Tomberlin E-Merge Shadowhawk (E4+2)
The Tomberlin E-Merge Shadowhawk carries the Ghosthawk's aggressive styling into the E-Merge line, adding a 3-inch lift with new tires for a softer ride and easier entry while keeping a height that clears a standard garage. Carbon-fibre-style steering wheel and dash accents, headliner with Bluetooth audio, deluxe front bumper with LED lighting, and a 5-year limited warranty. Honest catch: at $25,699 the Shadowhawk ships on a 48-volt system with EIGHT 6-VOLT LEAD-ACID batteries rated 40+ miles. The EVOLVE lithium pack that reaches 80 miles is an OPTION. This is one of the most expensive carts in our catalog and it is not a lithium cart as delivered. Tomberlin publishes no top speed for the Shadowhawk, so we do not print one; confirm the delivered speed configuration with the dealer. The $25,699 figure is dealer-advertised (Tomberlin publishes no MSRP). Street-legal: yes (LSV certified). MSRP range: $25,699.
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.
