I rode in a Gator and absoluately hated it. It was rough, noisy and sat too darn low. It's also slow! When i used the bad boy this weekend, i rode it for 1.5 hours and only used 1/3 of the battery and rode up on a lot of game. Plus, my wife and two kids rode comfortably with me, plus room for gear. It seems pretty awesome, but i don't like the price. I already have a atv and a buggy, but no fumes, dead quiet, open air and pure enjoyement nearly justifies the cost. I need to use it more, but i sure liked it. Also, I often like to go to camp during the off season for cookouts and riding around spotting game, so it's nice for that too.
