PEV Mafia
Connection. Protection. Succession.
Welcome to the loading ground of PEV Mafia, a not-for-profit organization in FL. We are a community of electric vehicle (PEV) enthusiasts in Tampa Bay - assembling for corporate NFP group benefits and opportunities. Come out and ride with us!
What’s PEV Mafia?
PEV Mafia is a not-for-profit organization built for electric vehicle (PEV) riders who push the limits of aggressive, high-speed urban riding. With risk comes the need for protection, and as a collective, we secure affordable access to accident coverage, health benefits, and group-rate services that individuals simply can’t get alone.By joining, members gain access to internal group resources, and can purchase discounted benefits, while being part of a tight-knit community of like-minded enthusiasts. By leveraging collective buying power, we provide discounts & benefits typically reserved for large businesses. All resources are reinvested back into the group to maximize value for members; rather than generating profit.
Mission - Ride Safe for Fun
Much like yacht clubs or racing teams, we unite under one banner to ride hard, stay protected, and maximize our opportunities. Riding at this level demands organization, discipline, and shared resources. Together, we negotiate, safeguard, and grow — proving that as a group, we achieve far more than we ever could alone.All Members and Participants of PEV Mafia abide by The Code.

Brand Naming
PEV Mafia is a tight-knit, structured community of electric vehicle (PEV) riders who operate with discipline, organization, and shared purpose. The term “mafia” represents strength, loyalty, and collective power, much like industry unions, fraternal organizations, or private member clubs. Our 501(c)(3) not-for-profit status ensures transparency, legal compliance, and reinvestment into our members.Some may question the name, but many businesses and organizations use “mafia” symbolically to represent strong alliances (e.g., “Tattoo Mafia” or “Marketing Mafia”). We exist to organize, protect, and provide access to exclusive group benefits—not secrecy or misconduct. As a structured organization, we ensure responsibility, accountability, and a positive impact in our community.
Open to Consideration, Built for Impact
The name PEV Mafia has been met with strong support from many in the community who see it as bold, memorable, and empowering—a name that sparks conversation and demands explanation, making it impossible to ignore. It carries a sense of strength, unity, and collective action - representing the organized, structured, and member-driven nature of our group. While some may have concerns about corporate scrutiny, the intent behind the name is clear: it symbolizes a powerful & unified collective.
That said, this organization is about collaboration and collective decision-making: The final brand should reflect the strength, purpose, and identity that best serves all members. If there’s a name that holds even greater recognition, remembrance, and righteousness, then it deserves consideration. The directors and members will decide what represents us best, ensuring the brand we build is one that carries weight, respect, and impact—regardless of the name we choose.
Wait, Another Group?
PEV Mafia is not another ride group—it is a structured leadership body that represents the collective interests, safety, and well-being of all riders in the community. While many existing groups like St Pete Float Fleet, Palmetto Lithium Cartel, and Land Surfing Saturdays host great ride groups - they do not serve as an officially recognized organization to address broader issues, govern ride standards, or establish a unified stance when needed. This organization would serve as an elected moderation for groups willing to participate and abide in such a union.
Official Organization
By assembling a board of respected, experienced appointees, PEV Mafia ensures that major community matters, safety concerns, and conflicts are addressed objectively and fairly. Board members, elected by the community, will step in when necessary to resolve disputes, guide policy, and protect the integrity of the riding community. Individual ride groups remain independent, setting their own terms, while PEV Mafia provides structure, advocacy, and access to exclusive member benefits for those who choose to join.
2025 - The Future is Now
With no other unified body in place, now is the time to establish leadership that will strengthen, protect, and empower the PEV community for the future.
Leadership & Governance
PEV Mafia operates as a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization with a Board of Directors consisting of at least 3 (or 5) members, elected or re-elected annually. Board members oversee financial transparency, member benefits, and group operations, ensuring all decisions align with the community’s best interests.An Annual General Meeting (AGM) is held to review operations, financials, and leadership roles, with all major decisions documented for transparency. Members can nominate and vote for board positions, ensuring fair representation. Leadership ensures financial sustainability, compliance, and reinvestment into the group, while day-to-day operations focus on benefit management, event planning, and safety coordination.
How Membership Works
PEV Mafia leverages group size to negotiate discounted health benefits, accident coverage, service discounts, and bulk-rate perks like warehouse memberships and phone plans. Members only pay for the benefits they choose, ensuring flexibility and affordability. As a not-for-profit, all proceeds are reinvested into the community, maximizing value for everyone.
