I’ve never really ridden an ATV, though I always wanted to. They look fun, and driving through nature would be a nice change of pace. But ATV’s are noisy, dirty (due to largely unregulated small engines), and in the wrong hands, very destructive. While we can’t do much about people choosing to tear up a plot of land with their off-roader, there are alternatives when it comes to noise and emissions.
Last year we heard about Barefoot Motors electric ATV, and now EVS has thrown their hat in the ring with the Eco Electric ATV. It offers three times the torque of its gas-powered counterparts, giving it a towing capacity of a thousand pounds! Not bad for a little ATV eh?
