Maximizing Polaris’ Stealth Ranger EV

Polaris' Ranger EV is a sturdy workhorse right out of the box and a popular choice among enthusiasts who require a tough, versatile UTV. Its 11.5-kilowatt battery stack and 30-horsepower, electric motor deliver enough performance to overcome most situations; naturally, however, functionality and modification are open to preference. Just ask Rick Sosebee, of Atlanta, Georgia, who has scoured the aftermarket and crafted this EV into a utilitarian go-getter for both work and play.

1. Critical out in the elements, Seizmik's soft top and rear panel for the midsize Ranger offers a couple of great features: On hot days, the rear panel rolls up for additional air flow and the top itself attaches via a hook-and-loop system, allowing it to fit any windshield universally.

2. Like its soft top and back panel, Seizmik's two-piece Versa-Shield is a welcome addition to the midsize Ranger in the outdoors no matter what time of year. Easily removable, the shield comes with a storage case that attaches to the inside of the soft top for storage when not in use.

4. Baja Designs' 20-inch, LED lightbar produces an amazing amount of light output while only using 84 watts of juice, dramatically easing concern over UTV battery usage. In fact, we found that the Stealth XPG LED illuminated almost everything in sight down a 900-foot driveway.
