Cost of Ownership
Cost of ownership beats current gas powered UTVs in the market. The closed motor system means no oil changes, no filter changes, no belt changes, and no transmission fluid to worry about. Brakes will also last longer as a result of the regenerative braking system taking some of the pressure off of the braking system and turning that into power for the vehicle.Vehicle displayed is a prototype.
