Bad Boy Buggy (Junk). Anyone having problems with their buggy? I use mine only during hunting season and every season, I have to pour money into it. This season I take it to get serviced, because of the buggy not running and they tell me I have to spend $1200 to replace all batteries. They replace the batteries and now tell me that a part that cost $1000 needs to be replaced, because the buggy is still dying with new batteries. The part that needs to be replaced, they don't use it anymore,therefore they don't stock them. I'm looking at a possibility of a few months to get this part. Now there trying to sell me a used one that they test with for $800. Every owner that I know has multiple problems for a buggy thats only used during hunting season. I spent $300 last season, because it wouldn't go in reverse. 99% of the authorized dealers don't service them, probably because they know there junk. I could have purchased a reliable 4 wheeler by now, considering how much money I spent on servicing this electric buggy that's plastered all over the hunting channels. And don't forget, I use only during hunting season and not year round. Bad Boy Buggy "They Won't Here You Coming" They won't here you coming because your $10,000 buggy is sitting in the shop!!!!!

me & a freind were just taking about these yesterday. I told him that they get really bad reviews and he said that he has heard that people love them and have no problems. if I were you, I would try to get rid of it asap and by a mule of some sort. who cares if it makes some noise as long as it stays out of your wallet and is dependable.
I've got a Titan UTV. It's an all electric 4x4 buggy. I've had it almost a year and love it. It goes anywhere I need it to.
If I were to be "nitpicky", I would say the front end is a little too light. The front wheels tend to spin going up hills in 4 wheel drive. Also, the battery life was short when brand new. But, they just need to be broke in with 15 or 20 charges. Now the battery life is great. I can about 20 miles before needing to recharge. But again, that's just picking nits.
If you still want an electric buggy, I would definitely recommend them.
thanks for the info. When these first came out I always thought they would be a waste of good money. I'm sure some people really think they are the cats meow but overall I'm really not sure why someone would spend $11,000 on something that is electric but thats just my opinion.
Take your money and buy some brand name that has proven itself. Who cares about a little noise, at least in Nebraska deer are so used to hearing vehicles, machinery, etc. All them electric buggy things are good for is advertisement.
I don't know anything about the electric buggies, or the ATVs for that matter, but guys on my old lease used ATVs and always got good deer. I hunted in the middle of the lease on the mountain and could hear the ATVs coming up the mountain, pass my stand and all the way to the top. Yet they got good deer every year.
Funny part is, I drove my Jeep up and parked next to their ATVs and they never knew I was there. So I don't think deer pay too much attention to them, not enough to spend all the money on an unproven electric buggy.
