Looks a lot nicer than the stockers. How do you like the EV?

For my use in the campground the EV can not be beat. They would not allow the standard ATV's like my 850XP. They do allow gas golf carts and gas side by sides. I can pull my jet-ski around without any problems. A lot of hills in our campground and I fell a lot safer with it than if I had gotten a Golf Cart. I need to make a video of it pulling the jet-ski up the boat ramp. It is pretty step. The jet-ski is just under 900 lbs and the trailer is almost 300 lbs. It is close to the Towing Capacity of the Ranger EV.

Glad you like it. Electric motors have tons of tourque. I don't think it would work for trails up here in New England but if you had a fairly flat area where you hunt I think the EV would be ideal. Nothing like a nearly silent way to get into your stand for the night.

When I came to the campground I was told there was some trails in the woods that you could ride. Noticed that they had not been traveled much. After getting on one I found many trees blow down across the trail. Guess the Golf Cart guys could not make it over them. One thing I found with the EV is that you can crawl over trees very easily. You don't have to wait for the clutch to engage it get moving. And in low the EV has some very strong pulling power. The only thing that is strange is it has some kind of traction control if the wheels start spinning, it will stop. Then you just have to back up a little and try it again a little less slower. Of course I keep it in the turf mode all the time and all You need to do is lock the diff or go into 4 wheel drive. I have not gotten stuck yet.
