UBCO - Utility Electric Vehicle

UBCO was founded on the idea that a Utility Electric Vehicle (UEV) could transform the way people ride, work and play.

Over the last year UBCO has accelerated growth plans for the US market, brought forward the planned release of a 4x4, and added a new product to their range - the FRX1 Freeride Bike.

To ensure that the company is well funded to execute on these accelerated plans, the UBCO board has decided to raise an additional $2m. Following a pre-emptive rights process to existing shareholders, from early January Snowball Effect investors are likely to have the opportunity to take the final subscriptions available for this round. More details are available on the preview page.
