Title: Low-Speed Vehicles
Abstract: The agency is establishing a new category of motor vehicle called "low-speed vehicle." A low-speed vehicle (LSV) would be any motor vehicle, other than a motorcycle, whose top speed does not exceed 25 mph. Under this new standard, Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 100, LSVs will be equipped with certain basic items of motor vehicle safety equipment, such as seat belts, in lieu of complying with the Federal motor vehicle safety and bumper standards that would apply if LSVs were categorized according to existing vehicle types. LSVs will also have a label warning against driving them at speeds that exceed 25 mph.
