Electric UTV - Polaris EV?

Any opinions here on the best electric UTV/side-by-side? Hard to find any recent reviews. This Polaris EV lsounds good, but who knows. I’d love to be able to ride trails without engine noise. Not opposed to a good hunting golf cart either, but my property does have a few steep creek crossings.

You will have to make your life’s mission to defeat and prevent corrosion on the batteries and cables. Cost around a grand to replace all the batteries if they are not properly maintained

I don't understand why nobody has made an electric 4 wheeler yet.
Seems like it would be easy.

I would not recommend any of the electric utv's on the market. I know of a couple Polaris units that Polaris can't fix and bad boy buggy's are even worse.

Ok. So electric UTVs apparently suck. Any of the gas powered models known to be quieter?

I owned a Stealth Predator electric cart for a few years. Not sure if they still make them. It handled the hills/creek bottoms in MS and I brought it to my brothers camp in AR and I was surprised how well it did in the mud. Never got it stuck and it was only 2 wheel drive. That being said the mud and hills will drain the batteries a lot faster. I sold it due to getting out of that lease. However, if you have a camp that has electricity, they are nice to have cause you can slip around without a sound. That was my only issue, we didn’t have electricity so I had no way to charge it. They said don’t charge it with a generator because it will mess up the batteries.

You can get a muffler silencer for your side x side.
They work really well.

My brother has a Polaris EV -- only had it for 6 months, but so far it's been OK. Too early to really know. Uses it on his place outside of (west of) Woodville. HAndles hills fine.
I have a 48 volt 2WD Beast. Bought it 7 years ago. Zero problems. Still using original batteries (but they are AGM's). Probably wouldn't get this life span from regular lead acid batteries. Haven't yet found any hills it couldn't climb.
Had a BBB before getting the Beast. Serious problems with the BBB. In fairness, mine was the original BBB (before E-Z-Go bought them). But I'll never own another one.

Have a HuntVe. Equal to a stealth in quality.
72 volt 4-wheel drive. Had it since 2015.
No problems. Great for hunting. I like it because I can slip through the woods quitely
Got to Huntve.com an check them out.

Don't do this
Just get a shitty Honda side by side and let a muffler shop build you an exhaust off of the factor exhaust.
Two mufflers and 1.5in piping off of factor and it'll be nice and quiet without killing your power.
