Want to Save Money at the Pump? Get an LSV and Avoid the Pump Altogether!

This week, the average price for a gallon of regular gasoline was $3.77 in New Hampshire, with higher prices elsewhere in the country. Additional price increases are expected nationwide as summer rolls around. While it seems likely that prices will continue to climb for the foreseeable future, that doesn’t mean you need to choose between indentured servitude to Exxon Mobil or self-imposed house arrest for the next several months (or longer!).

EZGO has a viable alternative—not just to the gas-guzzler, but even to your average 25 MPG sedan: the 2Five. The 2Five is an LSV, or Low Speed Vehicle, which means you can safely and legally drive it on roads with a speed limit of 35 MPH or lower. For many of us, that means it will get you to the bank, post office, grocery store, school, and other around-town stops that account for the majority of our driving.

It’s not just that the 2Five is a bit cheaper to drive than your regular car, it’s a model of efficiency: it features a 48 volt electric drivetrain, which means you won’t be at the mercy of Middle East politics and fluctuating gas prices. The vehicle also has a regenerative breaking system, which captures some of the energy that would normally be lost in breaking and returns it to the batteries.

While you will enjoy substantial cost-savings if you use the 2Five as your around-town means of transportation, that won’t come at the expense of safety or comfort. The 2Five is built according to the same strict safety standards as all EZGO products. Additionally, it features 3-point seatbelts, hydraulic disk brakes, an automotive-glass windshield, impact-resistant bumpers and numerous other features that will protect your investment, and more importantly, protect you and your passengers.

As EZGO knew when they designed the 2Five, once you have one you’ll want to spend a lot of time driving it, so they built in extra perks that make the experience even better, such as an on-board charger, a 12V accessory outlet (for use with an MP3 player, cellphone charger, etc.), locking glove box, and under-seat storage. And those are just the standard features: additional accessories and customization options are available, such as a golf package, which includes a sweater basket and bag rack.

Two-seater and four-seater models of the EZGO 2Five are available, so whether you are a retired couple who want a better way to get around the community, a family with a crazy schedule of classes and outings, or an avid golfer who wants to have the nicest ride on the course, the 2Five has a model and a package that meets your needs.
