Summary
GoSun has announced the Moonrider, an all-electric tractor for North America with optional fold-out solar panels or a solar charging station. The company lists a $19,995 retail price and says early 2027 availability is planned.
GoSun has announced the Moonrider, an all-electric tractor intended for farms, homesteads and property maintenance in North America. The company says the tractor will use an onboard battery and a high-torque electric drivetrain, with optional solar equipment that can recharge the battery while the vehicle is working or parked outdoors.
GoSun lists a retail price of $19,995 and says the Moonrider will be available in early 2027, with reservations handled through its website. The announcement describes this as the company’s first all-electric solar tractor.
How the Moonrider is designed to work
The tractor is built around an electric drivetrain rather than a diesel combustion engine. Electric motors can deliver torque immediately at low speed, a characteristic GoSun says will help the Moonrider haul, till, mow and travel over challenging terrain without the lag associated with an engine building power.
The optional high-efficiency, fold-out solar panel array is intended to collect energy during field work or while the tractor is parked. GoSun says the system can extend operating time and reduce dependence on grid charging. Buyers can also choose an optional solar charge station for replenishing the onboard battery bank.
The company describes the tractor as quiet and free of diesel exhaust during operation. Its electric powertrain also has fewer moving parts than a conventional internal-combustion engine, which GoSun presents as a way to reduce routine servicing. These characteristics could be useful around livestock, homes and small properties where noise, exhaust and fuel handling are practical concerns.
Uses beyond driving and field work
GoSun says the Moonrider can serve as a mobile power source when fitted with its optional power-generator equipment. The tractor’s power bank can then supply electric tools, water pumps and emergency equipment through an auxiliary outlet.
That feature positions the vehicle as more than a replacement for a diesel tractor. It could also act as an off-grid energy source for property maintenance or other work where access to grid electricity is limited. The announcement does not provide the battery capacity, motor output, charging time, operating range or load specifications needed to assess how long it could perform those tasks in practice.
Price, reservations and demonstration
GoSun says the Moonrider’s $19,995 retail price is competitive with diesel tractors. The company plans to demonstrate the vehicle at the Farm Progress Show in Boone, Iowa, from 1–3 September 2026, at booth VITW2200.
Reservations are expected to open through GoSun, while customer availability is scheduled for early 2027. The announcement provides the planned timing and price but does not specify an initial delivery quantity or detailed regional rollout within North America.
