Stealth 4×4 Introduces Long Range Hybrid
OutdoorHub 09.07.12
Stealth Manufacturing announced today the release of its highly anticipated long-range gas/electric side-by-side vehicle – THE EDGE. These 4×4 vehicles have been specifically engineered for extended travel through tough off-road terrain that eliminates the range anxiety of the adventurous. The EDGE hybrid vehicle is due to tread on dealer floors beginning the first week of September, 2012.
Stealth has been making electric vehicles serving the outdoor industry for the past 4 years. Now the Stealth engineers, R&D teams and sourcing specialist have all joined forces to create the ultimate outdoors lover’s 2 in 1 multi-use vehicle. Stealth brings the most advanced gas and electric hybrid in the industry to compliment their popular Night Hawk 4×4 line of UTV’s.
The Stealth EDGE features a dual power source with parallel drive that allows for 100 miles in range and 25mph under gas power. One very unique feature of the EDGE is its ability to charge its batteries on the fly during gas operation. If that’s not impressive enough, the All Electric on Demand feature can immediately switch from gas to a 48v Electric Stealth Mode and quietly maneuver through tough terrain.
Performance features include better turning radius, 2000 lbs of draw bar force, 130 lbs of foot torque, and all wheel hydraulic brakes. The Stealth EDGE has a truly unique cockpit with luminous gauges and lights, reminding one of a high end boat or airplane rather than what one usually experiences in a typical UTV. The Edge is also incredibly comfortable, with hand stitched fiber seats and 4 extra inches of leg room that betters any of the competition’s models. Popular optional equipment includes Stealth’s patented 3-in-1 convertible dump bed that transforms into a two passenger rear seat.
Stealth Manufacturing’s CEO, Greg Block, says “We are extremely excited about this launch and think it’s truly a game changer in the outdoor industry and for Stealth. It’s really a whole new category in the power sports business and we’re the first to bring it to market”. Stealth believes today’s adventurous and enlightened consumers identify with premium products with ground-breaking options. You see that in the sports equipment they use and the tools of their trade. These exceptional UTV’s are a strong indicator that the adventurist still appreciates quality.
