Engine: 500cc single cylinder, 4-Stroke, Water Cooled. Be very careful. Compare this unit to the $10,000 Yamaha Rhino/ $10,000 John Deere Gator/ $10,000 Kawasaki Mule and the $10,000 Polaris Ranger. You will long remember this unit as the first real assault into the Japanese controlled Utility Vehicle/big ATV market.
The engine is made by Jiangsu Linhai Yamaha Motor Company Limited which is a joint venture with Yamaha Motor of Japan as of 2003 (http://www.yamaha-motor.co.jp/global/news/2003/08/01/joint.html). Yamaha Motor is a 30% owner of this Chinese joint venture as seen in the link above. They were set up to make engines for Yamaha, so the engine is made by a Yamaha owned Chinese factory. We have not had any engine problems and it is very quiet.
Savings: We had an Oklahoma Yamaha/Honda/Suzuki dealer that came by and practically cried in my showroom. He told me that with all the options that are included on this unit, his dealer cost on one of the brand names would be $10,000 and of course with his profit he would sell it for $12,000 + $960 sales tax (8%) $12,960. I asked him why he didn?t sell our BMX UTV. He said if I sell yours for $4695, he wouldn't be able to sell his $12,960 units and that he had too much money tied up in inventory to have that problem. Remember no sales tax if you are not in Texas or Washington State. This alone is a huge savings compared to buying from your local dealer.
Transmission: Automatic CVT (continuously variable transmission) with Shaft Drive, This automatic transmission means no manual shifting and no clutch. Just start it with the key in neutral, shift it into Forward, and step on the gas pedal and go. The shift for Park/Reverse/Neutral/Low/High is between the two seats. The unit is very smooth on takeoff like your car.
4 Wheel Drive: This is the only reliable 500cc or bigger utility vehicle from China now. The factory has been making these for 2.5 years and the quality is nearly faultless. The manufacturer of this unit in China has been making cars for years, so most of the technology used to make this unit was from the car industry and not from the small ATV industry.
Maximum Speed: 43 mph (actual factory spec)
Power: 36.6 HP (actual factory spec)
Turning Radius: 145 inches (12 foot)
Starter: Keyed electric start and recoil starter
Battery: 12 Volt
Steering: Rack and Pinion steering for effortless steering.
Suspension: Independent Suspension
Front: Dual Hydraulic Shocks, adjustable shocks allow driver to adjust dampening to match for specific driving conditions.
Rear: Hydraulic Shock, adjustable shocks allow driver to adjust dampening to match for specific driving conditions.
Brakes:
Front: Dual Disc brakes controlled from foot brake.
Rear: Dual Disc brakes controlled from foot brake.
Tires:
Front: 25"x 8"x12" (Outside Diameter x Width x Inside Diameter)
Rear: 25"x 10"x12" (Outside Diameter x Width x Inside Diameter)
Fuel: Regular Unleaded Gasoline.
11 Gauge Steel Frame: All BestPriceATV quads use tubular frames with a powder-coated finish. Don't be fooled by cheap imitations, all of ours use 11 gauge steel frames while others use 14, 16 or even 18 gauge steel frames (smaller is thicker). The roll bars are very thick at 1.75 inch diameter.
Floorboard and Kickboard: The floorboard and kickboard (kickboard is the covering behind the gas and brake pedals) is made of steel diamond plate. The diamond plate is a raised cross pattern that makes the surface skid proof and wear resistant. Often name brands are using plastic here to save cost.
Fuel Capacity: 5.8 Gallons (actual factory spec). Steel gas tank, not plastic. Many of the brands named UTVs use plastic to save cost.
Lubrication: The unit comes already filled with engine oil.
Ground Clearance: 7.7"
Dimensions: 98.5" x 53.5" x 77" (length x width x height). This is 8 feet 2 inches long. The length is from the front bumper to the back of the rear tires. The 53.5" width is the widest measurement from outside of wheel well to outside of wheel well. If you include the side view mirrors it is 60" wide. If you need to get through a narrow door opening, it is easy to remove the side mirrors.
Box Dimensions: 92.5 x 52 x 48.5 (Box Length x Box Width x Box Height)
Seat Size: each bucket seat is 16.7" wide. Distance from top of seat to top of headrest is 32". Ground to top of seat is 32.5". Floorboard to top of seat is 18.5". Measurement from top of seat to inside of the roof is 43.5". When a 6"2" person sits inside it, there is an extra 8.5" from the top of his head to the inside roof, so someone whom is 7'0" still would have plenty of headroom. So, headroom is not a problem.
Distance to gas and brake pedals: It is 32" from back of seat to brake pedal. It is 35" from back of the seat to the gas pedal. If you have any concern about reaching the pedals, sit up against the wall and measure from the wall to your toes, this will simulate your sitting in the UTV's seat and trying to touch the pedals.
Foot room: The minimum distance between the vertical wall beneath the seat to the wall behind the gas pedals is 15.5 inches for your left foot. This means that someone with a size 12 shoe (13 inches long) still has 2.5 inches in front of his shoe. There is much more room than this for your right foot.
