Back in 2005, after several years of manufacturing and distributing  the rugged OUTBACK line of all-terrain hunting vehicles, the product development team at Rick’s Specialty Vehicles introduced a truly exciting new advance in electric sport vehicles---the all-new CRICKET ESV, the world’s first ultra-portable electric sport vehicle.  According to company founder and president Rick Huff, “We believe that the Cricket ESV is perfectly designed to answer the ever-growing need for what we call ‘destination mobility.’ Basically, it’s great for people who need convenient, dependable, economical transportation when they’re at a temporary destination.”  Mr. Huff adds, “So we’ve made the Cricket ESV super-easy to carry along with them wherever they need to go----on vacations, weekend camping trips, horse shows, trade shows, all special events, et cetera.”

And now, after a long series of technological advances and constant, never-ending improvements, the company is confident that the new generation of CRICKET Electric Sport Vehicles will continue to revolutionize portable personal transportation.

The totally-new CRICKET SW3---with its standard steering wheel and accelerator pedal--- was designed in direct response to consumers who were asking for a more traditional alternative to the original CRICKET ESV’s tiller steering and handlebar throttle.

Rick Huff, who is an avid outdoorsman himself, is still actively involved in designing and developing all-electric, powerful, all-terrain hunting vehicles. “Our all-new Outback VIPER, with the innovative new IntelliLock^® automatic locking differential, may well spell the end of the road for four-wheel-drive electric hunting vehicles,” explains Rick. “We’re excited about the potential of the VIPER in the fast-growing hunting industry.”
