Quad

Just like their automotive counterparts, gas-powered quad bikes (aka ATVs) aren't exactly poster children for the green movement. That's why we're seeing an increasing number of electric models, the latest being the carbon-fiber-bodied Equad.

Stellantis has pulled back the curtains on an adorable electric micro car called the Topolino, which is described as the "perfect urban mobility device" and comes in two distinct styles – one that's closed up and another that does away with the doors.

It looks a bit like a Twizy, but the Triggo EV has a few neat tricks that Renault's city roller doesn't. It leans into corners, at higher speeds its front wheels are spread out, but slow down and they can be pulled in for easier parking.

Polish engineer Jack Skopinski has launched a 4x4 version of the Mountain Cart he announced early last year, and upped the power for a unique-looking Mountain Board flavor of the Boardzilla revealed at around the same time.

A couple of years ago, we covered a two-seat electric pedalcycle called the Screecher that rocked a curved solar canopy above the rider to charge its batteries. Now the next generation is going into limited production.

Quads are great for traversing rough terrain, while golf carts are well-suited to short low-speed jaunts. So, what happens if you want a vehicle with the qualities of both? Well, that's where the Ripper ATV is designed to come in.

​Jack Skopinski's rivet-packing electric trikes and four-wheelers like to tilt. It's become something of a signature for EV4 machines. But now the Polish engineer has created an off-road electric trail hugger that doesn't sport a tilting mechanism – the EV4 Mountain Cart.​

DRR USA out of Brunswick, Ohio, has been making gas-powered all-terrain vehicles for almost two decades, and is now moving into a new clean and quiet production zone with the launch of the Stealth Electric ATV.

Screecher riders can zip up to 15 mph on motor power alone, or choose from five levels of pedal assist. The onboard battery can be plugged in for a top up, or users can park up in a sunny spot and let the solar panels do their thing.

After first adding to its line of electric two- and three-wheelers with a four-wheeled variant a couple of years ago, Canada’s Daymak has followed up with another electrified all-terrain vehicle boasting more than double the potential range of its beastly predecessor.

​If you already know of Daymak, it's likely because of its off-road electric scooters. What you might not realize, however, is that the company recently ventured into the world of four-wheelers. Its latest creation is the fully-electric all-wheel-drive Ultra Beast ATV.

If four drive wheels are better than two for off-roading, it should follow that six are better than four. Six drive wheels provide the formula behind the new Can-Am Outlander 6x6 1000 XT work and recreation vehicle, creating a workhorse that can haul and speed with a full half-dozen clawing wheels.
