gcn-novdec10-coverE-Z-GO INTRODUCES THE 2FIVE™
E-Z-GO, a Textron Company, introduced the 2Five, its first street-legal vehicle designed for neighborhoods and public roads with a speed limit of 35 mph or less. The 2Five travels at speeds up to 25 mph and has a 48-volt AC electric powertrain, four-wheel hydraulic disc brakes, and an on-board charger among other standard features, providing the perfect balance of eco-inspired living, safety and convenience.

“E-Z-GO is excited to offer the 2Five as a convenient, fun and environmentally sound transportation alternative,” said Kevin P. Holleran, president of E-Z-GO. “The 2Five is a perfect vehicle option for neighborhood road travel, running errands and for those who lead an on-the-go lifestyle,”

The 2Five meets or exceeds standards mandated by the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) as well as additional standards of the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) for low-speed vehicles, or LSVs. An LSV must have a top speed of no more than 25 mph and be equipped with certain additional features including: a windshield, seat belts, mirrors, headlights and taillights. The vehicles are issued a vehicle identification number, like any automobile, and can be titled and operated by licensed drivers on most public roads with speed limits of 35 mph or less.

Like all E-Z-GO vehicles, the 2Five is manufactured in Augusta, Ga., at E-Z-Go’s world headquarters, recently honored as one of the top 10 manufacturing facilities in North America by Industry Week magazine.

The 2Five is available for purchase at select dealers across the country. For more information or to locate your nearest authorized 2Five dealer, visit www.e-z-go.com/2five.
