Getting around your farm on a utility vehicle is nothing new. You will often encounter a ATV, UTV or motorbike on a farm road. But over the past few years, a newcomer to the farm transport market has been making inroads.

Electric farm bikes are becoming increasingly popular, and you might be wondering what all the fuss is about and why you might need an electric bike for your farm.

Read on to learn more about why these incredible machines are becoming a common sight on farm roads around New Zealand.

1) Quiet Operation

Electric farm bikes are battery-powered and have no chain, no exhaust and no engine, so it’s not surprising that they are very quiet to operate.

2) Eco-Friendly And Emission-Free

The thoughtful design of electric farm bikes has dramatically reduced the impact of these products on the environment. Firstly, as they are battery operated and they are emission-free, thus not contributing to air pollution. Batteries have been improved over time to lengthen their lifespan and increase their energy efficiency, meaning that batteries last longer between charges.

The power supply of these bikes can be charged with an inverter and solar panels or even portable solar panels enhancing their eco-friendly status.

3) Electric Farm Bikes Are Practical And Robust

Further design innovations have led to a product that is an asset to any farming operation. They have few moving parts, making them robust and reducing the need for maintenance and repairs. They are robust enough to handle all the different terrains you will find on a farm.

4) Electric Farm Bikes Can Be Road Registered

Most motorbikes, ATVs and UTVs used on farms are unregistered and unlicensed, meaning that you cannot legally use these vehicles on the open road. Electric farm bikes are road ready and can quickly be registered for on-road usage. This makes them the ideal run-around for deliveries and collections to and from the farm.

5) Easy To Ride

The innovative design of these bikes means that they are very easy to ride with a sturdy structure that adds safety and stability.

6) Easy To Monitor Through Mobile App

Many models of electric farm bikes can be monitored through a mobile app downloaded to your phone. This vehicle management tool allows the rider to see the status of the vehicle and battery along with onboard telemetry with cloud connectivity and storage.
