The Verdi Aspen S4 is the value-priced 2+2 version of Verdi's Aspen line — a rear flip-seat four-seater (vs the forward-facing Aspen F4). It runs a 5 kW AC motor with a 400A controller off a 51.7V / 105Ah lithium pack, rated up to 40 miles (Verdi's own page; the 150Ah / 65-mile figures some dealers list are the six-seat S6's), with 4-wheel hydraulic disc brakes and an 11-inch touchscreen (CarPlay / Android Auto). Verdi Motors is an NHTSA-registered Low-Speed Vehicle maker, and the S4 tops out at 25 mph in its street-legal configuration. A Florida dealer lists it at $8,995. Street-legal: yes (LSV certified). Dealer price range: $8,995 (read Oct 20, 2026).

◆ Range reality check
Computed from the ≈5.43 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 + 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.
