 The new TORQ VLE off-road electric vehicle is not only gaining attention for its combination of silence, safety and performance, but for its accessible design, which makes it ideal for outdoorsmen and women with limited mobility. The TORQ VLE provides a silent, driver-only
experience that’s quicker, quieter, lighter and tighter than any other electric vehicle on the market. This off-road electric vehicle satisfies the need for speed with a swift, silent and stable design that is ideal for people with disabilities who want more freedom and mobility in the great outdoors. |
The TORQ VLE’s standard automotive-style brake and throttle controls can be easily converted to utilize the well-designed and easy-to-use Sure Grip Push/Rock Hand-Control System for drivers with limited lower mobility.
Unlike other hand control styles, the Push/Rock system puts the operating handle in a vertical position; the driver eases the handle back to accelerate and pushes forward to brake. This unique rocking motion allows full-range braking and acceleration with minimal hand travel while keeping the hand in a natural position. The AutoLock accelerator lockout device comes standard on all of Sure Grip’s hand controls, and is an added safety feature for the driver or those that share the vehicle. With the push of a button or knob, the accelerator function of the hand control can be disabled and help prevent accidents through misuse of the control by mechanics, valets or any other unqualified user. |
The TORQ VLE’s light weight is a key design feature, which makes it easier to transport and maneuver than other electric vehicles of similar size. In fact, the TORQ actually boasts the industry’s lightest overall weight, meaning that it can out-handle, out-accelerate and out-brake all other off-road electric vehicles. In this case, less definitely means more.
With a 35+ mph top speed, high-amp output, loads of torque and super-low center of gravity, the TORQ VLE is the fastest and most responsive electric off-road vehicle to ever kick up dust. And even though it can top out at 35 mph, larger tires and all-wheel disc brakes and independent suspension smooths out the bumps, making it comfortable and easy to drive on even the most uneven terrain Although the TORQ is quiet and fast, its safety features are the most impressive. A full-coverage roll cage with fixed side bars and a race-worthy 4-point safety harness provide both youth and adult riders with peace of mind even when driving on the most challenging terrain.
Almost half (420 lbs) of the vehicle’s curb weight is located under the floor board, between the axles and hubs, offering the lowest center of gravity and most stable and predictable performance of any off-road EV on the market. And, since the TORQ is a single-seat ride, the driver will not be distracted by other passengers, so he or she can remain focused on the trail ahead. No gas engine means no messy oil changes or fuel to haul or handle. And, you don’t have to visit the shop for periodic maintenance. Just plug in the onboard charger, and when the light turns green, you’re ready to go. It’s that easy. The TORQ VLE’s design is ideal for a quick drive around the neighborhood or that long, slow, stealthy creep through the woods to scout rubs and scrapes or to check game cams. Use it to get to your favorite hunting location quickly and safely or to that field where you spotted those longbeards the day before.
