New to the forum. New to UTVs. New to Electric motors. I just got a 2021 Hisun Sector E to help with moving stuff on my steep 5 acre wooded mountain patch. Plus I thought it would be fun on the gravel roads in the "neighborhood". Because we are remote and part time to the property, I didn't want the hassle of dumping out old gas or messing with oil and filters and all the usual maintenance of a ICE. But the biggest reason for me was the noise. I test drove the Axis utvs at Tractor Supply Co and they were LOUD. Seemed to ride rough too. If you want quiet, then electric is the way to go. But it does come with a high price tag. And all the electric models are still in their infancy. So its a bit of a gamble too. I bought the property for quiet. I wanted to keep it quiet. I liked that the Hisun had the dry cell batteries so there is no maintenance of checking and adding water. I'm a little worried about their lifespan especially after one person's poor utube review about them. But the dealer said the company took that to heart so hopefully changes were made for better batteries. There were no Lithium battery options available anywhere near me. Polaris is supposed to have one later this year. I liked that the Hisun came standard with roof, windshield, winch and trailer hitch. I have had the sector for only one day and worked it and road it good. So far I have a big smile on my face. I wish there was a category for this model on the forum here. Meanwhile, maybe folks will share their insights/ experiences on this thread. I'd like to learn as much about the sector e as I can. There isn't much info in the owners manual.

Hi there, We are a company based in Taiwan and we are developing electric conversion kit for UTVs. We aim to build a complete kit for Polaris Ranger 1000 or 570 with low cost and easy installation. Just would like to hear you opinion about that. Should we go for 570 first or 1000? are the powertrain similar between both? We learned that Ranger 1000 is the most popular UTV sold in the USA with most market penetration. Or you have any other opinion please let me know. As far as we know there are some cheap conversion kits sold on Amazon but it requires lot of modification on the vehicle. Thank you very much.

All, Have been looking into going the electric route. Currently have Deere and Kawasaki UTV's we use at our duck club. We've been thinking about going electric due to noticeable disturbance to the birds caused by engine noise. Anyway, it seems that the forums are somewhat devoid of Intimidator discussions regarding the good, bad and the ugly. Wanted to put this out there. I have also looked into the Polaris EV and have located one here in Missouri. Just an open question. I'd love to hear about anyone's experience with the electric Intimidator or the Polaris for that matter.