Body room: Someone whom is 6 foot 2 and 230 pounds can easily get in and out of this unit. Someone whom is 300 pounds will have some problems though because there will not be enough room between his stomach and the steering wheel to drive comfortably. The distance from the steering wheel to the back of the seat is 14.5 inches. To get a feel for this distance, if you sit in your car and adjust the seat to a distance of 14.5 inches to the steering wheel and then get in it, this will simulate the amount of room inside this UTV. It is also 26.5 inches from the bottom on the steering wheel to the floorboard.
Wheel Base: 71" (distance from front to back axle)
Wheel Span: front=41.6", rear=42.1" (front wheel span is the distance between the two front tires)
Unit Weight: 1212 pounds, Weight in Packaging=1320 pounds.
Shipping container: 90.6" x 51.2" x 47.2"
Max. Weight Capacity: 2200 pounds (including cargo and driver and passenger).
Dump Bed Capacity: 660 pounds. The cargo boxes inside measurements are 43.2" wide x 32.3" long and 10.5" deep. The bottom of the dump bed is diamond plated steel for durability, wear and skid resistance. The rest of the whole dump bed, both inside and out is all thick steel for durability. Many name brand dump beds use plastic to save cost. This dump bed is big enough for 2 bales of hay stacked 2 high, or 4 bales of hay (each bale 36" x 18" x 18"). The dump bed has a lift gate that when opened hangs free (drops down vertically) for better clearance.
Features:
Rear Electric Dump Bed (controlled by switch on dashboard). Screw Driven which is easier maintenance than hydraulic.
Pintle Hitch: for pulling heavy loads. Towing capacity is 660 pounds. Located on the rear on the unit, the interchangeable tow hitch is easy to remove to fit any of your own hitches for such accessories as plows, lawn mowers and trailers.
Rugged Composite Shell - front hood, sides and top
Dashboard - Speedometer, Odometer, & Engine Temperature and Fuel gauge. Do the $10,000 name brands have this? No.
Other controls: Engine kill switch, Dump Control Switch, windshield wiper controls. The windshield wiper 2-speed control is a lever mounted to the side of the steering column similar to that in a car. Horn on steering wheel. Emergency lights and turning signal lever.
Lights: Headlights. High beam/ Low beam headlight switch.
Front Glass Windshield - you can only see the glass windshield in one of the pictures. When we erased the distracting background, it often meant deleting the front windshield from the photos. Anyway some name brand UTVs have a plastic windshield that fades to a yellowish color with time. The plastic ones scratch easily and look nasty. Other budget UTVs have no windshield. The windshield helps protect the riders from flying insects and rain. The windshield can be removed if you should want to along with the roll bars and windshield frame to make a convertible style.
Front Windshield Wipers - two speed control. Yes this unit has an electric windshield wiper, customers cannot believe it.
Power Winch - 2000 pound. This Winch can be used to pull another utv out of the mud (usually less than 1000 pounds) or it can be used to pull this utv out of the mud. Cable length is 46 feet. How often does that happen? Is it worth spending an extra $2000 or $5000 for name brands to get the 4wd option? What I have noticed is customers want the 4x4 but they do not want to spend the extra money for it. Also the engine on this UTV is mounted towards the mid-back which puts more weight over the back wheels for better traction.
4 Wheel Drive - remember, the power winch can pull you out should you get stuck. It is rear wheel drive.
Includes: Tool Kit (includes lug wrench) and large Owner's Manual
Electric Fuel Pump - Vacuum fuel pumps have proven unreliable.
Adjustable Mirrors ? hand adjust to fit your height
Cigarette Lighter ? Use to power your cell phone, radio or personal mp3 player.
Plastic body guards ? Located on the front and sides of the unit, these plastic guards protect the body of the unit from brush and branches.
Coolant and Brake Fluid refill pipes mounted under the hood with an easy-to-open cover located on the driver?s side of the hood.
Passenger side storage cubby.
Two cup holders located between the seats.
Front Brush Guard ? Protects the front of the unit from brush, rocks and debris.
Emergency brake - lever located between the seats.
Locking gas cap - attention to detail
Emergency and signal lights on front and rear. Rear tail and brake lights. Yes, hazard lights, high and low beam headlights, turning signals, yes it has all the things to make it road worthy but at this time I believe that Arizona is the only state that allows them on the road.
Big capacity radiator - avoids potential overheating problem.
Shoulder harness seat belts. Some brand names do not have this.
Rear end built very strong because this manufacturer is used to making cars.
Both seats flip forward to allow for access to the battery, electrics and parts of the engine.
Horn- mounted on steering wheel.
Assembly: Usually takes about 3 to 4 hours. Some of the parts that need to be attached to the main unit (consisting of the main chassis and engine) is the trunk, cab frame, cab roof, wheels, mirrors, steering wheel, head rest frame, bumper, trunk, and battery. There is a very detailed step by step assembly instructions consisting of about 70 pictures of both parts and the assembly of those parts.
Maintenance: Look in local yellow pages for car repair, lawn mower repair or small engine repair. These vehicles are similar to other Gasoline engines and can easily be repaired by these people. All they need to do is to call us up and we can furnish the parts needed
