“We know that it’s unprecedented to allow such an inside look into non-production vehicles, a risk most companies would not dream of taking,” said Volcon CEO Jordan Davis as the 100% electric company hosted dealers, international distributors and select media to test drive prototypes during a VIP Demo Day event held before Memorial Day Weekend. “We have been testing, developing and refining the Stag for months, and we are confident in its ability to change the UTV landscape. It was time to show others what we have been seeing internally for months.”
“The Stag has undergone tremendous development and the power is unmatched,” added Co-Founder and CTO, Christian Okonsky. “We have tested, broken, fixed, broken again and redeveloped many of the Stag’s components throughout this entire process, leading to us upgrading many of the key suspension and drivetrain components to an automotive grade level. Traditional off-road components simply cannot handle the torque that the Stag has,” explained Okonsky in a lQ&A session detailing how the Volcon has been able to move through the development process at an unprecedented pace through strategic collaborations with General Motors, BF Goodrich, Elka Suspension and Hayes Performance Systems.
The following day, guests had the opportunity to test drive a prototype of the Stag at Rally Ready, a premier driving school and off-road track in Bastrop, Texas. “The Stag had me grinning from ear to ear just thinking about running through the woods in the White Mountains, stalking elk,” exclaimed Bill Nash, owner of Nash Powersports, after his opportunity for a test drive. “It was a blast ripping around the rally cross track we got to test it on– smooth acceleration and it turns where you pointed it.”
Stay tuned for full coverage of the Stag launch in the next issue. Dealers can also get a multimedia holeshot on Volcon’s website, as the company plans to share a Stag Ride Day recap video on June 5.
