Re: Any Tomberlin Emerge Owners Out There
I have a 2008 E-2. I'm commuting daily about 13 miles total. It was the cheapest way I could get into an electric vehicle. The vehicle is very sturdy but the driving experience is equivilent to a model T. I love it

Re: Any Tomberlin Emerge Owners Out There
I got my E-Merge 2 in July and have put 350 miles on it. The only problems I have had were with the emergency brake ratchet button (stuck) and a squeak in the left front (Warped Brake Rotor). Both were quickly handled by the Dealer. Also, the ride is a little harsh and the steering could use some dampening. Because of the short wheelbase it responds very quickly and there is a lot of feed back to the steering wheel. My only reservation is that it is built in China but it was the cheapest way to get into a street legal electric vehicle. Regarding the miles to a full charge I can only guess but the gage on the dash has never been below half way and I drive a max of 13 miles in a day for my commute. My commute is 3.25 miles and I come home for lunch where it gets about 30 minutes on the charger and then back to work. They claim 30 miles to 80% discharge. Personally I would not go that low because I want these batteries to last as long as possible. Overall I am very happy with the car. The Frame and suspension are very solid and the 205/50-10 tires work well. I am hoping to hop it up after it gets out of warranty. If you have any specific questions feel free to ask.

Re: Any Tomberlin Emerge Owners Out There
I have a 2007 E-2. I don't know how many miles on charge, I travel only a few miles a day and keep it on charge when not being used.
I too had problems but all fixed. I'm going to replace my 10" tires with 12" tires and hopefully install a radio. I have a weather enclosure and golf bag rack. Have you found any other add-on for this cart???? |

Changing the rims to 12" could be interesting. If you are doing that for speed, going to a slightly higher profile tire might do the same thing for less money. I'd like to soften the ride a little and add front and rear sway bars. Eventually battery type, voltage, motor and controller upgrades would be fun. I have some friends who do autocross, and I thought it would be something to shoot for. |

Re: Any Tomberlin Emerge Owners Out There
Whitey; Mark,his wife, and the whole crew at Marxcarts.com are wonderful people to deal with. Friendly and responsive. Re LSVs, particularly the Tomberlin, since it looks like a golf cart, you will probably be stopped by your local PD if you drive it on the Street. Make sure you know the laws because most of the Po-Leece I have dealt with think it is a golf cart and want to cite you under those rules. I keep copies of all the applicable laws in my trunk. I have been stopped 3 times in 600 miles of local street driving and no tickets. Hartfield VA appears to be pretty small so maybe you are going to use it off road or on private property. It should do great in that environment and you will get more speed (25mph) than you can get from standard carts. Make sure you are familiar with battery maintenance and charging because you can ruin flooded L/a batteries if you deep discharge them too often or fail to keep them charged and watered. (Battery refill watering can about $12 at Pepboys) I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.
