Hi guys as usually its me just a voice over and this is review machines!...and the newest
tracked all terrain vehicle Pelec…85 hp!
Its time to begin, lets go!
Guys take seats in our ATV, cause today it is going to be an interesting adventure!
Now we are moving across the huge swamp and we’ll overcome numerous tough obstacles
to get our final destination!
And today the destination is a great lake a real freshwater sea!
We have never seen it before, cause the only way to get there is this swampy road, where
only serious atv cam move.
And today we have such an atv!
You may have noticed that I am driving the newest atv Pelec, that has one of the most
powerful engines in this class of vehicles.
By the way, some time ago we already made a video about Pelec atv, but this time we
have absolutely another model and it is really worth of our attention!
So lets stop and take a little rest and I’ll tell you few words about this newest atv!
Well this atv is called Pelec Rover and it is entirely made of a qualitative steel.
This vehicle has a wide range of use – it is all season atv it is both good on dirt
and snow and it can be used for work and recreation!
The main idea of this machine is to replace both a quad and a snowmobile and sometimes
even a boat!
By the way the engineers knowingly chose steel as a main material for the body and the frame.
As a result the vehicle is a very robust it isn’t afraid of bumps and hummocks.
We’ll speak about it a bit later and now it is time to continue our trip, lets move
on!
Our way is an old forest road to the abandoned peat cut mines.
The road is dry enough, and our atv shows here its power and acceleration.
The vehicle is equipped with the engine one liter capacity and 85 horse power.
Theoretically on a decent road the maximum speed is about 70 km/h, but we didn’t have
conditions to check if it is true.
But the acceleration is really very impressive, the atv weighs 750 kilos but it moves so swiftly
like a much lighter machine.
It is able to get 50 km/h just in 5 seconds!
And of course a significant advantage of any skid steering machine – it’s a great maneuverability!
It is able to turn around literally on the spot – that’s so useful on such narrow
roads.
The further we go the worse the road was.
Sometimes it was completely overgrown with young trees and bushes and we had to cut our
way through the thicket.
Our rider forgot his helmet and it was a mistake taking into account the conditions of this
rout, but thanks to the antiroll cage he wasn’t hurt by any tree.
Besides good steel and armoring paint also do a lot of good in such conditions, so you
may be not afraid of any scratches.
Now let our rider have a little rest and meantime lets look at some specs!
Firstly look what we have under the hood.
Here it is – one liter capacity engine 85 horse power.
It is V- type 2 cylinders engine with water cooling system.
There is Canadian CVT transmission.
Smooth riding is provided by an effective suspension system, each roller has its own
spring and shock.
The tracks are 4,5 meters length and 380 mm width.
The working life of the tracks is about 3500 km.
There is a skid steering - a standard solution for a tracked atv.
The handlebar with a throttle and brakes like on a motorcycle and there is a display on
it – that’s the whole dashboard.
There are for seats with adjustable armchairs, the total carrying capacity is 800 kilos.
I like the body design, quite effective, what do you think?
And it is very practical on offroading, for example these headlights look awesome and
they are perfectly protected by the body elements.
Meantime we are moving on, and suddenly our road in the forest led us to the huge slash
place covered with numerous logs.
Certainly it is a gloomy view, isn’t it?
But on the other hand it is a good test for our atv, lets see how it can handle it?
Its worth saying that it is almost impossible to move here on a wheeled vehicle a quad,
for example.
There are plenty of holes between the logs and it is very easy to get stuck in a hole
with a wheel.
But the tracks have a chance to overcome this place.
Moreover the tracks are strengthened with a steel so they are very robust and it is
very hard task to tear them.
And the steel body is also can resist many bumps against the logs as opposed to a plastic.
Pelec passed the test, lets move on!
The nearer we come to the lake the more swampy the ground becomes – in fact all this area
is the huge ancient swamp.
When atv is passing next to us we can feel the ground trembling and that’s rather scary
thing I should say.
Any small paddle here may become a bog – hole, that is why it is very tough to move here
by a wheeled vehicle.
But our tracked atv is cut out for such conditions - long tracks, decent ground clearance and
powerful engine provide excellent performance on a swampy ground.
But when you are moving on such terrain the fuel consumption is quite serious – it is
about 12 liters per hour.
And 5 liters on a good road.
But there are always certain limits for any machine, no matter how effective it is.
In this episode we managed to get seriously stuck when we dove in this real bog water.
You know its too loose here to move on tracks but too thick to boat.
The only way to get out from this trap was to use the winch, nevertheless we are moving
on!
Meantime we got to the abandoned turf mines, now all of them are full of water as you can
see.
To proceed our way to the great lake we had to cross this water obstacle.
By the way, I may have missed one important feature about this vehicle – it is amphibious.
Its body is like a steel boat so it can easily float.
To move on water with a decent speed it is recommended to install a water screw.
But we didn’t have it, so the only way to move here was by rotating the tracks.
And this way is rather slow I should say.
Moreover you may have some difficulties when you are going from water onto ground.
If the bank is steep, it is not enough speed to climb on it, so again the only way is to
use the winch.
Suddenly the forest and swamp was left behind we felt a fresh wind touch or skin and heard
gull’s cries.
That’s it…we’ve got our destination.
Yes the great lake really impresses it’s a real freshwater sea!
And we are so grateful to our atv, that it helped us to get this awesome place!
Let us have few moments to enjoy the view!
And now its high time to speak about the prices.
This model costs about 12 thousand dollars, I don’t know if it much or not, but take
into account that the money is almost the same as a regular quad’s price.
So guys, please leave comments with your opinions.
What do you think is better a regular quad or this atv, if the price is almost the same.
Thanks for having this little trip with us.
