Yes. The Onward LSV falls under the USDOT’s Low Speed Vehicle (LSV) classification, making it federally approved for street use on roads with posted speed limits under 35 mph. Always confirm with your local dealer
 which vehicles are approved in your area.

The Onward LSV is legal on most public roads with posted speed limits of 35 mph (56 kph), or in some states up to 45 mph (72 kph).

We frequently receive questions about Low-Speed Vehicle (LSV) regulations across the country, especially for states with high golf cart and neighborhood driving usage. While requirements can vary by city or county, shoppers most often ask about the rules in: 

• Florida
• Texas
• South Carolina
• North Carolina
• Georgia 
• California

To help you navigate the basics, we’ve included links to publicly available, high-level LSV guidelines for each state listed above. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, always refer to your state’s official Department of Transportation (DOT) or local motor vehicle agency.

The Onward LSV is built with safety at the forefront, meeting not only the U.S. Federal Safety Standard FMVSS 500, but also the more rigorous automotive SAE J2358 Standard. The car features 3-point front seatbelts for secure, full-body restraint and 2-point rear seatbelts to protect passengers in the back. Its reinforced frame enhances rollover protection, while the rear back-up camera improves visibility when reversing. Additionally, the vehicle includes an AVAS (Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System) to help pedestrians hear the LSV when it’s on the road.

FMVSS 500 requires all LSVs to have a registered VIN number, automotive safety windshield glass, safety belts, turn signals, headlamps, brake lights, horn, mirrors, reflex reflectors, a parking brake and a rear view camera. They also must meet state and local laws which can include windshield wipers and warning beacons.

In order to meet U.S. Federal Safety Standards (FMVSS 500), all LSVs require a registered VIN number. Once registered, the Onward LSV can be driven legally with a valid driver's license on most roads with posted speed limits of 35 mph or less.

The Onward® LSV comes equipped with a sleek, high-resolution 7-inch dashboard display that delivers exceptional visibility and intuitive control. Its modern, user-friendly interface features crisp graphics that make key vehicle information easy to read at a glance. For added confidence, the integrated high-resolution backup camera enhances safety while reversing, whether you’re navigating neighborhood streets, parking areas, or tight spaces.
