Just from reading some of the post, I think if you're looking for staying time you're better off with a gas job. Someone mentioned using his duck hunting and having 1/4 battery left after 15 miles. WEll heck, there's club up the road from me that has over 100 miles of trails. You could get maybe 20 miles out before your battery died. LOL You can always strap on some extra gas tanks and travel tanks. Hard to plug that battery in. No way can they have the power or mobility of something like say a 500 c.c. engine. I'm sure they're fine in the south where most things are flat. Not only are they under powered, they're too high to go where I went riding today. I would have stranded a bad boy buggie about 100 yards into the woods. Farm work, flat ground, open country... I'm sure it would be fine. Don't expect it to be a cross country go anywhere powerful thing. Not only that... most are too darn confined to seat people comfortably like they say if one happens to weigh 200 pounds. 2 of those guys and you have a sardine holder.
