Laws favor smaller wheels

Jun 05, 2011 |

Georgia and South Carolina legislators were considering bills that could put more golf cars on public streets. One Augusta dealer expects a rising demand for clean energy to lead more people to buy electric vehicles to get around the neighborhood.

Tripp Kuhlke, a partner at Transportation Solutions of Augusta, said the business sold 50 Club Car low-speed vehicles priced between $8,000 and $11,000 in the last two months of 2010, largely thanks to a $4,160 tax credit.

Kuhlke said only 15 have been sold this year since the tax credit was reduced, but he is hopeful friendlier laws and high gas prices will attract more customers.

The proliferation of the vehicles is a concern for David Colmans, the executive director of the Georgia Insurance Information Service. Even local law enforcement isn't always confident of the rules and regulations governing golf cars and low-speed vehicles on the roads, which vary from county to county around Augusta.
