Alkè electric vehicle demonstrating its off-road capability
Look where this Alkè ATX electric utv can go, tested in off-road hills in Tuscany! Alkè electric utility vehicles are extremely versatile because they can be used both in town and in the most challenging off road. Alkè utv can be used on up-hill, dirt roads, sand, grassy carpets and any other off road terrain, where other utility vehicles have difficulty, or can't operate. This electric utv has performances comparable to combustion off-road vehicles! Jun 2014

Times Change And So Do Electric Vehicles!
Many people grew up seeing the electric milk float trundling around dropping off its cargo and getting slower and slower as the batteries ran down until it crawled back into the depot at less than walking speed.
Times change and technology moves with the times; even the lead-acid battery has moved on from its 1940s and 50s forebear. Any battery runs down eventually whatever technology it uses; but put modern batteries together with sound engineering, regenerative braking and you have efficient and reliable utility vehicle that can fill a multitude of roles. In Italy, Alkè make high performance utility vehicle that make the old milk float look positively neolithic while still using lead-acid batteries. They manufacture a range of vehicles both 2 and 4 wheel drive for both on and off road use. |
