Two farm boys, one idea that got away from them, and twelve years spent getting back to it.
Back in 2014, farm boys Anthony Clyde and Daryl Neal unveiled a bold concept at Mystery Creek Fieldays: a two-wheel-drive electric farm bike. It won awards, turned heads, and caught the attention of investors. That spark of an idea eventually grew into the UBCO 2X2 utility bike, a capable, easy-to-ride machine that found its place on-road as a delivery vehicle.
But for Anthony and Daryl, something never sat right. Despite humbling country-wide support, their original dream - a reliable, practical, electric farm bike - was still missing.
Anthony and Daryl decided to give it another crack. Teaming up with engineer Hayden Reeves, the trio returned to where it all began: Mystery Creek Fieldays. This time, they brought a new heavy-duty, galvanised-framed, step-through electric farm bike, forged from 12 years of hard-learned lessons and today's improved technology.
We didn't just upgrade the old idea. We rebuilt it from the ground up for working farmers and their teams. Step-through, tougher build, no nonsense, just function, reliability and performance.
The Galvbike team are proud to carry forward the vision presented in 2014, this time with a dedicated focus on reliability and practical on-farm use. We look forward to working with our supportive New Zealand farm community to finally make this vision a reality.
