Why Electric?
DESIGNED, DEVELOPED AND MANUFACTURED IN THE WEST COUNTRY.
TRUE ALTERNATIVE POWER
Eco Charger ATV is built as a workhorse, rigorous testing, controlled production and quality components make it a machine you can rely on. Amazing torque for towing, regenerative braking to preserve power and quiet when approaching horses and livestock are additional benefits. Start making savings now and into the future – improve your environmental credentials – take a look at the impressive Eco Charger ATV.
TESTED TORQUE
Our Eco Charger models boast an amazing towing capability across the entire range that more than matches the torque of equivalent petrol powered quads.
THE QUIETER QUAD
Eco Charger Quads are a lot quieter than the average quad. With virtually no engine noise and only the usual gear and road noise to contend with.
This means approaching livestock is a lot less worrying for the animals whether it be sheep, horses, deer or game.
This is also appreciated by drivers, after a long day using the bikes. And in areas where you are working near the public you are less likely to cause a disturbance.
UNBELIEVABLE SAVINGS
PETROL QUAD
Most farmers are spending £1,500/yr - at current prices £6.36/gallon, that’s 236 gallons. With a typical 20mpg quad that’s 4720 miles travelled.
ECO CHARGER QUAD
Eco Charger travels 30 miles per charge. 4720 miles needs 157 charges, at 50p per charge, that’s – £79/yr
THAT IS EQUIVALENT TO AN UNBELIEVABLE 380MPG

THE GREEN FACTOR
IMPROVE YOUR ENVIRONMENTAL CREDENTIALS
Research shows that people prefer to deal with businesses that are considerate of the environment.
'Green' is a powerful word. It now directly refers to all that is environmentally friendly, carbon neutral, sustainable living, clean technology and renewable energy. It also indirectly means 'considerate', 'caring', 'thoughtful', 'cooperative' and 'compassionate'.
Research proves that consumers actively seek out and buy products from ‘Green’ businesses. As many as 20% of consumers consider themselves ‘Green’, in the UK and USA, this rises to 50% in Germany. Defra found that investments in clean technology has been growing globally and customers actively seek out environmentally minded companies to buy from.
MORE AND MORE COMPANIES ARE LOOKING INTO:
- New methods to attract consumers with environmental concerns.
- Making themselves distinct from other businesses, hence creating a significant competitive advantage.
- Green trends becoming more mainstream also mean a growing market for participating businesses.
- Responsible practices also mean a business can become more appealing to consumers while at the same time reducing its business costs, thus increasing profits
- The word “Green” creates enthusiasm among customers looking at environmental friendly goods. This creates a strong and loyal customer base.
ECO CHARGER IS A 'GREEN' PRODUCT THAT WILL
ENHANCE YOUR ENVIRONMENTAL CREDENTIALS
DESIGNED DEVELOPED AND PRODUCED IN A TRULY ALTERNATIVE FACTORY
Sustainable way of working – These bikes are assembled using 100% renewable energy with 8kWp on-grid and 8kWp off-grid solar arrays and a 4kWp wind turbine supplying a 24kW battery bank. When the battery bank is full a control light comes on, meaning the Production Team can use the power tools. When the battery bank is depleted the Production Team revert to hand tools. A simple revolutionary process that reduces the carbon footprint of these revolutionary bikes.
OUR WEST COUNTRY ROOTS
Eco Charger’s unique DNA evolved from the rugged farming landscape of the North Devon Atlantic Coast - a challenging environment that helped give birth to these remarkable vehicles and heavily influenced their design and specification.
Keypitts Farm, near Ilfracombe is the long-standing family farm of the Chugg family. It was here that Fred Chugg, our Founder Director first conceived the idea of developing an ‘all electric’ quad and put these ideas into practice.
The farm become the centre for R & D, manufacture and servicing of the early models – all assembled on a fully sustainable basis using 100% farm generated renewable energy – establishing our commitment to carbon reduction and reinforcing our ‘Green Credentials’.
Although ‘Keypitts’ remains as Eco Charger’s ‘spiritual home’ and R & D facility, in 2018 the company moved its manufacturing facilities to Weston Super Mare in Somerset and has recently expanded its presence still further, with an additional 210 m2 facility to form a multi-function stores, distribution, customisation and service centre for its entire UK and export operations.
If you have ever calculated the cost of running a conventional quad, not only the fuel used but also the time spent driving out to collect and store fuel then you will realise the benefits of Eco Charger.
