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 $24,200 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 $24,200 figure is the E4+2 Shadowhawk's MSRP as a Florida dealer's Tomberlin feed lists it (Tomberlin publishes no price). Street-legal: yes (LSV certified). Dealer-quoted MSRP range: $24,200 (read Oct 20, 2026).

Our figures, from verified specs + the cart's sourced price — 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.
