Bad Boy Buggy |
Bad Boy Buggies has carved out a unique niche with their approach to UTVs. The Bad Boy "SUV" is not powered by a gas engine; it is propelled by two 15.4 horsepower DC electric motors that combine to provide about 31 horsepower-equivalent to a 400cc+ 4-stroke engine. The electric operation makes the Buggy exceptionally quiet and some believe that this extra-quiet drive system helps them be more successful. Another advantage of the electric drive train is that changes in elevation do not affect it. Gas powered engines on the other hand, can lose power at higher elevations due to the lower density of oxygen in the air, unless they are electronically fuel injected or the carburetor is re-jetted. Automatic four-wheel-drive is standard. Bad Boy Buggies have 22" tires front and rear, and drum brakes. They come with some useful features including a windshield and roof, storage baskets in front and on top, and an integrated battery charger. The Buggies are attractively wrapped in Mossy Oak Break-Up or Realtree Hardwoods camouflage. Visit www.badboybuggies.com for more information.reviewed by: Gary Gustafson [2008 UTV roundup]
