, and 25 mph rating come from the factory, so you can title and register it without any aftermarket conversion.
