Polaris introduces all new GEM

GEM offers a spacious interior with a compact footprint and quiet electric power for low-cost, low maintenance, sustainable operation. GEM has sold more than 50,000 vehicles worldwide. GEM vehicles have been driven more than 450 million miles, saving almost 20 million gallons of gasoline. Now, with more built-in comfort and street-legal safety features than a golf cart, GEM is more maneuverable, cost-efficient and sustainable than a truck or van.

 

Whether you're moving people, cargo or equipment, the new GEM vehicles get the job done easily and efficiently. GEM features an aluminum chassis that passes SAE roof-crush-test standards, front-wheel disc brakes, an automotive-style suspension and a variety of maintenance-free battery options. Drive it outdoors or indoors, the result is a flexible, reliable, zero-emissions vehicle with a smoother ride. 

 

“Facilities managers, operations directors and electric-vehicle consumers have come to count on Polaris GEM vehicles to improve productivity and efficiency,” said Dan Chumbler, director of sales, work and transportation. “The all-new GEM takes what our customers already love about these vehicles and improves the ergonomics, ride and range. We've also added more comfort and safety features to provide an even better experience for both rider and driver, with the added benefit of just $.03 per mile cost of ownership.”

 

GEM vehicles provide the versatility to go anywhere – indoors, outdoors, streets or sidewalks. GEM's safety features including high-back forward-facing seats, 3-pt. seat belts, an automotive glass windshield and LED signal lights provide drivers and riders increased confidence. With a maximum speed of 25 mph, GEM vehicles are legal to drive on streets in most states and provinces, typically on roads marked up to 35 mph. The optional RiderX app provides free access to maps of nearby residential roads, helping you plan your trip as well as track your vehicle's performance. 

 

The new GEM includes Smart Power, which matches the power to the task, combining an efficient electrical system and a right-sized motor, with the ability to choose the best combination of battery and charge options. In addition to more traditional battery options, GEM offers a warranty-backed Li-Ion battery. Not only does Li-Ion improve the distances you can cover – up to three times the range – you can also expect two-to-three-times the battery cycles. This means in the entire life of your GEM, you may never need another battery. 

 

In addition to battery options, all GEM vehicles are fully customizable to enhance comfort, convenience and productivity. In-windshield defrost, electronic power steering, integrated doors and a full range of rear carrier options are just a few of the factory-installed and warranty backed options available with a GEM. The GEM eL XD offers a recessed bed option to lower loading height and maximize hauling capability.
