Tomberlin Engage Beachcomber

The Tomberlin Engage Beachcomber is the coastal-themed Engage, built on a 6-inch lifted suspension with hybrid tires and the EVOLVE L210 10 kWh lithium pack rated up to 80 miles. Custom Beachcomber seating with an XL fold-down rear seat for gear, five coastal colours, a 7-inch LCD dash with integrated rear camera, and a 5-year limited warranty. Its standout feature is one nothing else in our catalog has: TOMBERLIN WITRICITY WIRELESS CHARGING, which removes the plug-in step entirely. Tomberlin publishes no top speed for the Beachcomber, so we do not print one; confirm the delivered speed configuration with the dealer. The $29,470 figure is dealer-advertised (Tomberlin publishes no MSRP). Street-legal: yes (LSV certified). MSRP range: $29,470.

Maker claims 80 mi

Computed from the 10 kWh pack at a standard 0.125 kWh per mile — the same efficiency on every model, so ranges compare apples-to-apples. Real-world range varies with load, terrain, speed, and battery age.

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.
