How do you lower and lift the plow?

Hello, Are you interested in testing our products? We would like to invite you to test the Drive Belt for your HiSUN Sector E1

I bought a sector e1 past Sept, about 9 months ago. dealer said doesn't come with a manual, was curious if yours included a manual?

! have already done that over and over again... I guess it worked Seems like the problems have finally been fixed... only took 4 months

I can cross that one off my list.

I'm curious to know if you still have it and could give an idea as to how it has held up over the last few years if you still have it? I'm looking to purchase a 2022 model that has not been used much at all. Your thoughts would be appreciated.

unnecessary Cup holder?!?

Thanks for your review Unfortunately I also have been experiencing the same warranty issues that you have... I purchased this unit. In October 23 Was in the shop for about 6 weeks waiting on parts... Hisun Corporate is NO HELP! I would not recommend a Hisun to anyone!

Definitely should swap those for lithium. Even if you don't increase the rated capacity you'll see no drop off as they get low percentage and you'll probably double your range.

How steep would you say that hill you went up was in degrees? Have you gone up anything steeper?

Awesome!. Thank you

Hi Mike - thanks for your review. I currently own a Polaris Ranger EV but have been curious about the Hisun Sector E1. Have you considered replacing the batteries with a lithium battery option? It seems like most of the problems I have read online have to do with the bad batteries (same as the Polaris). Do you think replacing with high quality lithium batteries would alleviate any of the issues you've encountered so far? Also - hows the machine running in year 4? How many km/hours? Thanks

I bought my Sector E1 for use on my 15 acre property. It's Chinese junk, but it serves the purpose of light utility use on a small ranch. 1. the suspension is horrible, adjusted it, still horrible. 2. the aforementioned suspension adjustment allows the front left tire to break the parking brake cable when turning hard left and hitting a bump. 2 new parking brake cables. 3. the plastic panels break on anything bigger than brush. had a small log come through the floorboard, side panel broke when something hit the plastic fender. just took the 2 rear fenders off so they won't catch anything. 4. dump bed does not tilt enough to drop everything out, have to use your hands. 5. the seat covering is hard and uncomfortable, also leaves you sitting crooked, had the seat redone. 6. disconnected that stupid reverse beeper. 7. If I don't charge it every evening the cord gets so hot it almost melts the insulation and sometimes trips the 20amp breaker. other than that, it's electric, and has good torque, almost a 3rd the cost of a Ranger. get what you pay for.

I watched the whole video listening for whether the batteries are lead-acid, LiIon or LFP. Did i miss it, or did you not mention it at all? IMHO lead-acid is terrible for this application.

Extend battery life. Plug in after each use.

Nice review! It will be interesting to see which EV UTV companies survive. I remember when there were dozens of companies making snowmobiles.

perfekt

ok there are supply issues on everything everywhere , so it might not of been customer service ,

I heard somebody saying the M on the LHM switch stands for maximum range. So: L for Low = maximum torque for pulling, H for highest speed and M for highest range. Again, only heard it on the Internet, don't know if this is true. Thank you very much for the nice videos.

Thanks for taking this one off my list! Very helpful

Do you still like it?

Thank you so much for posting this information. You have saved us what looks like a lot of headache!

Why in the world would you buy an EV UTV?

was thinking of getting a EV but will pass, my fossil fuel Hisun is still going strong, too many teething problems with these new EV's I have seen some vids where lithium batteries can explode. I'll wait a few more years, thanks for the review

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. Since it has been almost 2 years since your review I was wondering what is the current status of the UTV. We have a 500 acre ranch and generally keep vehicles for 15-20 years. We are looking at replacing our 20 year old Jeep which has been a constant service headache for the last 10 years.

hey i just got 10 hours on my 500. i am going to put a fuel filter on it. which brand would be the best?

its chinese junk. China does not give a damn about service or parts. You are on your own!

Thank you!!!

Great review. I was actually in that dealership today dropping off my ATV for service and Q&A’d them on this model (2022). I have 120 acres, just for fun, not a working farm and am seriously leaning towards one.

