THE LSV/UTV MARKET HEATS UP IN 2021

It is no coincidence that the already hot LSV and UTV market by virtue of the 2020 pandemic gained even more popularity, although pre-Covid 19, the LSV market was already on the rise. With several models to choose from and a dizzying array of options lets’ dive in and explore the possibilities.

American Landmaster released their all new L7XL PRO, a UTV suited best for big jobs on farms, construction sites, industrial plants, lumber yards, or even hunters looking to bring back some extra big game. The L7XL PRO comes built with Landmaster’s most powerful and dependable Kohler 694cc EFI commercial-grade engine. This engine is specifically tuned to give the user more torque power over the rest of the Landmaster lineup. This means bigger jobs, heavier towing, and increased capabilities.

“Our goal was to bring the industry an American-Made, high quality, affordable heavy-duty UTV. The marketplace currently starts at around $16,000 for a long-bed UTV, and we knew we could be around $13,500 with ours”, claims David Piercy, Marketing director for American Landmaster. “The L7XL PRO was rigorously tested, one test included continuously driving the unit for over 6,000 miles around a test track. This validated the quality of the componentry, commercial-grade engine, DOT tires, and the overall chassis. We also tested the machine’s ability to carry 1,000lbs of steel and 1,000 lbs. of lumber, it handles those tasks impressively well”.

Tomberlin has been setting monthly sales records at an unprecedented pace due to the high demand. The E-Merge Ghosthawk is Tomberlin’s #1 Selling LSV. The E4 Ghosthawk took the market by storm two short years ago, and the momentum and demand for this vehicle continues to grow. What adds to the appeal of this unique LSV is the smooth looking matte black finish, 23-inch tires and wheels on a lifted suspension and the complimenting high-back upholstered seats. As sales for the Ghosthawk model continue to increase, Tomberlin has made it more popular by adding four more matte finish colors and the Ghosthawk is now being offered in an E2 model as well. 

Due to the seamless integration of its standard 210a battery pack, 450a controller and smart charger, Tomberlin’s new “EVOLVE LITHIUM BATTERY SOLUTION” provides industry leading range and exceptional amperage delivery in high output conditions, assuring the E-Merge will have the power to perform and get you where you’re going with no concerns. 

ICON Electric Vehicles recently made the front cover of Golf Car Advisor for good reason. With their exponential growth in the rapidly growing Golf Car Industry, they have opened two new facilities – Texas and Arizona, in addition to their main facility in Tampa, FL. This expansion was a major need, necessary in large part to meet the high demands in a market that was facing low inventory, thereby having the capacity to keep much larger amounts of inventory on tap for their Dealer network. All the while, accomplishing this in the midst of a pandemic. “The more space we have, the more cars we can hold. It’s necessary in the current marketplace. Manufacturers are having a hard time supplying the demand for LSV’s in this country right now. But we are tripling our size, and tripling our inventory”, explains Williams. “Within the next 60 days we will have well over 2,000 golf cars in stock across our three locations. The supply of golf cars we will have will be the largest inventory supply by any low-speed vehicle or golf car company in America. Dealers will be able to buy what they want when they want.” As ICON fixes a major problem plaguing dealers, it’s evident that the best is yet to come for this industry-leading company.

Bintelli has been hard at work over the last 2-3 years, developing its vision of a new line of electric vehicles, the Bintelli Beyond. What once was just an idea has finally started to roll off the production line less about a year ago. Packed with more standard features than any other brand of street legal golf cars in its price point, the Bintelli Beyond is already the talk of the industry.

Each Bintelli Beyond is built in South Carolina and includes an aluminum chassis, Bluetooth sound system, reverse camera, AC motor, 3-point seat belts, 14” wheels, premium two-tone seats, LED lighting, 4-wheel hydraulic disc brakes, onboard smart charger… and more. Bintelli President, Justin Jackrel adds, “As an LSV manufacturer for the better part of two decades now, we knew our newest lineup had to wow not only our dealer family, but also their retail customers… and I couldn’t be happier! There isn’t a single cart in our current price point that has all of these standard features. The aluminum frame is really important to us because most of our customers live within driving distance of the water. Additionally, over the last several years we have seen that customers wanted sound systems, reverse cameras, and larger wheels… so we just decided to include them with each cart. After all of the hard work our team has put into this project, it’s exciting to finally be able to start shipping the Bintelli Beyond line-up to dealers and customers across the country!”
