To operate as a retail dealer in Indianapolis, the Indiana Secretary of State’s Auto Dealer Services Division requires a motor vehicle dealer license. Because Sivo carts are street-legal LSVs, they are titled and registered similarly to cars. You will need a permanent business location with at least 100 sq. ft. of office space, a 10-vehicle display area, a $25,000 surety bond, and garage liability insurance.

The Indianapolis Opportunity: Why Now?
Indianapolis is the “Crossroads of America,” and it’s now at the forefront of a micro-mobility shift. From the historic tree-lined streets of Meridian-Kessler and the eclectic energy of Broad Ripple to the rapidly expanding master-planned communities in Carmel, Fishers, and Westfield, residents are seeking smarter ways to move. As Indy embraces initiatives like Vision Zero and builds more cart-accessible infrastructure near the Monon Trail, the demand for high-end, street-legal electric vehicles is at an all-time high.

FAQs
Yes. In Indiana, LSVs like the Sivo Edge can be driven on any street with a posted speed limit of 35 mph or less. This makes them perfect for navigating neighborhoods like Lockerbie Square, private golf communities in Hamilton County, or local errands in Geist. While they cannot be driven on major interstates (I-465, I-65), they are legally allowed to cross them at designated intersections.
We prioritize “turnkey inventory.” Unlike many manufacturers with six-month backlogs, Sivo offers fully assembled, ready-to-sell inventory. Our goal is to get your showroom stocked and your first units on the streets of Indy as quickly as possible.
Sivo offers a class-leading three-year limited warranty and a dedicated 12-year warranty on our Eco Lithium batteries. All warranty service can be managed through our online portal, supported by a massive domestic parts inventory to ensure minimal downtime for your customers.
Yes. To maintain Sivo’s premium brand standards and comply with Indiana dealer licensing laws, you must have a physical, commercially zoned storefront that is open at least 30 hours per week. We provide free showroom materials and branding assets with your first order to help you create an upscale customer experience.
Sivo values partnership over saturation. We review each application based on its proximity to existing dealers and the market capacity of the greater Indianapolis metro area. Our goal is to ensure every authorized dealer has enough territory to maintain healthy profit margins.
Indiana’s cold winters are 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 when temperatures drop, making them the superior choice for Hoosier drivers.
We generate the demand so you can focus on the sales. Sivo provides active lead support, routing local inquiries from Indianapolis and surrounding suburbs directly to your dealership. You’ll also have access to high-quality digital assets for your local social media and website.
