I've always been a distant fan (non owner) of the Rokon and Christini AWD systems. Now I proudly own the UBCO 2x2. The machine is great, fun, and what I expected. Everything the company claims is delivered in quality and spec. It's not designed to jump off short ledges but capable of 98% offroad activity. HOWEVER! There is room for improvement in the suspension, handlebar height and moat importantly it needs a parking brake. I'm using a velcro strap as a parking brake when I'm siting on it on a hill and need my hands for something else (like binoculars, drinking, handling gps, fussing with clothes, etc.)
