How many opportunities do you think we miss for reducing our carbon footprint? In the world we live in, so many technologies out there allow us to drive and perform work functions without creating harmful emissions. Polaris offers technology like this in the form of their new GEM® electric cars and UTV. You can get around for all those short trips on your electric car or perform the brunt of your work on a zero-emission UTV, and all of these are available at Richmond Equipment! Reduce emissions and cut your operating costs down with these vehicles. You’ll feel good about your eco-friendly choice, and save a lot of money! If you’re interested in either getting one of these cars for personal use or building an all-electric fleet, come into our dealership in Richmond, Texas. We also serve the areas of Houston, Beaumont, Victoria, and San Antonio, Texas.

Passenger Vehicles (LSV)

Consider how much less of a footprint you’d leave if you always used an electric car for driving around town. The Polaris GEM® passenger vehicles might not be right for the highway, but those short trips to the store, post office, or friends’ houses add up. You could eliminate a huge chunk of fuel consumption by relying on one of these new models for all those short drives! We’ve got three 2017 models available at Richmond Equipment, and they all have something special to offer. The E2, for example, is a two-seater that’s perfect for everyday use. This low-speed electric vehicle still performs with agility in tight turns and through windy roads. It’s also very comfortable, with 43” of legroom and sliding seats. Although compact, you still get plenty of space inside an E2. If you need to move a few more passengers around, the E4 is a great car for you and your family. With operating costs at 3 tenths of a cent per mile, you can move yourself and three passengers around cheaper than ever before. But the E4 isn’t just smart with electricity, it also uses great technology for better convenience. You can use the RiderX app on a single car or fleet of cars to figure out where you’re able to drive it, so you can navigate easily without having to find areas with limits under 35 mph yourself.

UTV

With so much work to be done, why not do it more affordably, and release fewer emissions while you’re at it? With a 1,400 lbs payload capacity on the Polaris GEM® eM™ 1400, you can do just about anything you do with gas-powered UTV, but at a lower operating cost. These things move just fine across the jobsite or in the warehouse, and the ergonomic features make your jobs that much easier for you. Enjoy the independent front and rear suspension, which make your ride smooth and allow you to get virtually anywhere with better ground clearance. There’s also the GEM® M1400™, which is the ultimate UTV, providing best in class 31 HP. You’re virtually unlimited on the jobsite in one of these vehicles, with 1100 lbs of cargo capacity and 1500 lbs towing capacity. You can cover any ground and do any job with one of these amazing rigs, which can also be customized with Look & Ride™ accessories.

UTV (LSV)

If you need a good variety of options for your electric vehicle’s bed, Polaris GEM® LSV models are light-utility workhorses, great for getting the job done cheaply. At $.03 per mile operating cost, the GEM® el XD provide maximum utility at a fraction of the price. They’re spacious, as they allow 43” of legroom, and you’ll stay comfortable on an improved suspension that keeps your ride smooth. You can also customize the bed. There are 20 different bed configurations, so you won’t be limited on the types of material you can haul. Choose from options that allow a lower bed, for easier loading, and a covered storage area if you’re moving sensitive materials through harsh conditions. The eM™ 1400 LSV is a highly efficient flatbed with removable sides. There’s also a manual and electric box lift option, making loading faster and simpler for you, while the easily attachable accessories let you shift job functions in a matter of seconds.It’s also street legal, so if you need a versatile UTV, the eM 1400 is the right choice for you.
