That's the one!
Yes, only the turf version (are the tyres the only difference?)
is available here (and only the green colour),
but probably the law for on-road 4-wheelers that are no cars,forces these kind of vehicles to perform at 20ps max.

I just checked the site and it is the same case for the uxv 700 too! Max 20ps for each one, not even 22ps (i was wrong before).
So it is the turf version with turn/alarm signals and a speed cutter or
something like of modification for using it by selection on the road, i guess.

But the new information is sparking my dream up for good!
If randyo can get a 40+ mpg (i hope you mean the US gallon=3,785lt, then its approximately 6lt/100km)
that is sure fine for me!
Bring it on!
Probably airshot's right foot is heavier than randyo's. No offence guys!
Thanks for the info.If you have any more numbers I would be glad to read.

p.s. when I did the first mini test-ride i was very impressed by the easiness of getting on and off the vehicle and
the way my body clicked inside the cabin,on the bench.I was thinking "All right, nice...that's the spirit!"
As if i owned the uxv for years and i was already used to it.
That is very important for people with spine problems.
The easy access and the vertical way of seating on a chair, car e.t.c.
As far as the protection from the crazy drivers out there...i could not agree more.

In my area it is shown as an on-road vehicle with turn signals etc
and limited horse power (22hp) and highest speed at 30mph!
Like a tourist buggy for rent-a-bike businesses someone could assume.
So I thought maybe it is kind of cheap to drive too.
Probably it has a switch or something that enables you to choose between two types of driving.
I hope that the on road selection could be more friendly with the fuel and the whole gearing and driving style.
At he end of June/beginning of July I will be able to test one myself on a local dealer.
Then I hope i will be able to share some information too!
Maybe you are right and i have missed the whole philosophy of the uxv
but I really want to check its possibilities of matching my needs.
But I just do not like scooters.
I need something with four wheels, sturdy, light, easy to get on and off, small to drive around a small town,
capable of carrying things, entering farms and fields,plus reliable, backed up from a well known brand and of course sold in my area.
This vehicle seems to offer everything I need, even though it is not manufactured for my kind of use!
Plus it is a beauty to look at!

Thanks for he info!
Even though i am very glad when you say its a smooth ride overall,
i am very dissapointed with the fuel economy. :'(
I expected something much better.
If it gives in deed 22mpg, which means more than 10lt/100km, then its far more demanding than a medium family car of 1600cc!!!
I do not own anything else and i planned to use it as an everyday vehicle for town-work-farm-beach and I hoped for a lot less.
Of course i understand that its a fun-utility vehicle but it will turn out to be very-very expensive to run in my country...
And i must add that i am a quite defensive driver with smooth accelerations and cool way if driving, avoiding high speeds.

Please keep track of the consumption as the miles go by, which hopefully will decrease, but lets be honest, how much less?

I am planning to take one for a test ride,as the first one was just for a few hundred meters,
 and i hope i will be able to check the consumption in detail.

But if anyone else has any numbers to add i would be grateful!

Hello guys, first time writing on this forum and i am full of questions.
I hope that with some answers directly from you,the owners,
I may decide to obtain one for myself too, hopefully.

I have been looking for specifications,reviews and test rides for the uxv 450i for some months now.
But its a new model and i do not seem to find specific information about the fuel consumption (on road mainly, it can be legally driven in my area)
Any information about how dangerous it gets when turning around close turns
(i noticed a big angle and quite a leaning while watching a video) would be helpful too.
Does anyone use it for on road driving or just in farms?
Any figures about fuel consumption?
Everything would be useful (mpg, km/lt, lt/100km).

Thanks for your time.
