Learn more about the B1 capabilities

First, the stability. A 6×6 is very stable on the frontal hill, but if while climbing, the tires slide and the 6×6 becomes sideways just a little bit, it will flip, especially with a big load. The B1’s weight is very low (Lower CG), so despite being 38″ wide compared to a 6X6 at 50″, the B1 is much more stable frontal and sideways. B1’s Also, when you loaded the B1, the sandbox was 14″ from the ground compared to a 6×6 at 48″ height. It’s easy to understand why the B1 can go where the other cannot. The B1 has a perfectly balanced combination of ultra-stability, narrow frame, and massive tractions with its 8-wheel drive.

What we see on average for a trail building crew is about 6 to 10 KWH required. With the B1, you can install 1 to 10 batteries (easily swappable in 2 minutes), so from 3.2 to 32 KWH, there is no need to be afraid of lacking autonomy. Another option for clients that use the machine 8 to 10 hours a day without stopping is the hybrid version. The traction is made electrically, but the Honda ultra quiet generator recharges the batteries with a tiny gas tank all day.

Yes, we have an ATV standard track that can be installed on our vehicle over the tires, similar to an ARGO vehicle.

An Argo is a great vehicle to cross a river, but the ARGO is very uncomfortable and limited when it comes to uneven terrain. The main issue is with the eight tires that are held fixed, with no suspension; most of the time, only 2 or 3 tires touch the ground, so one can ask what is the purpose of having eight tires if they do not touch the ground. With the B1, the patented motorized rocker system enables all eight wheels to be in contact with the ground 100% of the time; this adds stability and mostly crazy traction. Another key differentiating element is the steering; an ARGO steers by braking the wheels on one side; while this technique is good for doing zero turns, it’s the worst technique for off-road mobility. The B1 uses articulated steering to steer; this allows all eight wheels always to have full power, and another motor is responsible for steering the machine. This helps tremendously for extreme mobility (Steep hills, high load, soft Ground, snow, etc..) and improves battery autonomy because you do not always have to apply the brake to turn, which is especially important for a battery vehicle.

People transport. Ten people can fit onto one B1 vehicle. The B1 can also transport an array of materials using its sandbox.  Such as sand, rock, ammunition, or life supplies.

The B1 is an industrial/military vehicle, so it’s made to be extremely robust and can endure 24/7 heavy use. For the first 5000 hours, maintenance is limited to checking tire pressure, changing it if necessary, and adding grease to three parts with a grease gun. The traction system is built for 20,000 hours before a major overhaul is required.

Lateral: 35 degrees

Frontal: 60 degrees

1500 Lb is very difficult terrain, 2500 in light terrain.

First, the B1 has extreme stability. Second, contrary to every ATV on the market, you don’t have to apply the brake or the parking brake. Instantly, when you release the throttle, the brake and parking brake apply. This is extremely convenient when you are on a dangerous hill, and the driver is not very experienced. Basically, the machine will control itself to a certain degree.

The maximum speed of the B1 is 19 KM/Hr. Gearing is adjusted for low-speed, high-torque applications.
No, the rear unit is part of the machine, and it’s not a trailer. The B1 is composed of a front and a rear unit that articulates in the middle, so both units are essential.

Because the rear unit is not a trailer but part of the machine, the articulated system allows the B1 to reverse as fast and precisely as you move forward. Compared to an ATV with a trailer, this is an extreme advantage, especially in the middle of the forest when you cannot turn around. With the B1, you can drive in reverse as easily as you can drive forward.

They are fixed in the vertical direction (each of the four independent rocker wheel systems will pivot up and down) for better comfort for the operator and passengers. The articulated system can crate and angle laterally between the front and the rear units to turn. The rear unit is allowed to roll compared to the front unit; this allows the eight wheels to always be in contact with the ground.
