Most golf carts were designed for the course, with top speeds of 12 to 15 mph. Personal transportation vehicles (PTVs) are a step up, reaching up to 19 mph and often adding rear seats and lights for use on private property or, where permitted, public roads. But PTVs aren’t held to federal safety standards.

Low-speed vehicles (LSVs) are a different class altogether. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) regulates them as motor vehicles, with a top speed of 20 to 25 mph and required equipment that includes headlights, turn signals, brake lights, mirrors, a windshield and seat belts. Every LSV carries a 17-digit VIN, so it can be titled, registered and insured much like a car, subject to state law.

Tomberlin® builds luxury electric low-speed vehicles to exceed those standards. A frame and upper structure of thick, high-strength steel add strength and durability. A sophisticated suspension, electric power steering and 4-wheel hydraulic brakes deliver agile, sports-car handling and confident stopping power. It’s the difference between a golf cart upgraded for the street and a vehicle built for the street from the start.

Tomberlin is The UNgolf Car™. Every Tomberlin is a luxury electric low-speed vehicle built for the street from the start, not a golf cart modified to go faster. Safety comes standard, including features others charge extra for or don’t offer at all. Thoughtful ergonomics provide lasting comfort, smart power systems provide exceptional range and high-strength materials are built to last.

Tomberlin is also privately held by the family-owned Nordic Group, which has built American businesses for over 75 years. Decisions are made for the long term, not the next quarter. While other brands have come and gone, leaving owners without parts or service, Tomberlin stands behind every vehicle with genuine parts and an Authorized Tomberlin Dealer network that’s there long after the sale. Nothing else will do.

Your Owner’s Manual outlines a recommended inspection and service schedule, from quick daily checks to annual service. Semi-annual and annual inspections should be performed by your Authorized Tomberlin Dealer, whose trained technicians use genuine Tomberlin parts. Many also offer annual service programs, so ask your Authorized Tomberlin Dealer for details.
