The SoloRider vehicle was specifically designed to comply with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.  The ADA requires that public facilities provide reasonable accommodations to individuals with disabilities.  The US Supreme Court ruled in PGA Tour v. Martin that providing a cart for the disabled individual "was both a reasonable and a necessary solution" to providing access to golf facilities. US regulators have stated that compliance vehicles need to have (at a minimum) hand controls, swivel seat, transfer bars, and assistive device holders in order to accommodate the needs of individuals with mobility impairments.

In addition to these government defined elements, the vehicle provides unparalleled stability, exceeding the ANSI stability requirements for golf cars.  This level of stability far exceeds that found in scooter type vehicles, and is the result of the commitment that the car would be stable anywhere the golfer would need it to go. The car also provides a top speed of 14 mph, similar to a standard golf car, and has regenerative braking and speed control standard.  This ensures control and prevents runaways even on steep hills, and provides for longer battery life.

The car has a patented swivel seat mechanism that allows the user to position the seat infinitely in any orientation to ensure the ability to address the ball as it lies. The hand controls provided on the car are similar in layout to those found on a scooter, snowmobile or motorcycle, so becoming familiar with the controls is easy and fast.  The car is designed in such a way that the golfer’s handicap will only be related to his/her ability to play the game, not any mobility impairment they may have.

In addition to use for playing golf, the multi-functional vehicle can be used for third or fifth players, as a ranger vehicle, utility vehicle, or to access other outdoor venues like parks or recreational areas.
