ABOUT

The UBCO 2018 2×2 is a two wheel drive utility electric vehicle (UEV). It is dual use and comfortable
both on- and o-road. It has been designed and engineered for work and play with a large wheel
diameter, full suspension, and allows you to adapt the 2×2’s settings to dierent applications.
When you see this symbol, the
information following is important for
safety and proper function of the 2×2.
This section gives you a detailed overview of the
2×2 and its functions and features.
Please read this owner manual carefully; it outlines
everything you will need to know when owning a
2018 UBCO 2×2. Pay special attention to the safety
messages that appear throughout the manual.
This manual should be considered a permanent
part of the 2×2 and should remain with the 2×2 if it
is resold.
All information in this publication is based on the
latest production information available at the time
of approval for printing. UBCO Ltd reserves the
right to make changes at any time without notice.

2×2 Dual Electric Drive
The UBCO 2×2 is dual electric drive. Two-wheel
drive delivers improved handling and tracking in
a wide range of ground conditions, both on- and
o-road.
Cerebro Control System
All new for the 2018 2×2 is the Cerebro Electronic
Control Unit (ECU) which talks to all areas of the
2×2. It controls the lighting, talks to the display and
motor controllers, provides an audible sound for
the indicators, and enables Bluetooth connectivity
to the 2×2 to customise the riding experience. It
will ultimately oer a range of upgrades to the 2×2
that will be rolled out.
Portage Power System
The Portage Power System is a 48Ah rated, 50V
lithium-ion portable power pack (battery) which
not only powers the 2×2, but also allows the user
to charge their devices and tools. This specially
designed power pack provides an eective riding
range per charge and has a charge time of 6-8
hours.
The 2×2’s portable power pack has a secure
locking plug which secures it to the 2×2 ,
preventing it from being removed by opportunists.
The power pack comes with a wall charger that
is designed to be plugged into a 100-240V
AC 50/60 Hz outlet only. The power pack is
interchangeable and can be removed from the
2×2 simply by unscrewing the lock and unplugging
it. To find out how to charge the 2×2, see Section
03: Your Power Pack.
Flux Drive
The 2018 2×2 delivers the innovative new Flux
Drive. The drive internals have been beefed up
to allow more power to be pushed into them
and the enclosure has a new sealing system to
deliver a drive capable of surviving in tough, hard
working environments, where exposure to mud
and water are constant. The drives are engineered
to use regenerative braking which will assist
brake performance. We have also developed a
novel heat sink that improves eciency and heat
shedding from the drive core.

Quadratic Brake System
We have developed the brake system with large
diameter DOT approved brake lines and fittings,
as well as sensor switches that are connected to
the ECU and electrical system. The brakes work
in conjunction with the ECU, controllers, and Flux
Drives to provide assisted braking that uses the
motors in addition to the
brake system to provide ultimate stopping power.
There are several brake pad options depending on
your environment with sintered pads recommended
for heavy mud, sand, and volcanic pumice.
Super X Frame
The unique frame is designed for strength and
stiness while remaining light weight. Constructed
from 7000 series aluminium, the frame has excellent
corrosion resistance. It has a fixed rear carrier,
removable front carrier, and lugs for carrying cargo.
For full loading limits and guidelines see Section
05: Accessories. The 2×2 is equipped with a large
head tube, allowing for the UBCO front suspension
fork, which uses a tapered steering tube design for
improved stiness.
UBCO Wheelset
The Flux Drives are laced into the all new
UBCO wheelset. Two 17 x 1.85” DOT aluminium
rims are wrapped in 17 x 2.75” multi-terrain
tyres, providing an excellent balance between
street comfort and o-road grip. A wide range
of tyre options are available for your dierent
applications with full o-road knobblies available.
All Terrain (AT) Suspension System
With the 2018 2×2 comes the innovative
UBCO ATFZ Front Fork, with beefy die cast
aluminium lowers and 37.5mm chrome plated
steel stanchions, designed to provide a smooth
ride. Complete with torque arms and 130mm
travel, this fork was built with front wheel drive
in mind. The rubber fork boots fit perfectly to the
stanchions to keep out all unwanted gunk. The
rear suspension is 32mm UBCO ATR shocks with
adjustable spring preload and rebound damping
with 120mm of travel.

Steering Lock
The 2×2 includes a custom steering lock
configuration so that the wheel of the 2×2 can be
locked at a +20 degree angle when parked. This
provides added security, as the 2×2 cannot be
simply wheeled away.
Motor Cut-o Switch
The 2×2 is home to a motor cut-o switch, located
on the right-hand side of the handlebars, beside
the brake lever mount.
Seat
The 2×2 has a large cushioned seat to provide
a comfortable platform for the rider to sit on. It
fastens to the frame via two plastic spring clips and
lifts to allow you to remove the power pack from
the frame. Ensure the clips are securely engaged
on the frame before operating the vehicle.
2×2 Accessory System
There are 17 accessory lugs built into the frame
to provide solid mounting points for accessories.
Three of these lugs are available on the front carrier.
These lugs fit standard M8 bolts and contain a
cavity in the back to house an M8 nut, preventing it
from spinning as the bolt is tightened or loosened.
The lugs are strategically placed on the frame
to provide maximum flexibility, facilitating the
attachment of large and small items. Ensure all nuts
are securely tightened and loads are strapped
down before riding the 2×2.
Console
The front console of the 2×2 houses the ignition,
as well as a 12V power output and two USB ports,
allowing you to charge your devices directly from
the 2×2.
User Controls
The 2×2 has an all-in-one handlebar control on the
left side that controls the horn, high and low beam
light, and direction indicator lights, keeping the
right hand focussed on the throttle.
Wiring
The 2×2 has a wiring design which minimises the
additional wiring required for road going lighting.
With IP66 rated connections and a modular design,
the 2×2’s wiring design keeps visual disruption to a
minimum while maximising serviceability.

Lighting
The 2×2 makes use of low energy LED lighting for
all lighting sources. The 2×2’s headlight has both
high and low beam modes for maximum visibility,
both on the road and the track. On high beam, the
headlight is a 36W light, providing 2,230 lumens.
On low beam, it’s 27.6W, providing 1,220 lumens.
The rear light incorporates the tail light, brake light,
and number plate illuminating light into one unit.
Display
The 2×2’s display houses an FSTN transmissive
panel with a warm white backlight for optimal day
and night viewing. The display makes keeping
track of your riding easy and shows all the
important information, including speed, power pack
level, odometer, trip meter, motor temperature,
real-time power output, and the time. The display
can switch between metric and imperial units to
suit your requirements. Tell-tale lights indicate
warnings, a low power pack, directional indicators,
the headlight, and an illuminated “N” light when the
2×2 is in a neutral and non-ridable mode.
Connectivity and User Input
Not only can the 2×2 charge your USB and 12V
socket devices, but you can now talk to the 2×2
with your smart phone or other Bluetooth-enabled
devices.
Kickstand
The UBCO 2×2 is equipped with a retractable,
spring loaded kickstand on the left side of the 2×2.
For more information on the kickstand, see Section
02: Getting Started
Warning: Modifications
We strongly advise that you do not remove
any original equipment or modify the 2×2
in any way that would change its design
or operation. The 2×2 has been designed
in a way that makes it safe for all users;
changing this intention could result in injury
both to riders and those around you. If you
are to adapt the 2×2 for your needs, use
only the lugs and carriers provided and
follow safety instructions.
