ELECTRIC Vehicle manufacturer UBCO has launched its 2021 product line-up . Long lauded for the practicality and versatility of their 2X2 Utility Bikes , UBCO has stepped it up a notch with their latest offering .

“ We now have the world ’ s toughest utility bikes ” says UBCO CEO , Timothy Allan . “ Our bikes are what we like to call all-terrain , all-utility , and all-performance .”

Released to the world this month , this is is the fifth generation UBCO product . The 2021 range includes the off-road only 2X2 Work Bike and the 2X2 Adventure Bike which can be ridden both on- and off-road . Both bikes are tougher than ever , with improved torque , power , and traction . The bikes are powered by the KXH Power Supply , another innovation from the team at UBCO .

“ Over the past two years plus , our product development and international supply chain team have made huge improvements to the performance , durability , security , and intelligence of our bikes . Now the rider experience is next level .” says Allan .

The 2X2 Work Bike is an unashamed return to UBCO ’ s roots . This purely off-road work horse is for the farmer , hunter , lifestyle

property owner , or outdoors person . Simplified to its essence , rendered in all black with lever guards and full off-road tires , the 2X2 Work Bike is ruggedized and ready for a hard day ’ s work right out of the box . This is the lightest , simplest , and toughest 2X2 to date .

Sitting alongside this black beauty is the versatile on- or off-road 2X2 Adventure Bike , in traditional UBCO white . Perfect for commuters , delivery riders , or weekend adventurers , the Adventure Bike is globally homologated for on-road use and ECE approved .

The 2X2 Adventure Bikes can also be fitted with the UBCO telematics platform . This allows full fleet management and connectivity . It brings vehicle diagnostics , predictive maintenance , fleet monitoring and more . Making it the perfect choice for last mile delivery or rental businesses .

What UBCO have cleverly done is create a product platform . Alongside the introduction of the two bike models , they have also introduced the stand-alone KXH Power Supply , available in three capacities . By mixing and matching bike

and power supply they ’ ve , in effect , launched 6 new models . Customers can choose the bike and power supply capacity that best suits their needs and applications .

A farmer might go for a 2X2 Work Bike with a 2.1kWh Power Supply . They need an off-road vehicle that ’ s rugged , durable and lightweight . Whereas a delivery driver might opt for a 2X2 Adventure Bike with a 3.1kWh Power Supply . They need a road registerable vehicle that can cope with paved or gravel roads , carry their cargo , and withstand the daily high workload .

“ There ’ s been huge interest , especially in the black Work Bike . We ’ ve super ruggedised it for off-road conditions . It will be hard , for farmers in particular , to look past this bike as a tool for their daily work ,” says Allan . “ But it ’ s exciting to offer a range of options to our customers

– covering both urban and rural applications , on- and off-road , for individuals or commercial fleets . There are so many situations where our bikes make sense .”

“ To date , our customers love the fact that our bikes are so quiet and effortless to ride and manoeuvre . The new bikes build on this legacy and amplify it . The power to weight ratio is just right , we ’ ve gained 20 % better motor efficiency , and made a myriad of improvements to the control and handling ,” says Timothy Allan . “ They ’ re a real joy to ride .”

UBCO say to look out for their distinctive black or white electric utility bikes on a city street , forest track , farm , or orchard near you . The 2021 product line-up includes options for commuting , tourism , delivery , agriculture , horticulture , hunting , adventure , and more .
