Yes they do make electric side by sides. They term them UTV's. This is just a few of the many manufacturers. Here are some links. If you do the math I am sure the overhead costs are much cheaper than that of owning a horse. You have to have a trailer to haul horses anyway so trailer expense is pretty much null and void. The thing is I would really like to go to some trials just to spectate but have been told by competitors who have invited me that I would need a horse just to spectate in the gallery, either my own or a rented horse, much less to actually compete. It isn't like I haven't checked into it or just read something on the internet. I have spoken with credible competitors who are friends of mine and this is the information I have been given. Just saying if you didn't expect everyone to ride you might be able to get more people interested in the sport but I am sure this is not what "the good ole boy club" really wants. Have a nice day.topher40 wrote:Tommyboy-
Again spoken like someone that has never trialed and still has an opinion. You have right to post, although with limited knowledge only coming from what you read on the INTERNET or heard someone else say your right is an exercise in futility. Easy to armchair quarterback when you haven't ever been in the game and that doesn't add any credibility to your arguments.
Electric side by sides also have TONS of expense, insurance, taxes, cost of charging, trailer to haul it, not to mention the initial cost! Do they even make an electric side by side? Even if they do, they couldn't get around most trial grounds. Educate yourself, go to some trials, do some winning, then people will listen. Until then your opinion is about as valid as the BHO's on economics! :roll:
