Bottom line
The UBCO 2x2 is a lightweight electric motorbike fitted with a hub motor in either wheel. UBCO stands for ‘Utility Bike Company’ so you can expect the 2x2 to be a practical machine. The bike comes in two sub-models: ‘Adventure’ and ‘Work’. The Adventure model is road-registerable and comes fitted with a digital display, horn and turn signals. Its tires are suited to pavement and dirt. The bike comes with an app that offers additional settings and readouts for motor temperatures and regenerative brake usage. It isn’t intended for thrashing, but is more of a steady ride. The 2x2 is generally seen as a well-thought-out and cleverly designed bike that can haul cargo and work a farm or ranch. The estimated cost of charging to full power is less than 73¢. Battery capacities are available in 2.1kWh and 3.1kWh options.Expert Reviews
