Bintelli Sivo Edge

The Sivo Edge is a 2026 street-legal electric cart from Sivo, a design-focused sub-brand launched by Bintelli in January 2026. The 4-seat model pairs a 5 kW AC motor and a LiFePO4 lithium pack (up to 25 mph, a 30-35 mile range) with premium touches — a 10.1-inch touchscreen, four-wheel hydraulic brakes, and independent front suspension — plus factory DOT equipment (3-point belts, DOT tires, AS-4 windshield). It starts at $13,495 (lifted 4-seat $14,495). Because it comes from Bintelli, a verified factory-LSV maker, it is cataloged here under Bintelli. Street-legal: yes (LSV certified). MSRP range: $13,495–$14,495.

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.
