This might simply be a case of Virginia wanting to keep Golf Carts off of these trails...
.. without fully realizing how that the Cricket is not your typical Golf Cart...
It's been a while since I've looked at their specifications; but I believe that they are just about 32 inches wide, and weigh just a touch over 300 pounds.
The typical Golf Cart weighs about 700 pounds (depending upon it's configuration), and is 47" or 48" wide...
I've got no dog in this fight on either side; but it seems as if more information could be used by everyone.
