ATVs stand for “all-terrain vehicles.” Defined as motorized vehicles, these models are by nature, designed to travel on low-pressure/non-pneumatic tires. They should also include a seat straddle and handlebars.
Depending on your local legislation, they are not meant for use on high-speed roads such as highways, remaining restricted to roads and paths. Read through our guide to U.S. PLEV law to better understand this topic. Today, the term ‘ATV’ is loosely applied to UTVs (Utility Terrain Vehicles) and even dirt bikes. However, for this list, we are focusing solely on purpose-built ATVs.
ATVs are not immune to the electrification drive sweeping through the automobile industry. The quest for a cleaner environment has forced manufacturers to look beyond traditionally gas-powered ATVs. Now, the market has opened up to include several eco-friendly all-terrain vehicle alternatives fitted with electric powertrains. Here, we have identified a few options that offer the best return on your investment should you ever be in the market for an electric ATV.
~$27,400
It is one of the most expensive ATVs on the market, but the Lithium Prestige offers real value for money performance-wise and overall build quality. Eco Charger is a world-leading manufacturer of electric ATVs and the Lithium Prestige upholds that reputation in terms of speed, power, and build quality.
~$20,500
The Eco Charger Eliminator makes this list due to its versatility and performance. It’s a more cost-effective yet downgraded model of the Lithium Prestige but still packs a formidable punch with its 72V Li-ion battery. The inclusion of regenerative braking, 2/4WD options and brilliant build quality are other strong positives of the Eliminator 4WD.
~$15,000
Designed for snow, trail riding, off-roading and hauling, the American-made DRR EV Safari is built tough. Capable of towing up to 362 kg, this electric ATV boasts marginally better performance than the Eco Charger Eliminator, even if it has fewer features. Then, there is the fact that it is also about $5,000 cheaper than the Eliminator ATV.
~$6,700
The Eco-Rider Explorer G.T. is hard to beat when it comes to value for money. The performance offered is almost on-par with other much more expensive electric ATVs. Among other things, the ATV comes equipped with a 4WD Direct Drive that pairs well with the 60 V 50aH battery. A very nifty feature is the ability to switch to 2WD where possible to conserve battery power.
~$1,900
The CyberQuad makes an excellent choice for a kids ATV/quad bike and is full of features. The geometric design language—which echoes that of the upcoming Cybertruck—is one of its stand-outs, but there are plenty of other features to keep kids (and we daresay, adults) engaged.
Starts at ~$10,000 but goes up to $23,999 for the longest-range option
With a whopping 225 miles on a single charge, the Dayak Beast ATV Ultimate ranks among the longest-range electric ATVs you can buy today. It draws its strength from a 60-V, 40-Ah lithium-ion battery, with a 60-V, 50 Ah lead acid battery as backup. The Canada-made ATV also boasts features like heated hand-grips for additional comfort, stereo speakers and a winch.
~$9,000
The DRR EV Lightning ATV is the second all-electric ATV in DRR’s lineup and is billed as the industry’s first full-size electric sport ATV. It is based on DRR’s gasoline-powered 450cc ATV and shares the same chassis and suspension components. However, instead of a combustion engine, the Lightning E.V. gets a powerful 5kW motor that generates 21.5 hp. It’s enough to get the ATV over moderate inclines, making this well-suited for adventures like eco-friendly tours in the backcountry.
~$750.00
Like the Tesla CyberQuad, the Razor Dirt Quad is designed for kids and is perfect for when you want your children to follow you for a ride in the countryside. The ATV benefits from a well-balanced suspension setup that comes in handy for tackling small bumps and uneven surfaces. Acceleration and braking are controlled by the handlebars, which are also completely adjustable depending on the rider’s height.
Starts from ~$19,200
The EZRaider introduces a refreshing take on ATV design with its simplistic and functional looks. Innovative features include an all-wheel-drive system with 1200W wheel hub motors that independently feed direct torque to each wheel as needed. The HD4 can also be fitted with accessories such as a skid plate, luggage carrier, removable seat upgrade and an external battery pack for a complete experience.
Starts at ~$13,980
The Coyote 4WD is another ATV that takes a minimalistic approach to its design. One of the major highlights is that its design and layout allow it to be used by individuals with a wide range of accessibility needs. According to Outrider USA, the company behind the coyote, the plan was to build an ATV ‘that packs as much off-road capability as possible into the most compact package.’ The coyote certainly fits the bill with its lightweight construction and outdoor capabilities.
