To operate as a retail dealer in Yellow Springs, the Ohio BMV requires a motor vehicle dealer license. Because Sivo carts are 50-state street-legal LSVs, they are titled and registered similarly to cars. You will need a physical, commercially zoned location, a dealer bond (typically $75,000 for used/specialty), and to meet specific lot and office size requirements.

FAQs
Yes. In Ohio, LSVs like the Sivo Edge can be driven on any street with a posted speed limit of 35 mph or less. This covers nearly all of the village’s interior roads. While they cannot be driven on major highways like SR-68 where speeds exceed 35 mph, they are legally allowed to cross them at intersections, making them ideal for village navigation.
We prioritize “turnkey inventory.” Unlike manufacturers with six- 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 Yellow Springs in weeks, not months.
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 inventory, ensuring your customers spend more time exploring the village and less time in the shop.
