Stomp Quads has announced that it will sell the Kayo range of electric ATVs starting with the EA70 (FOX-E). This ATV is primarily aimed at youth riders and is claimed to have equivalent performance to the popular Kayo 70cc four-stroke model. Stomp says more models are on the way, including adult-sized bikes designed for the utility class.
The FOX-E is to be priced at around 30% more than its petrol equivalent. Despite this, it’s bound to find favour amongst the many consumers who want a simple, reliable, hydrocarbon-free powertrain which is virtually silent, if only to keep the neighbours on-side.
This little electric ATV has an extremely smooth, controlled power delivery with exceptional throttle progression. Reverse can be selected at the flick of a switch, and the ATV will crawl slowly and safely backwards. In total, there are four driving modes, each calibrated to different user demands and abilities, with peak power coming in at a healthy 1.4kW. Power is supplied by a 48V 20Ah lead-acid battery pack, with a claimed range of around 50km, depending on rider and terrain.
Danny Taylor from Stomp commented, “Being petrol heads, we were a little sceptical to begin with, but once we tested the little quad we very quickly fell in love with how well it performed. It oozes quality and refinement, which we expected, but we were blown away by the calibration work Kayo has achieved. We put the bike to work with 8-year-old and 12-year-old riders to see how they got on, and in both instances, we couldn’t get them off the bike until the battery eventually faded.”
The FOX-E is £1149. Call 01730 720020. Full spec list available at www.kayo-atv.com.
