Exotek introduces upgraded all-terrain exoquad V2
Exotek unveils the upgraded all-terrain Exoquad V2 for people with reduced mobility, which features customizable brake and throttle controls. The design team introduces changes to the frame, cockpit, electrical system, brakes, suspension, lights, battery pack, and tires of the four-wheeled vehicle, as well as adds new functions such as a trailer hitch, snowplow option, and software updates via smartphone app.
The most visible change is in the front section of the frame. The first version used a straight tube across the front, and the all-terrain Exoquad V2 replaces this with a curved design. The frame is now built with fewer welding points, which reduces weak spots and increases overall strength. The sidebars now run directly to the bottom of the frame instead of being joined with multiple smaller tubes, and the rear section also follows this continuous construction.

New designs with Extended cockpit area and colored display
The footrest of the all-terrain Exoquad V2 has been redesigned as one large piece, welded directly onto several points of the frame. A snowplow can be attached to the side bar of the footrest, and at the rear, the frame supports a trailer hitch to allow the vehicle to pull trailers. Both the 2WD and 4WD models come with high motor power that boosts the vehicle for towing the trailer. The cockpit area has been extended by five centimeters to accommodate taller riders (up to 2 meters in height). Despite the longer cockpit, the overall axle width and axle length are unchanged, meaning the all-terrain Exoquad V2 still fits into cars and trailers in the same way as the first model.
The electrical system has been fully replaced with the new version using updated motor controllers, a new wiring harness, and improved waterproofing. The display has been changed to a color screen to vividly show the battery percentage, real-time power usage, distance traveled, speed, and other riding data. Menus on the display let the rider choose what information to track. Exotek has also announced a mobile app for the all-terrain Exoquad V2, which will allow riders to update software and adjust driving modes directly from a phone.

larger tires and reinforced sidewalls for puncture resistance
For the brakes, the all-terrain Exoquad V2 uses Tektro T-split brakes, which the team believes are stronger than the earlier brakes in the V1. The system includes an integrated hand brake to let the rider stop on a slope and keep the vehicle still without holding the brake levers. Both brakes can be locked in place when needed. The V1 model used air shocks. These are still offered as an option, but the V2 is delivered with coil shocks as standard, as they require less maintenance and can last longer without service.
The vehicle has two headlights instead of one to increase visibility for night driving. The new battery pack is supplied by Atlium, a Norwegian partner, and it can handle higher current draw and provides more power than the first version. The casing is thick and protects the cells from impact, and a new connector has been added, which makes it secure and simple to connect or disconnect during charging. The all-terrain Exoquad V2 uses larger-volume tires, and the sidewalls are reinforced, which increases puncture resistance. The tread has larger knobs for extra grip on uneven ground. Exotek’s all-terrain Exoquad V2 comes in four colors, including copper, olive green, and graphite.
