ICON EV i40FX
ICON's forward-facing 4-seater on the newer ICON X platform, positioned as the premium-tech trim: 48V 5 kW AC motor, 51V/105Ah lithium pack, 10.1-inch CarPlay/Android Auto touchscreen, backup camera, front double-wishbone suspension and a dealer-adjustable ICONIC Lift System. It's a factory Low-Speed Vehicle (ICON EV is NHTSA-registered), but note the trim trap: it ships at 19 mph and the 25 mph street-legal LSV setup is a +$895 factory configuration. Dealers list it around $12,395. Street-legal: yes (LSV certified). MSRP range: $12,395.

◆ Range reality check
Computed from the ≈5.36 kWh pack (system voltage × amp-hours) at a standard 0.125 kWh per mile — the same efficiency on every model, so ranges compare apples-to-apples. Real-world range varies with load, terrain, speed, and battery age.

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

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 LSV (ICON EV is NHTSA-registered). Ships at 19 mph; the 25 mph street-legal LSV is a +$895 factory configuration — buy the LSV setup. 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.
