Not that good I would say.
Only one horsepower but would still manage to do 40kph plus.

No need to worry about the emissions unless you are traveling behind.

no mention of ecu, fuel input or whether the thing has any real balls or not , I guess it is only rated at about 0.75 kW :D

what upgrades can you get? I guess it'd be difficult to lower it, if you were into the lowered look?

what about respray? or are you stuck with one colour option?

Hmm yes all very valid points.
If i was going to purchase one of these "new" brumby's i would want to know these things, as well as is there an option for.
A Lift Kit
Different Fuel types
Bigger tyres
Any competent four wheel driver would certainly be looking into many of these issues.

oo is there an option for a winch as well, I imagine with the high clearance you wont have to worry about a lift kit.

what's the performance like in summer in the sand dunes? do you need an external fan?

Already has a rear mounted one, plus you can put your fanny (as in butt) on top.
