Thoughts please - electric off-road vehicles

[MR ELECTRIC]

We have been developing off road electric vehicles for some time now.
The Tarail Blazer Pro was intially put into production for the extreme off road enthusiast, but we found out very quickly when we added the two wheel trailer we begun to have interst from land owners.
The vehicle has 4WD with 1500Watts on each wheel with a range of 70Km
The trailer will hold apprx 450Kg
Would this suit farmers and growers?? I would apprecite your thoughts please

Better seat would be needed, also how is it priced.

Cost.
Battery life.
Charging cycles and time ,cost to charge up?
All to take into account.

Looks like 2 segways welded together!

6kW is around 8bhp, compared to around 30 for my old Honda quad. I have a feeling that will be a bit low for most farmers.

Speed and other specifications would be interesting though.

But it's all available from zero rpm.

But it's all available from zero ram.

Yes, it is, but still feels like it might be a bit asthmatic, hence asking for specifications.

If it had an expensive critical component that could be removed from it and stored in the house to deter theft it would be a bonus.
Don’t really need big payload here just nippy enough to round up the sheep and carry driver plus 50kg though if it will cope that trailer and 450 kg then so much the better.
More than £2k and it’s getting expensive for what it is.
Can it out run a sheep?

 

[DrWazzock]

Without knowing top speed and price it’s a bit difficult to comment. Seat looks a bit spartan. Is it a badged Chinese import?

 

[DrWazzock]

As it is, conventional diesel or petrol powered quads have become victims of their own success in the way that it’s almost impossible to prevent their theft in this area. My brother and I don’t want something that flash or expensive so a budget vehicle that didn’t have too much street cred or widespread appeal would suit us. We had thought of souping up a mobility scooter or taking the deck off a ride on lawn mower. That’s all we really need. We have been rounding the sheep up using a Renault Clio but it’s finally bit the bullet.

Not quite “Dukes of Hazzard”!

Best let me have it , if its still going after4 weeks its s winner , I can break anything

 

[Stewartry hill]

Power seems a bit low. Could do with some bodywork to keep some weather off the rider

 

[Overby]

Definite potential. Needs a better seat, maybe a 2 person bench? How stable is it, it might just be the spartan design but it looks like it might roll? I asked the dealer about changing our Polaris for an electric version but he said "they're shite".
A reliable, cheap(ish) EV that will do the job will be a godsend, even if it does look a bit 'remedial races' - might put the pikeys off.

Looks like it would be good for corporate stuff, trekking etc should be much safer than quad.

 

[B R C]

I would be happy to evaluate one for you....

 

[uztrac]

Golf courses should be your target market in its current format.

Off road disability vehicles. Retired farmers. Shoots. Fruit growers

 

[beardface]

Seat could do with improvement, my eyes are already watering at the thought of hitting a rabbit hole at speed with it.

 

[Spuddler]

Make it remote control so it can follow as your putting stakes out.
