bad boy buggies

does any use a bad boy buggie in steep hilly areas? does it have enough power and how do the batteries hold up.

How long does the battery in your truck last

I'd get a Rhino or something like that...

Heres one going duck hunting...
The battery lasts all day! I drove about 15 miles on a round trip expedition around my town, I still had about a 1/4 battery left when I got back home... I sneak up on deer, turkeys, yotes, all sorts of critters.
Power wise, its no slouch, it'll go probably 15-20 mph for a while, and it wont even think twice about going right over a pine log without slowing down, mud as you can see, is no different. Not shown in this pic, but it was in water up to the top or just over the tires and water was in the floor board around our feet!
I love it!!!

Way more torque. 170 ft/lb to be exact. The new John Deere gator is somewhere around 40 or less(cant remember for sure on that one).

The only down side I can see would be the top speed.

I don't own one, but I'm working on it.

Sounds like a poachers dream

Father-in-law has one he bought last year, gets about a day's use out of the battery. We live in very hilly country and I never found a place it wouldn't go. It dosen't go very fast compared to a Rhino. It is quiet except the roof rack squeaks, he's tried everything to quiet it down and it still squeaks and I have witnessed deer 300 yards away spoke when they heard the squeak. The brakes are very poor as well, it has a switch on the dash for extra braking power, but that's something they need to address. Overall he's happy with, but he also has a power source to plug it into every night. After using both the Rhino and The Bad Boy Buggie I see advantages to both, my biggest concern would be taking it on a trip where there is no electric source.
