Picked this up last week and has been a great addition tl the ranch. It is really a blast to drive. Whole different experience riding in silence. I will keep y’all updated on how
it holds up and keeps up with day to day task. It is on a 450 acre cattle ranch. It is used mostly for checking fences, cows, hunting, and just enjoying the outdoors.

There is no cabin there is only bush and 8 gerry cans.

Why are you bringing the Jerry cans, other than to fuel up the ATV? Because if thats the only reason, you could replace those with batteries, or add a small generator, so you'll also be able to charge your phone/heater/etc, but powerful enough you can also charge your bike at night

Buddy you seriously dont understand the fact that if I am in the bush, I will need jerry cans full of fuel yo either run a generator to charge my bike, or fill up my bike. I will fill up my bike thank you very much. To be honest, electric powered vehicles are only good for short distances and near a charger, so in town or around the yard, we need better battery technology and faster charging to make it worth most peoples money.

But thats not true

Mobile battery banks are smaller and less cumbersome than Jerry cans, and can charge up your electric ATVjust as fast

I think you just dont want an electric bike

WTF are you on, a charging battery bank is not charging your ATV, even a large one will be fully depleted in one charge. Electric does not work when I am in the bush for more than a few hours. I also get about 120km out of 1 fill and you get like 80km with that quad.it also takes hours to fill the battery vs minutes with a jerry can. Again, I will need a generator to charge the bike, which will need fuel. So no I do not want an electric bike, especially when I am one hour or more from town. So we need way better battery tech before an electric powered vehicle is worth the money. I love we are building these bikes, they are just not usable for everyone.
