Hello!

We hadn't disappeared, but we we have just realised is that our comments and replies were being deleted since we had "a non commercial" account!
So £108 paid and we are here to help in any way we can.

Machines are now in stock at all our current UK dealers and any and all will be delighted to offer a demo ride to anyone that wishes.
Our fully list of dealer can be found here:- HERE

Reading back through the comments, we can certainly assist in organising a test ride in Suffolk and Shropshire, just email us on [email protected] or call 0800 448 0582 and we shall attend personally.

Anything else you need to know, just shout.

We'll go back through the comment and re reply with our shiny new account!

Had a shot of 1 yesterday. Goes up to 28 mph. Plenty of poke, and the 2 wheel drive is good in the wet slittery bits. It dies off on the steep stuff, but would still pull me up the steepest bits I’ve got at 9/10 mph.
It is very user friendly, and the front and back racks will hold a sheep tup, or dog easily .
For stock checking I think I’ll will be great. Easier doing gates etc than on my Honda 230, as you don’t have to find neutral, or turn off.
The brakes are good too.
It was the road version with knobbly tyres that I rode, as I think they only have the road versions to sell for now. I’m not sure when (if ) they will have the black farmer version in.
All in , I thought it was great. Price needless to say will dictate if I get one .
But great job to @UBCO UK for bringing one over to the borders for me to have a go !

You are very welcome @Bill dog. Derek from ATV Services shall be in touch.

We have a dealer in Suffolk (near Diss) EEMC 01379 898987 that would be delighted to offer you a test drive. Any issues contact us directly and we will be delighted to help 0800 448 0582 [email protected]
I spoke with him. I went in to detail what I needed. His view was I'd still be an early adopter and might even be in Zero territory rather than anything his various other ranges (your's included) could offer. Sadly I'm coming to the conclusion it's still going to remain petrol (and I have an open mind)

Broken quote (which I can't fix for you any more !!!)
Quiet. Great to approach stock and not get deafened going along country lanes for 25 miles each way

Light. Put it down on it's side when you need to attend stock fast etc . Also if you want to carry it on a trailer / motorcaravan etc etc

Less to go wrong - must be correct compared with oil, injectors etc etc

A belt drive scooter will be much less hassle to maintain compared with a chain that stretches and needs oiling - electric or petrol

Not even belt drive on the UBCO!! :)
