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.

Strengths
- Factory-certified LSV — VIN'd, titleable, and insurable with no dealer conversion.
- 8-year battery warranty is among the longest in the field.
Trade-offs
- Manufacturer hasn't published a range figure — we left it blank rather than guess.
Street-legal status
Factory street-legal (LSV) — no kit needed
Factory-certified street-legal LSV — E-Z-GO's 2027 owner's manual states the Liberty 4 LSV meets FMVSS 49 CFR 571.500 with its top speed set at 25 mph. Trim trap: the X, XT and XTL ship at 19 mph; only the Street-Legal XTL package ($15,999) is the 25 mph LSV. The DOT equipment and VIN come from the factory, but this one ships at 19 mph and the 25 mph street-legal setup is a paid factory configuration. Below 20 mph it is not a Low-Speed Vehicle and cannot be titled as one, so confirm in writing that the LSV configuration is fitted before you buy it to register.
