AUSTIN, Texas, June 1, 2023 — Volcon Inc. (NASDAQ: VLCN) (“Volcon” or the “Company”), the first all-electric, off-road powersports company invited key media, dealers and international distributors to test drive prototype models of the Company’s flagship product, the Stag, during a VIP Demo Day event held before Memorial Day Weekend.
The Company hosted the event at the Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort in Cedar Creek, Texas, where on the first day, Co-Founder and CTO, Christian Okonsky, presented a live Q&A session, detailing how the Company has been able to move quickly to bring the first all-electric, off-road UTV, the Stag, through the development process at an unprecedented pace through strategic collaborations such as those with General Motors, BF Goodrich, Elka Suspension and Hayes Performance Systems. Attendees were also able inspect the Stag and ask the Company’s engineering and product development teams questions about the technology and its specifications.
“The Stag has undergone tremendous development and the power is unmatched. We have tested, broken, fixed, broken again and redeveloped many of the Stag’s components throughout this entire process, leading to us upgrading many of the key suspension and drivetrain components to an automotive grade level. Traditional off-road components simply cannot handle the torque that the Stag has,” said Co-Founder and CTO, Christian Okonsky.
The following day, guests had the opportunity to test drive a prototype of the Stag at Rally Ready, a premier driving school and off-road track in Bastrop, Texas where Volcon had three different routes for drivers to push the Stag through its paces. “The Stag had me grinning from ear to ear just thinking about running through the woods in the White Mountains, stalking elk. It was a blast ripping around the rally cross track we got to test it on– smooth acceleration and it turns where you pointed it,” said Bill Nash, owner of Nash Powersports, after his opportunity for a test drive.
Industry vet, CEO and Creative Director of Mad Media, Matt Martelli, who organizes annual off-road racing events like The Mint 400 and The California 300, said, “The only bummer about the test ride is we didn’t get more time in the Stag! The acceleration off the line was nothing short of remarkable! The Stag is a rocket ship! I was also impressed with the overall balance and set up of the vehicle. It straddles the line between utility and performance leaning more toward performance.”
