I would sell my farm bike if anyone wanted to make me an offer . I built it myself from all new parts including the engine , rides really well and stands up on its own so hard to fall off . 11hp pull start engine , centrifugal clutch . Hyd rear brake . 20 mph top speed but gearing could be changed . Really good fun and gets loads of attention at shows and rallies . PM
Me if interested. View attachment 901124 View attachment 901125 View attachment 901126

it's a hellish colour.

Nice job though!

UBCO 2x2 seems to only have a 12month warranty and to qualify for the grant scheme it need a 24 month warranty, which is a shame.

@UBCO UK ,any comment on the EV grant and meeting the criteria for your machine to qualify?

He said this......

The product itself meets and exceeds the lifecycle warranty, we just need adjust from a period to a usage amount. We are on this but things are moving pretty slowly given the current climate.

So sounds like they’re working on it.

I believe the machine (just) exceeds the minimum weight threshold and it centres on manufacturer warranty period to qualify now

Sounds promising.

We are very much "on it". No promises of course, but we are of course going to do everything we can.

Soon sort the min weight requirement, surely...

As to the colour, you would wonder who chose white !
But stockboard, and some tech screws will adapt the back carrier soon enough for more practical use !

I'd like to see the sides "stockboarded" too... Kind of a fairing....

At the moment we have just ordered our first batch of machine that are due to come into dealer stock in mid September and these shall be both the ADVENTURE (road legal white bike) and the WORK (off road black bike). We shall offer 3 battery choices 2.1kw, 2.6kw and 3.1kw (to quell the range anxiety).

@UBCO UK , out of interest, what additional range do the bigger batteries offer over the base 2.1kw?

That looks much more desirable. Even to the non farming fraternity, Hipster-ish even.

Hipster is the aim I think, that is the 'city' version...
