To operate as a retail dealer in Columbus, the Indiana Secretary of State requires a motor vehicle dealer license. Because Sivo carts are 50-state street-legal LSVs, they are titled and registered similarly to traditional automobiles. You will need a physical, commercially zoned location, a dealer bond, and liability insurance to comply with Indiana state statutes.

FAQs
Yes. In Columbus, LSVs like the Sivo Edge are legal to drive on any public street with a posted speed limit of 35 mph or less. They are the perfect “neighborhood to downtown” transportation for locals, and while they cannot be driven directly on high-speed expressways, they are legally permitted to cross them at designated intersections.
We pride ourselves on “turnkey inventory.” Unlike manufacturers with 6- to 12-month backlogs, Sivo maintains a robust supply chain to deliver fully assembled, ready-to-sell units. Our goal is to get your showroom stocked and your first units on the streets of Columbus in a fraction of the time.
Sivo offers a class-leading three-year limited warranty and a dedicated 12-year warranty on our Eco Lithium batteries. All warranty service is supported by our massive domestic parts warehouse, ensuring your customers experience minimal downtime and maximum satisfaction.
Yes. To maintain Sivo’s premium brand standards and satisfy Indiana’s dealer licensing requirements, you must have a physical, commercially zoned storefront. We assist you by providing free showroom materials and branding assets with your initial order to create a high-end retail experience.
Sivo values quality partnerships over market saturation. We evaluate each application based on proximity to existing dealers and the market capacity of the Bartholomew County area. Our mission is to ensure every authorized dealer has a large enough “turf” to maintain healthy, sustainable profit margins.
The Midwestern climate is notoriously hard on traditional lead-acid batteries. Sivo’s standard lithium-ion batteries are maintenance-free, charge significantly faster, and offer consistent power and range, even during the temperature shifts common in Southern Indiana.
We don’t just give you the inventory; we drive the traffic. Sivo provides active lead support, routing local inquiries from the Columbus and surrounding South Central Indiana area directly to your dealership. You will also have access to high-quality digital assets for your local social media, website, and advertising campaigns.
