Star Cart 22F - Lifted Legal Street Vehicle

[GeoJoe]

Just upgraded from my old 90 Marathon to a 2009 Star Cart 22F. This is all stock and qualifies for the 2009 LSV tax credit.

So far it seems solid and strong. 48v on 8 Trojan T105's, 5.5hp motor with a Curtis 400amp controller on 4ga cables. Lift, heavy duty leafs, racks, brush guard, flip down seat, fenders and more.

What makes it street legal are lights, brake lights, blinkers, mirrors, full glass windshield, horn and seat belts. Yes, it's basically an EZGO clone with parts made in China, (some assembly and sold out of South Carolina) but so far it is quiet and quick. It may be a little top heavy and gotta get used to it on the steep stuff. I'm thinking about taking that rack off the top...both to help the balance and also so it can fit in my garage! It's a tall cart.

This thing will get a work out around my house and neighborhood. More updates to come...

NICE!! Let us know how it holds up!

How much was that beaut? haha

[GeoJoe]

$8300 msrp, $5300 tax credit. Hope to get about $1000 for my old Marathon... so that's a new cart for about $2k!

Does the tax credit only apply to what you owe in taxes or are they giving you that much?

[GeoJoe]

only for what you owe... so you need to owe more than the credit to get the full amount.

quick question, you know i have a street legal electric golf cart, but it was street legal before this tax credit became about. can my dad still get a tax credit for it? his name is on the title too...

[GeoJoe]

the credit is on new 2009 LSV's sold before the end of the year...
