UBCO launches first Special Edition electric adventure motorcycle

UBCO has launched a limited run of 2X2 Special Edition electric motorbikes.

It’s priced at $8999 via UBCO’s website or any UBCO dealer.

A twist on its classic AWD 2X2 Adventure bike, the Special Edition (SE) has been designed to intertwine both outdoor and urban worlds, catering to the modern-day adventurer.

Available in a limited edition green and electric orange palette, the SE bike is accessorised, ready-to-go and crafted to provide a comfortable, yet tough and durable AWD riding experience whether running essential errands or tackling the great outdoors, says UBCO.

In addition to a fresh design, key features include a revitalised braking system (with motorcycle-grade braking pads and more substantial brake levers), a built-in central tote, a compact rear duffle to carry small to extra-large items, expandable compartments (for laptops or pizzas), a Peak Design phone mount, and Giant Loop straps.

“We’re all about making adventure more accessible, opening up powersports to more people than ever before,” says UBCO chief product officer Colin Godby.

“Here we combine proven off-road toughness with added style and functionality to bridge the gap between the great outdoors and everyday life,” he explains.

“We know our product has a strong reputation within agricultural and conservation circles in New Zealand, so the idea behind the Special Edition is to introduce more urbanites to exploring off the beaten track.”
Godby says UBCO is providing a bike that seamlessly crosses both worlds, whether everyday errands, hitting the gym, checking the stock, commuting, surfing, or outdoor adventures.

He took the Special Edition for a test spin.

UBCO is developing alternative chemistries for its batteries and provides test rides, also connecting customers with their nearest dealer, office or upcoming event.

It has developed into a digitally connected platform including on- and off-road vehicles, batteries, accessories, and cloud-based subscription software.

Founded in New Zealand, UBCO is also in international markets including the US, the UK, Europe and Australia.