Here I am one year later.. The HiSun E1 has a few things going for it, like lower cost, especially for what it comes standard with. I could have easily spent another $5k+ for a tricked-out Polaris or other brand. The problem is reliability. I looked at many reviews, and saw many negative comments, but I decided to get one, since the US HDQ is based so close (75 miles) to me, plus I was assured from the dealer (who just started carrying HiSun) that service (if needed) would be no issue. Well, there were issues. The first time it quit running, and the problem was electrical in nature, the cables going to the fuse block had apparently become loose, arced, and then melted. The second time was also electrical, but it’s still back at the dealer. I’ve only had the E1 for about 3-4 months, and between the two issues, it’s spent a total of 5 weeks (so far) back at the dealer. The dealer has had other E1s with the same problem. Like many things these days, the HiSun E1 is made in Asia (Vietnam), and I’m fine with that, as long as the dealer support network is in place. One would think that’d be an easy case for mine, but 75 miles might as well be 750. I haven’t decided whether to keep mine yet, but I’m considering having the dealer take it back under my state’s Lemon Law. I don’t want my E1 to strand me somewhere. UPDATE 8.9/2022 Today marks it being 4 weeks my E1 has been back at the dealer with electrical problems. Do not appear to be getting communication and coordination between local dealer and HiSun HQ office in McKinney, a mere 75 miles away. Ugh..

Hi Mike, great review. Sounds to me like HiSun has discovered that a lot of dealers will submit phantom, bogus warranty claims so they have decided to clamp down.

Thanks for the review! What were symptoms when your batteries failed? I'm having an issue right now where It goes about 15 - 25 feet, then I lose power. The screen still is lit up, but it won't engage the motor. If I turn it off and back on, it lets me drive another 20 ft before it dies again. Wondering if this is what happens when the batteries start to go bad

How far have you jumped it?? Looks like it could probably jump pretty dang good!! Make some videos of you jumping and just ripping it hard! Thanks 😊

Has corporate customer service improved since? Are you aware of fixes or upgrades for the 2022 model? Many thanks!

Thanks for the review. The warranty issues are enough to talk me out of a purchase

How’s this thing holding up? I’m in Nj also and thinking about getting to run around some small trails near me

14k? oh hell nawww

As for your batteries, they are actually pretty good. The problem is the chargers. Lithium has a LIMITED life span but is better. Lithium Iron phosphate would be better still but really cold temperatures also hinder it. Lithium Titanate would be the best but you would have to build them and they would cost…but not as much as one would think. In the end they ALL suffer from something. Lead acid is weight and intentional built crap chargers. This along with some cheaply built batteries out there hurts them. All have limited INTENTIONALLY built in life cycles and are insured by the chargers and or battery management systems. There ARE ways around that if you want to go that route. Polaris is a lot easier to access BUT most of the “technicians “ are no more knowledgeable than ALOT of the idiot sales people I have seen. New or used I do ALL my work myself and with it saved money. DRY CELL…🙄 amazing calling it that since it requires WATER..🤔

I have 2 hand it 2 u...U have a hell of a lot more patience with these corporate aholes than I ever will. I'd b tearing some new holes with that kinda BS!

Excellent & honest review. Thanks Mike.

Hi Mike, I have an E1 too and I am buying the KFI Ploy Plow but they have very different mounts. Obviously nothing for E1, just the sectors or HS models. Do you remember which mount did you bought? Thanks

Nice review, but I would suggest you try to learn a little low voltage electrical work. It will serve you well having an electric vehicle. Nice job.

Good info video

Where did you get your front light bar? Is it mounted to the roof?

With that kind of maintenance and service not buying that brand. Thank you

Top speed 25 mph?!?! LOL Well, I won't be getting this.

Hello Mike can you please get a massimo utv?

Are you paying income-tax on the KZbin income

Just another quick question are you paying income taxes on your KZbin incomes

Hi how much is the whole combo
