yea... have a 4 wheeler for work, etc. but after almost a decade of using an electric vehicle it would be very hard to not have one...especially for turkey hunting
Are you talking about the newer models or the older ones? I'm going to guess our BBB is a 2010. Just not real impressive.

I am on my 4th season with a 48V Beast. It has been great as far as maintenance, but it will get stuck in the real nasty stuff. I was looking into the Polaris EV also, but people have said it weighs more than a battleship.
The beast just has rear brakes, I would go another route if you have steep terrain.

I have had 2 BBBs. They both sucked. I have a Polaris EV and it is tough. You can't hardly stick it without bottoming it out.
The EV rides MUCH smoother than a BBB as well.

The EV will be my next ride when the batteries in the beast crap out.

The 2010 and 2011 Polaris EVs suck.... Google the issues...get a 2012 or newer. They will climb some steep stuff, not sure about mud. Or find a cheap 2010 and pay $5000 for the aftermarket lithium battery upgrade kit..... supposedly gets 60 miles per charge on flat ground and batteries last 10 years and it's about 600 lbs lighter

For a new one, yes...but for around $10k you can build one.

Only 10 years?? BS it better last the rest of my LIFE, bro. For $20k, I could gravel all the roads on my land & ride my damn 4WD truck (in 2WD) to pickup deer, and have tons of $$$ left-over, to boot... I'm sorry, the pricing on some of these ATV's has reached an insane level... BGD
