摘要：	In response to petitions by the gold cart industry the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reviewed its position on low speed vehicles and has taken steps to define a new class of low speed vehicle (LSV) which is exempt from the federal motor vehicles safety standards (FMVSS) that apply to motor vehicles. A new safety standard, FMVSS 100, has been proposed to regulate this new class of vehicle. The Vehicle Research and Test Center conducted a survey and a series of tests to evaluate the safety and stability of LSVs. Two neighborhood electric vehicles, the Bombardier and the GEM, and one golf car, the Yamaha gasoline powered golf cart, were selected for this study. Thesting included: (1) measurement of the CG height of the vehicle to determine the Static Stability Factor (SSF) for both unloaded and two passenger configurations; (2) measurement of lateral stability in a constant 50 foot radius turn, and (3) straight line braking on both a high coefficient surface and low coefficient surface.
