Polaris Ranger XP Kinetic
"With the all-wheel drive, you defy any terrain. But you drive it just as well on perfectly maintained grass carpet without damaging a blade." When Polaris distributors Stijn Bailleul of Agri Technics and Kristof Vanonckelen of Kripajet Racing talk about Polaris Ranger XP Kinetic, Polaris' second electric all-terrain vehicle, the superlatives are never far away.
American Polaris produces snowmobiles, motorboats, personal watercraft, motorcycles, quads and all-terrain vehicles. It is mainly the latter two that you will also find on our European market. The official importer of Polaris in the Benelux JEEGEE Motors works together with nine distributors in Belgium for this purpose.
"With Polaris you have the crème de la crème of off-road vehicles: compact, powerful, comfortable, and equipped with all the gadgets. The Rangers are built to be enjoyed for many years," says Kristof Vanonckelen of Kripajet Racing in Maldegem, East Flanders.
The Polaris Ranger XP Kinetic has a 190 Nm torque electric motor, a payload capacity of 567 kilograms, and a towing capacity of more than 1,000 kilograms. You can charge it at an ordinary outlet and it has a driving range of up to 128 kilometers. Inside the off-road vehicle are a 7-inch infotainment screen, speakers in the dashboard and a rear camera. There is storage space under the seats. And you can adjust the height of both the steering wheel and the seats.
At Agri Technics in Ypres, too, there is more and more demand for them. Stijn Bailleul: "Golf courses, campsites, zoos, nature reserves, vacation parks ... we already have electric Polaris transporters driving around. Because in addition to being powerful, quiet and clean, the UTV is incredibly versatile. In our workshop we can further expand the devices. For example, with loading containers, water tanks
and pumping systems."
Be sure to ask Belgian Polaris distributors about a demonstration or test drive.
