Volt Quads has launched a new electric ATV with a standout feature: the VQ is designed and manufactured in the UK, setting it apart from most modern four-wheeled utility vehicles produced in the Far East. This lightweight agricultural machine boasts a solid specification, including a 40mph top speed, 50-mile range, 900kg towing capacity, and a 2.5-hour charge time. It also features a swappable battery design. It is made in Telford, Shropshire.
VQ designer Fred Chugg has decades of experience with quad bikes on his farm on Exmoor. Having diversified his farm operations to include country trail tours, he brings practical knowledge and a unique understanding of what British landowners require from their ATVs.
Charles Anderson, chairman of Volt Quads, said: “We have created a new way for landowners to work their estates with UK-made technology. The VQ gives landowners the smoothest and most peaceful ride on the market. The bike is cost-efficient to own and operate, particularly at a time of significant petrol price volatility, making it an ideal time to shift to electric vehicles. It is ideal for emissions-free land management, but best of all, it is a joy to ride.”
The VQ is priced from around £15,750 +VAT.
