To operate as a retail dealer in Irvine, the California DMV 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 commercially zoned location, a $50,000 surety bond, and garage liability insurance to comply with California state statutes.
