Earth Electric Utility Vehicle Should Be The New ATV


The Model One ATV is an electric, all terrain vehicle outed as the the world's first "Earth Utility Vehicle." A creation of Barefoot Motors, the Model One has Mythbuster legend Jamie Hyneman as design engineer. Their goal was to create a vehicle designed to work in nature that would be eco-friendly while still providing needed power. This is their first model, with a lithium battery-powered electric motor, is equipped with both high and low gears, all wheel drive, regenerative braking and 1000 lbs of towing capacity. It has all the power of a standard ATV, but with zero emissions. The Model One ATV could be the future of ATVs, and being all electric, it's logical too. [Barefoot Motors]