Why this Model Works
Much like a condo association or co-op, PEV Mafia functions as a community-driven organization that provides value through efficiency, shared resources, and bulk purchasing power. This structure allows every participant to maximize their return on investment—not just through services, but also through access to a tight-knit, resourceful, and engaged community of like-minded PEV enthusiasts.

1. Talk About PEV Mafia & Keep the Vibes Positive!
PEV Mafia is more than just a riding crew—it’s a movement, a network, and a family. Our joint ventures are about shared experiences, camaraderie, and pushing the limits together. Represent the group with pride, invite like-minded riders, and help grow a community that values connection, protection, and progression. At the same time, keep the energy positive and supportive — drama, negativity, and toxicity have no place here. We ride hard, but we lift each other up, encourage growth, and keep the focus on fun.2. Respect All Riders & Humans - Brotherhood
PEV Mafia is built on mutual respect, trust, and loyalty. Treat every member and the public with dignity and fairness, whether online or on the streets. Disrespect, harassment, or reckless behavior will not be tolerated. We are a unit, and when one rider is affected, it impacts us all. Look out for each other, offer a hand when needed, and always have your crew’s back. Our members come from all backgrounds, but on the ride, we are equals, bound by our love for the sport and our commitment to the group.3. Confidentiality Matters - Keep Internal Conflicts Private
What happens in PEV Mafia stays in PEV Mafia. Private rides, discussions, and group matters are not for outsiders—confidentiality is key to maintaining trust and exclusivity. If an issue arises within the group, handle it internally. Airing disputes in public, on social media, or in outside circles weakens the community. Resolve conflicts professionally, and if necessary, escalate to leadership for mediation. We handle our own, keep our business in-house, and move forward as a unified force.4. Be Self-Sufficient
Come charged, Bring a Charger, and have a backup plan. A dead battery is no excuse to disrupt the group or put yourself at risk. Life happens; but members must take responsibility for their own situations without negatively impacting others. Handle your own emergencies and manage your situation efficiently, without creating unnecessary burdens for fellow riders. Support is always available, but self-reliance is key.5. Respect the Rules of the Road
PEV Mafia rides with freedom, but also with respect for the roads we have limited opportunity to share. Follow major traffic laws, be mindful of pedestrians right-of-way, vehicles regulations, and use reasonable discretion & common sense when navigating public spaces. Stay two-wide maximum on public roadways, and in bike lanes when available. Riding recklessly or drawing unnecessary negative attention puts everyone at risk and threatens the legitimacy of our group. Know when to show restraint — responsible riding ensures we can continue to ride as a community without interference or restriction.6. Ride Safe & Responsibly
Everyone is here to enjoy the ride and the experience - Ride with awareness, control, and responsibility. Members are responsible for their actions, and must ensure their riding habits do not endanger themselves or others. Wear proper protective gear, stay aware of your surroundings, and communicate clearly when riding in a group. Announce your passing, directional changes, and braking movements to avoid accidents. Reckless, inconsiderate or disruptive behavior won’t be tolerated. Respect the ride, the community, and the experience of others.7. No Witnesses, No Spectators
In the event of an accident, confrontation, or unexpected scene - members who are not directly involved must vacate the area immediately, to ensure safety and avoid drawing unnecessary attention. Those involved may handle the situation as they see fit and safely necessary. “If you don’t plan to get away, than you plan to get caught.” We are not a group to be spectated. Stay aware, think smart, and keep moving.8. Handle Business When It’s Time
Riding is about fun and camaraderie. But, when issues arise — members are expected to step up, contribute, and take responsibility. If something needs to be handled, don’t wait for someone else to do it; we're all adults. This group is only as strong as its most committed members. Maintaining organization, respect, and accountability ensures PEV Mafia continues to thrive. When it’s time to handle business - handle it.9. Respect Private Property & Public Spaces - Ride Clean
We are guests in every city park, and public road we ride on — leaving a positive impression ensures we can continue riding without interference. Whether it’s a group ride, event, or private meetup - clean up after yourself. Do not trespass, vandalize, or disrupt businesses and public areas. If a location doesn’t welcome us, we move on — no fights, no arguments, no problems. Respect public spaces, and leave our world as you found it, or better.10. Represent with Integrity - Help the Community Grow
PEV Mafia thrives on member engagement, support, and leadership. Whether it’s helping new riders, organizing events, or sharing knowledge, every member plays a role in strengthening the group. Lead by example — ride with respect, professionalism, and accountability; knowing that your actions shape the reputation of the community. How we conduct ourselves determines the opportunities, partnerships, and longevity of the PEV community — so be the rider that others respect, not one they fear.
