Yamaha Golf Car Drive2 Concierge 4 (Electric)

The Yamaha Drive2 Concierge 4 is the four-passenger version of Yamaha's Drive2 PTV electric platform. As sold from the factory it is a 19 mph personal transportation vehicle, not a Low-Speed Vehicle — Yamaha markets the Drive2 only as a 'personal transportation vehicle' and does not certify it to FMVSS 500. Reaching street-legal LSV status means a dealer-installed package (DOT lighting, mirrors, belts) and a speed bump toward 25 mph, so being road-legal is a dealer conversion here, not a factory certification. It runs a 48V AC drivetrain (5.0 kW / 6.7 hp) on standard Trojan flooded lead-acid batteries, with lithium optional. Street-legal: no. MSRP range: $12,455.

Street-legal status

Not a factory LSV — here's the conversion path

A 19 mph factory PTV — Yamaha does not certify a street-legal Concierge. Reaching LSV use means an aftermarket lighting/signal kit PLUS a dealer speed increase, and a self-installed kit adds equipment, not FMVSS-500 factory certification.

The honest caveat

A kit adds equipment— lights, signals, mirrors, belts. It does not make a cart a factory-certified LSV. Federal LSV status (FMVSS 500 + a 17-digit VIN) is set at the factory and can't be bolted on afterward. Most light kits stop at lighting, so you may still need mirrors, a DOT windshield, seat belts, and a dealer speed increase to reach the 20-25 mph window — and some states won't register a DIY conversion as an LSV at all. Check your local golf-cart vs. LSV rules before driving on public roads.
