Test bike: Access Moto 650 4x4 EFI

China doesn’t mean cheap yet, we could see it a few times when we got our hands on a four-wheeled car, and the last of them, the Access moto 650, is real proof that we can pay dearly for prejudice. I have to stay at an interesting price! For six and a half thousand, this ATV is really not made of flies.

It has a sturdy tubular chassis that does not twist even in corners and on tarmac, it is strong enough for me to climb over the rocks as a tester, where I was led by the track of the cart, as well as four-wheel drive with a gearbox and differential lock. seemingly impassable terrain. The list of equipment is long, too long for the price, so I admit I approached this test with a little suspicion. I was expecting some kind of cheap solution that I could stumble upon and point my finger at it. Well, I'm already a little ashamed. To everyone who put in the effort and put together this ATV, I must admit that they made a reliable product at a good price. The engine, which is a 600cc, four-stroke, single-cylinder engine, is capable of 46 "horsepower", enough for a quick climb to the final speed on straight sections, ending at just over 110 km / h. But this is already very fast for such a car. Individual suspension bikes stick well to the ground, and if you overdo it, the rear inner wheel will lift in the air or pose in front of the photographer when you turn on the rubble for a while. He always responds with predictable responses. Power is enough for fun and dynamic driving and tracking, even on tarmac. A little more caution or reserve is only needed when braking. The brakes can be more powerful with a more precise sense of added stopping power and thus go hand in hand with engine power and driving performance.

On a land where the Access 650 4 × 4 is very convenient, it's easy to use. Shifting from two-wheel drive to four-wheel drive or even a gearbox is quick, but always requires a stop. If I had the ability to press a button while driving, such as in modern SUVs, I would be impressed.

However, he is very good at overcoming very difficult obstacles and I feel that for the most part the rider will give up and give up early. For extreme conditions, however, a winch neatly tucked away at the front is still available. Equipped with a comfy seat and large suitcase, it also performs well on day trips on gravel and remote trails as it offers comfortable seating for two and secure luggage storage. I find it a good choice for anyone who is adventurous and would like to simply enter the ATV world with a reasonable financial investment, but diligently use its day-to-day practicality. Last but not least, it can tow a lighter trailer. Therefore, this is not just a fun toy, but a real work machine.
