Cincinnati-based GoSun has opened a 2026 Regulation Crowdfunding investment round through StartEngine Primary, LLC. This move follows the company filing its Form C with the SEC on September 30, 2026.

Why it matters

This latest capital raise supports the company’s expansion into electric mobility, specifically its upcoming line of solar-powered and electric-assisted transit products. The funding arrives as the company aims to move from its historical focus on solar cooking into broader consumer EV hardware.

GoSun has expanded its footprint beyond solar cookers with 350 EV chargers delivered to date. The new Moonrider 27 electric tractor, which features 27 hp, is currently open for $50 refundable reservations.

The players

The details

Timeline

Roadmap

GoSun’s transition into electric tractors and cargo bikes mirrors a broader industry trend where specialized equipment manufacturers are integrating solar-integrated power systems. This positions the company to compete against legacy machinery brands by lowering the barrier to entry for electrified rural and urban utility work.

Consumers interested in the Gopher Solar Cargo E-Bike or Moonrider 27 can secure their spot in the production line with a $50 refundable reservation. This allows early adopters to manage their financial commitment while waiting for the scheduled 2027 product rollout.

The takeaway

Interested investors should carefully review the Form C document to understand the financial risks associated with the company’s expansion. Potential customers should note that reservation fees are currently refundable for products not expected to arrive until 2027.

What happens next

The company is scheduled to fulfill reservations and begin deliveries of the Gopher Solar Cargo E-Bike and Moonrider 27 electric tractor in 2027.
