Street-Legal Golf Cart Review - 10 Standout Features That Make the 2025 Tomberlin Golf Cart the Smartest Ride in Arizona!

This latest Golf Cart article, introduces Venom Golf Carts, ‘Venom Stealth and Venom Strike Golf Carts!’ – are they the perfect Golf Carts for Arizonans?

If you live in Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Phoenix, Mesa, or Sun City, you’ve probably seen sleek, street-legal Golf Carts zipping down the road, parked outside coffee shops, or lined up at your local golf club. Chances are, many of those are Tomberlin Golf Carts—and that’s no accident.

Tomberlin has carved out a reputation in the electric vehicle space as a brand that delivers comfort, innovation, and everyday usability. These aren’t your typical Golf Course Rides and Street Cruisers.

Tomberlin builds low-speed vehicles (LSVs) that look and feel like compact luxury cars—made for neighborhood runs, community events, and even daily commutes.

So, what’s new in the 2025 lineup? Let’s take a closer look at the 10 most impressive features that make the latest Tomberlin Golf Carts perfect for Arizona drivers.

1. Power Steering That Feels Like a Luxury Car

In places like downtown Phoenix or Old Town Scottsdale, tight turns and narrow streets are part of the daily drive. That’s where Tomberlin’s electric power steering shines. It provides incredibly smooth control—think less “Golf Cart” and more “sedan.”

2. Smart Touchscreen with Bluetooth & Navigation

The built-in 7-inch touchscreen isn’t just for show. It offers hands-free calling, music streaming, real-time speed, and even GPS guidance. Whether you’re headed to brunch in Paradise Valley or a farmer’s market in Mesa, it keeps you connected and informed.

3. Automotive-Grade Seats with Style and Support

Arizona heat demands comfort—and the bucket-style seats in Tomberlin’s 2025 models bring it. They’re adjustable, padded, and stylish, offering a ride that’s easy on your back and built for everyday use.

4. Street-Ready Hydraulic Disc Brakes

When you’re cruising through neighborhoods like Sun City or McCormick Ranch, you want responsive stopping power. Hydraulic disc brakes on all four wheels give you the kind of reliable control usually reserved for full-size vehicles.

5. Plug-and-Play Charging with a Built-In Smart Charger

There’s no need for complicated charging setups. Just plug your Tomberlin Golf Cart into a standard wall outlet, and the onboard smart charger does the rest. Easy overnight charging from your garage or driveway in any Arizona suburb.

6. Regenerative Braking = Extended Battery Life

In true desert fashion, Tomberlin makes every drop of energy count. Regenerative braking converts braking power into electricity, helping extend your cart’s range—especially useful for those longer neighborhood runs or sunset drives.

7. LED Lighting That Looks Sharp and Keeps You Seen

Tomberlin Golf Carts are equipped with full LED headlights, taillights, and turn signals, offering clear visibility on Arizona’s well-lit streets or during twilight drives. They don’t just help you see—they make you look good doing it.

8. Drive Modes for Every Mood

Arizona streets can vary—from calm, wide residential boulevards to quick turns around town centers. Tomberlin lets you toggle between Eco Mode for range and Sport Mode for added acceleration and performance.

9. Fully Street-Legal—Right Out of the Box

No modifications needed. The 2025 Tomberlin Golf Carts come DOT-certified with seatbelts, mirrors, turn signals, windshield wipers, horn, and a rearview camera. Ready to roll through Scottsdale, Mesa, or any Arizona city with streets posted at 35 mph or less.

10. Lithium Battery Options for the Long Haul

Looking to ditch the gas stations and get maximum range? Upgrade to lithium. Tomberlin Golf Carts offer high-performance lithium battery options that charge faster, last longer, and deliver more miles per charge—ideal for Arizona’s sprawling communities.

LSV Requirements

NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) issued a mandate that requires hybrids and electric vehicles travelling at less than 18.6 mph (30 km/h) to emit warning sounds that pedestrians must be able to hear over background noises- The regulation requires full compliance in all electric vehicles, including LSVs. Because of the quietness of electric vehicles and the possibility of collision with visually or audibly impaired pedestrians, the overall objective is to facilitate proximity awareness and minimize the chance of personal injury. In summary, an LSV (legally licensed to drive on streets up to 25 mph> must emit a sound when the forward or reverse switch is in the:

Forward position:

  • From 0 MPH to 18.6 mph.The sound is allowed to stop once the vehicle exceeds 18.6 mph.
