The Ubco 2X2 is a two-wheel-drive electric utility bike suited for agricultural work. The Ubco bike has a load capacity of 440 pounds to help move equipment around the farm. Its dual electric motors, knobby tires, and lack of a complex drivetrain make it perfect for tackling rugged terrain under harsh conditions. A step-through frame and 110-pound weight make it easy to manage. Its low-mounted 40-Ah battery not only powers the bike, but it can be used as a mobile power source for tools and other equipment. The Ubco 2X2 charges in four hours, and offers a range of 62 to 93 miles per charge. See the bike in action in the video above, visit Ubco's website and read more at Treehugger.
