Do you know… all about driving around Seabrook Island on a Low-Speed Vehicle (LSV)?
Low-Speed Vehicles are permitted on SIPOA roads and are approved for street use only.
- Each LSV must be registered and insured pursuant to applicable state motor vehicle laws, have a 17-digit vehicle identification number (VIN) and display appropriate LSV license plates. They are not golf carts.
- All LSVs must comply with SC motor vehicle laws and SIPOA rules and regulations. This includes all occupants must wear seatbelts or proper child restraints and the vehicle must have proper lights and reflectors if operated after sunset.
- Only drivers having a valid driver’s license may operate LSVs on SIPOA roads.
- Each LSV must display a valid SIPOA entry device or pass.
- Off-road tires may not be used on a LSV.
- LSVs may not be operated on any bicycle path, walking path, boardwalk or on the beach.
- LSVs are subject to the motor vehicle parking restrictions contained in the SIPOA Rules and Regulations.
- Motorcycles, motorized scooters, mopeds, go-carts, motorized skateboards or similar motorized vehicles are not permitted on Seabrook Island unless specifically authorized by SIPOA. The exception is class 1 pedal-assisted e-bikes. All other e-bikes are prohibited.
These are taken from SIPOA Rules and Regulations, Section III. D. 1. f, g, k, and 2. Updates are approved by the SIPOA Safety and Security Committee.
