Royal EV Ambassador 4L
The lifted Ambassador 4, on the same 48 V / 5 kW platform with '35+' miles of range per Royal and a 3-year warranty. The web page and manual disagree on top speed (25 vs 29 mph), so it is left blank. Street-legal: yes (LSV certified).
Factory-certified Low-Speed Vehicle (FMVSS 500)
Factory LSV: Royal EV is registered with NHTSA as an LSV maker (WMI 7NJ), a dealer VIN decodes as an LSV, and Royal says 'All models now available with LSV certificate'. Its manuals print 29 mph — buy it in the 25 mph LSV setup with the certificate.

Our figures, from verified specs + the cart's sourced price — 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
- No material knock on the verified specs — the call comes down to fit and price.
Street-legal status
Factory street-legal (LSV) — no kit needed
Factory LSV: Royal EV is registered with NHTSA as an LSV maker (WMI 7NJ), a dealer VIN decodes as an LSV, and Royal says 'All models now available with LSV certificate'. Its manuals print 29 mph — buy it in the 25 mph LSV setup with the certificate. 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.
