To make a go-kart street legal in Maryland, owners need to understand and meet the state’s vehicle regulations. Start by ensuring your go-kart is equipped with all necessary safety features, such as headlights, taillights, turn signals, mirrors, and a horn. Additionally, Maryland law requires that the vehicle be registered and insured to operate on public roads. Since go-karts are not typically designed to meet these standards, significant modifications may be necessary, including achieving minimum speed capabilities and passing safety inspections. After meeting these requirements, you can apply for registration with the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) to legally operate your go-kart on certain roadways.
