Club Car's Carryall 6 LSV
March 12, 2010 — Your first thought, upon looking at this Earth-friendly, electric-powered love-child of a golf cart and a pickup truck, may be, "Sure, my co-op or condo could use something like for hauling tree branches or air conditioners or what have you from building to building in my Brooklyn or Queens cooperative or condominium complex." (We're assuming you think in complete, detailed sentences that include Internet search terms.) "But," you may go on, "what about Manhattan co-ops and condos that, for the most part, are individual city buildings and not part of self-contained complexes?"
The answer surprised even us: Even on city streets, your building staff may still be able to use this week's spotlighted New Product for trips to the hardware store or plumbing-supply shop. How? Because it falls into the category of LSV — Low-Speed Vehicle — which, with exceptions, New York State allows on city streets.
The zero-emission Carryall 6 from Club Car, the 52-year-old, world-leading manufacturer of golf carts and other electric utility vehicles — its two-millionth is scheduled to roll off the line next year — is a 21-horsepower electric job that operates 50 miles between charges. It has a sex-foot bed with 1,250-pound capacity, and a rust/corrosion-resistant aluminum chassis that you can accessorize with things like ladder racks, snow plows, boom sprayers and trailers.
Moreover, it comes complete with headlights, taillights, brake lights, turn signals, horn, license-plate holder, exterior mirrors and reflectors,street-rated tires, seatbelts and a safety-glass windshield with wiper.
As we grow ever-greener, such electric LSVs will go a long way to reducing fossil-fuel emissions from gas or diesel-powered utility vehicles — especially since tax credits are available. And they're so cute, your staff will definitely get a charge out of them — even while they're putting a charge into them.
