Point the hose wherever it needs to go
Sealed against dust and protected against immersion. In plain terms: you can put the pressure washer where it needs to go and stop worrying about it.
What these numbers mean on a farm
A spec sheet is only useful if you know what it changes about your day.
Everything you need, in one trip
On a 95 kg farmer that leaves roughly 105 kg for everything else. Fencing gear, a reel and standards, drenches, a chainsaw, a couple of sacks, or the heading dog that has decided it is done walking. It is a third more than the other electric farm bike sold here.
Nothing to adjust, replace or break
There is no chain to adjust or replace, no sprockets, no clutch plates and no gearbox. Those are the recurring jobs on a petrol farm bike, and they simply do not exist here. Full torque arrives from a standstill, so on a steep wet face there is nothing to slip and nothing to stall.
Galvanised
It will not rot out from under you
Galvanised right through - inside the tube as well as out. Paint chips, and once it does, a dairy environment gets underneath it and the rot starts. Galvanising does not work that way. This is the single biggest reason the bike is built the way it is: what finishes farm bikes in this country is not hours on the clock, it is water and effluent and the hose.
3 kWh
Run it flat every day and it keeps going
Lithium iron phosphate, chosen deliberately over lighter chemistries. LFP cells last thousands of charge cycles rather than hundreds, tolerate being run flat every day, and are markedly harder to push into thermal runaway - which matters when the bike lives in a hay shed.
3-4 hrs
Charges off any socket in the shed
No three-phase, no electrician, no dedicated circuit. The charger draws less than a jug. Plug it in after the afternoon milking and it is full before the morning one, for about a dollar.

Stop picking a line through ruts
Enough to clear ruts, races and the lip of a culvert without picking a line. The suspension is conventional - forks and twin shocks - so a rural mechanic can service it without special training.
Regen
Brake pads that last a great deal longer
The motor does much of the slowing, particularly on long descents. Your brake pads last considerably longer as a result, and you get engine-braking-like control going downhill without touching a lever.
Step-through
On and off it forty times a shift
No leg swing over a loaded rack forty times a shift. No clutch and no gears - twist and go. And a reverse button for the gateway you nosed into and cannot turn around in.
