The six GEM passenger and utility models are legal on most streets with posted speeds of 35 mph or less. GEM cars are used by local, state and national government agencies, resorts, master-planned communities, universities, medical and corporate campuses, as well as by sports teams, taxi-shuttle services and individual consumers.
I’m talking about Low Speed Vehicles (LSVs) , the official term for what many people call Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEVs). In fact, the little EV is roughly the size of just two motorcycles parked side by side. But those suckers start at $15k, and the price jumps to $25k when you add doors and a lithium-ion battery upgrade.
Aventura-X probably walks a fine line as it is, conjuring up old-timey Vespa vibes while maintaining just enough differentiation to avoid legal issues. Considering I was testing this in Florida, where 50 mph roads are just how you exit your neighborhood, that lower speed was a bit of an issue. I’m also in full pants and boots.
Depending on your country, there will be different legal requirements for whether or not you need to wear a helmet and, if so, what kind of standards your helmet has to meet. While you can buy all of the helmets mentioned in this guide directly from Amazon, it’s also worthwhile visiting your neighborhood EV shop.
I also had the chance to test ride several of NIUs electric vehicles, from the standing electric kickscooters to their higher speed mopeds and full-size electric motorcycles, to even the companys Sur Ron-competitor electric dirt bike. Theres definitely still a place in the market for modest neighborhood electric vehicles!
