Why choose an UBCO 2X2 over an eBike?
More Oomph
With more torque and power than e-bikes (and no need to pedal), UBCO 2x2s have more grunt overall with a top speed of 30mph. On the other hand, most e-bikes are less powerful and typically reach a top speed of around 20mph..
Better traction
Maintain control over rough off-road terrain thanks to all-wheel drive traction. Built tough, UBCO 2x2s are more solid and durable than e-bikes, which are mostly single-wheel-drive and designed for on-road use.
Ride in comfort
Front and rear suspension, a large comfy seat (vs a small bicycle seat), no peddling or cranking through gears, UBCO offers better comfort than e-bikes. A maximum range of up to 75mi outruns most e-bikes at 18-50mi, depending on battery size.
Carry more
UBCO’s high-strength aluminium frame is designed to withstand rough terrain and heavy loads with the surface area and capacity to carry all your gear. 19 lug attachment points mean you can secure all sorts of equipment. Most e-bikes are nowhere near as robust or load capable.
Why choose an UBCO 2X2 over a traditional motorbike?
Easier to ride
A twist-and-go throttle, no clutch or gears, low center of gravity, and lightweight design, make UBCO easy and safe to ride. With a motorcycle (over 50cc), you need a special endorsement while a standard driver's license is generally all that’s required to ride UBCO road registrable models (requirements vary across jurisdictions, so be sure to check)
Better traction
The UBCO 2x2 is a two-wheel-drive bike, meaning it has independent electric motors in each wheel, providing better traction and control in difficult or off-road conditions. Most traditional motorcycles have only one rear-wheel drive.
Better for environment
Compared to a petrol motorbike, UBCO 2x2s provide a 95% reduction in carbon emissions. And being almost silent when running, you can enjoy nature without disturbing the peace. Traditional motorcycles are much noisier and more harmful on the environment.
Cheaper to run
The simplicity of the electric motorbike's design, fewer moving parts, and lower maintenance requirements make them easier and more cost effective to maintain than ICE bikes. UBCO 2x2s provide up to 94% reduction in operational fuel costs compared to common petrol farm motorbikes.
“The UBCO machine distinguished itself with its unique two-wheel drive capability. There’s still nothing on the market quite like it.” Forbes
“Off-road these things scorch!”

"Best made rugged eBikes around."
MENS HEALTH
“This isn’t an e-bike, or a mountain bike or dirt motorcycle. It’s its own animal.”
