RIDE REVIEW I UBCO SPECIAL EDITION 2X2
P82
on my mind since Georgia law
also says that operating a motor
vehicle on public roads without
a license plate is a "criminal of-
fense." Sounds serious.
Anyway, enough with all the
confusion about what it is;
instead, let's focus on what it
does. Ubco's website says that
"Ubco was founded on the idea
of a rugged all-wheel-drive elec-
tric utility bike. We have rapidly
evolved into an Electric Adven-
ture Vehicle brand focused on
making every day adventure
more accessible." The "more
accessible" part means "easy
enough for anyone to ride," and
that it is. No clutch, no gears,
nothing but a twist throttle, and
away you go. But do be careful!
You'll notice that the name
of this story is "Electric Slide,"
a play on words that holds true
with this spunky little two-wheel-
drive machine that will quickly
spin the front wheel if you're
on a slick surface. Fun if you're
expecting it, but not so fun if
you're not.
The Ubco is equipped with a
1KwH hub motor on each wheel.
As a result, the bike will climb
like a mountain goat, but the
technique for getting up steep
hills on loose terrain is very dif
-
You'll find a 1KwH hub motor
in each wheel.
Got some work to do around the farm? The battery-powered Ubco
2x2 utility motorbike will make some fun out of it.
All you need to know is right here.
