Tomberlin E-Merge LXR (E2+2)
The Tomberlin E-Merge LXR is the entry model of the brand's luxury tier: a 2+2 four-passenger LSV with an automotive-painted body and colour-matched roof, premium LXR steering wheel, a 7-inch LCD dash with integrated rear camera, dual back-lit mirrors with illuminated turn signals, double-ended rack and pinion steering, anti-roll sway bar, and a 5-year limited warranty. Honest catch, and it is the one that matters at this price: the LXR ships on LEAD-ACID batteries rated up to 45 miles, and the EVOLVE L210 10 kWh lithium pack that reaches 80 miles is an OPTION, not the standard build. Several four-passenger LSVs at half this price ship lithium as standard. Tomberlin publishes no top speed for the LXR, so we do not print one; confirm the delivered speed configuration with the dealer. The $20,995 figure is dealer-advertised (Tomberlin publishes no MSRP). Street-legal: yes (LSV certified). MSRP range: $20,995.
Factory-certified Low-Speed Vehicle (FMVSS 500)
Factory-certified street-legal LSV — Tomberlin has self-certified LSVs since 2006 and fits LSV-compliant four-wheel hydraulic brakes across the range. Tomberlin publishes a top speed only for the GTZ (25 mph), so on the other models confirm the delivered speed configuration with the dealer before you buy to register.

Our figures, from verified specs + MSRP — lower cost-per-seat and cost-per-mile is better; higher power-to-weight means more pep and hill-climb. Range uses the normalized estimate. Cost per kWh is what the price actually buys you in battery — the single figure that separates a cheap cart from an under-batteried one, and almost nobody publishes it. Pack energy is the maker's published kWh where they give one, otherwise volts × amp-hours.

Street-legal status
Factory street-legal (LSV) — no kit needed
Factory-certified street-legal LSV — Tomberlin has self-certified LSVs since 2006 and fits LSV-compliant four-wheel hydraulic brakes across the range. Tomberlin publishes a top speed only for the GTZ (25 mph), so on the other models confirm the delivered speed configuration with the dealer before you buy to register. The DOT equipment and VIN come from the factory, so there is no aftermarket conversion to do. Confirm the delivered speed configuration with the dealer before you buy: titling it as an LSV depends on that 20-25 mph rating, and we only publish a top speed when the maker does.
