Eco-Friendly

GEM cars are 100% electric and emit zero tailpipe emissions. Since they’re eco-friendly, GEM cars may also qualify for tax credits as well as other federal and state incentives. Ask us for specific details in your area.

Street-Legal

Classified as low-speed vehicles by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), GEM cars are street-legal in nearly all 50 states on most public roads posted at 35 mph or less. With a top speed of 25 mph and a range of up to 30* miles on a charge, GEM passenger and utility vehicles are ideal for driving on campuses, work sites, or just around the neighborhood.

Performance-Tested

Each of the six GEM models meets the federal safety standards for low-speed vehicles. All GEM cars are equipped with standard automotive safety windshield glass, three-point safety belts, turn signals, halogen headlamps, brake lights, horn, adjustable mirrors, and windshield wipers. GEM cars were also performance-tested on the same facilities and with the same resources as major automobile manufacturers so you can be assured that safety is a top priority.

Multi-Purpose

GEM cars can be used for many applications - both work-related and recreational - including running errands, commuting to work or school, visiting family and friends, hauling equipment, transporting people, grounds maintenance, patrolling parking lots, or for business services. The possibilities are endless!

Economical

Operating costs of a GEM car are only about two cents per mile. In fact, for about $1.00 of electricity you can drive 50 miles in a GEM car! The cost of ownership is just one-third that of a gasoline-powered vehicle because oil changes and other related expenses are eliminated. Just plug your GEM car into a 110-volt outlet to recharge.

Innovative

Since 1998, the GEM vehicle line has been the market leader in the low-speed vehicle industry bringing you new innovations each model year. New for the 2011 model year is the Energy Monitoring System which records the energy the GEM car uses while charging and enables you to see the total amount of energy that has been removed from the grid. In addition, several new options are available to allow you to customize your GEM car to meet your driving needs!

You might think that diesel = slow.  But in this case, that's not true.  The 855D will cruise at a comfortable 32 mph.  You might also think that 25 hp sounds rather modest for a vehicle of this size.  Again you'd be mistaken.  That 25 hp comes with a lot of low-end grunt.  Which is just what we think a utility vehicle like this should have.

Check out this video showcasing the merits of this versatile machine:

Here is a quick rundown on the XUV 855D:

The new kit is designed to hold the grass catchers in place when cutting units are raised to the vertical position for transport. The new spring-loaded system automatically locks the catcher in place when the catcher is installed onto the cutting unit. It allows the grass catcher to be released from either side of the cutting unit by simply pulling one of the release levers, located on each side.

The new front wing latch kit mounts in the same location as the old kit and also provides a guide for the operator when installing the grass catcher. This kit can also be installed on the rear cutting units, if desired. Cost for the kit is $249.

The new kit contains the proper parts to complete the wing cutting units on one fairway mower or two QA5 cutting units. The new front wing latch kit will retro-fit to fairway mowers with QA5 cutting units.
