Introducing: THE BAD BOY MTV!!!!

[DJFaninTN]

I like most of the stuff from Bad Boy .... BUT ..... (there's always a but) ... we were looking at golf carts a few months ago. I looked at the Bad Boy and liked it. Talked to a few dealers and the problem I heard most was there was zero, none, nada factory support.

So if you have a problem and there is no one there to support you, what do you have? One dealer had a unit sitting there that he'd had for a couple of months. He couldn't get parts directly from Bad Boy and he was a Bad Boy dealer. That wasn't a very good reflection on the company. So we passed on the Bad Boy.

This thread has seemed odd from the start. There was way too much cheerleading. If there is no factory support, or no parts, there is no product, to speak of anyway.

It looks like a shop class project.

I like the idea of the electric version. You mentioned it's a 48 volt system. Do you have any information on the battery set up? Six volt golf cart batteries give excellent service in electric vehicle applications, but it's hard to imagine they would use an eight battery lash up. What are they using?

Tnx.

It's got 8 batteries. 6 under the seat and 2 under the hood (probably for balance).

any sign of a rear PTO? now that would handy...

That would be so cool, but at this point, no sign of any PTO. That would be cool if they took advantage of the hydraulics to power a PTO, but that may take too much HP to run a PTO and drive it.

Folks, this machine is made by the Bad Boy Mowers Company, not the Bad Boy Glorified Golf Car Company. I should have clarified that in the first post. The BBM co. has fantastic factory support and it's never taken parts more than 3 days to get here after ordering.

I can assure you this is something to be excited about. When they come out, check them out at your local Bad Boy Mowers dealer. Believe me, I was skeptical too, but there was alot of thought and engineering that went into these. There is still some more refining they're doing to these, such as choosing camo prints and a few miscellaneous details.

Why? Because it doesn't say "Kubota" on it?

At least it doesn't jerk you to death when you let off of the drive pedal!

Forgot to mention, the MTV stands for "Multi-Terrain Vehicle" for those wondering. More details to come as I get them!

I am glad you clarified that. I had a hard time getting past an image of Madonna in a bustier flying down the road in one of those things.
