Bad Boy Buggy
The Bad Boy Buggy is a unique UTV. The vehicle features two 15.4-horsepower electric motors powered by eight six-volt Trojan batteries and a 1,000-amp controller that controls the torque provided by the motors. According to the company, you can travel up to 20 miles at up to 18 miles per hour on a single charge. A charge meter provides information on fuel left. Fast on top end, the vehicle can also creep along quiet and slow. It features an electronic engine braking system that works quite well. Push a button on the dash to immediately slow down the engine. An extremely versatile vehicle, the rear seat folds up so four people can ride, with two facing rearward. Folding the rear seat forward creates a cargo space for gear or hauling your deer out. A rack is built in to tote tree stands. The vehicle has fairly high ground clearance and an 800-pound load capacity.

Bucket seats with molded-in cup holders and a small accessory box complete the cockpit area. Seats fold forward and the driver's seat is adjustable, with a roomy storage box under the passenger seat. The bed has an 800-pound load capacity, and total load capacity is 1,200 pounds. Slots in the bed sides make it easy to use tie-downs.
