Is it legal to ride a go-cart on the street?

It is not legal in most states to ride a go-cart on the street. Go-carts are not considered street legal vehicles, and as such, they are not permitted to be operated on public roads. Riding a go-cart on the street can result in fines, impoundment of the go-cart, and even jail time.

In some states, there are certain exceptions to the rules. Some states may allow go-carts to be operated on private property, such as in a parking lot or on a closed course. Most states also have laws that allow go-carts to be operated on private roads, but those roads must be closed to public traffic.

In order to ensure that you are not violating any laws, it is important to check with your local authorities to determine the specific rules for riding go-carts in your area.
