Is it for you?
Best suited to
Riders with private land, farms or sanctioned tracks who want the biggest, most capable ACE with all-wheel drive on sand and loose ground.
Standout strength
Selectable front, rear or all-wheel drive from two Bafang hub motors, a 52V 25Ah (1,300Wh) battery, dual suspension and 203mm 4-piston brakes.
The main compromise
AMPD certifies it off-road only, so it cannot legally be ridden on Australian roads or paths.
Consider something else if
You want to ride on roads or paths. The ACE PRO has the same 95Nm torque and dual suspension in a road-compliant build.
Check before you buy
Check the backorder timing, and be clear on where you will ride it. On public roads or paths it would be treated as an unregistered motor vehicle.
