Zep - The great thing about the Ranger EV is it is the standard Ranger chassis and power train. A proven system just electric instead of gas. As far as ride goes I think it is just the opposite. I would venture to say almost every UTV probably has a better ride than almost every ATV. Just the nature of the beast.
Thanks for this info wbuffetjr. Good interesting stuff. Love the chassis powertrain part. I have great respect for the Polaris brand...gotta be one of the best. Like you say Engineer Pass is crawling with them.
But ya know reading these posts it's pretty clear that each user has their own particular needs for these type machines. My primary use will be to get me, the wife, the dog, and maybe two guests
very quietly back in the woods in one "vehicle". Passengers like elderly, or small kids that we want to take on rides thru the paths in the woods that normally will not be able to experience the deep woods. For what I want....an old truck or jeep just doesn't really work.
So while I really like the Ranger EV and the Intimatdor EV...I dont think either one of them make a back part that has the fold down seats that enables 4 people to ride like the Textron. The sales director at Intimidator told me today the larger side x side they make does not come in electric. Also he said the electric Intimidator does not come with power steering like their other UTV's.
So I need to decide how important getting 4 people together on a joy ride is to me. If I can live with basically 2 seats...the Polaris or Intimidator may work. BTW have you seen the seats on the Intimidator?
