See the Campus E1 put to work on the trail and on the job by creators who tested it firsthand.
While Brad of Piney Grove Homestead was mowing close to the pond, his Yakta YXR710 zero-turn mower lost traction on a wet clay bank of about 20 degrees and slid toward the water. The mower deck caught on the bank, which left the heavy machine hanging at the pond’s edge. They had expected to need their tractor or a winch, but they tried the Campus E1 electric UTV first.
They hooked a Weigh Safe nylon recovery rope from the mower’s front receiver to the E1. Deb drove the E1 in 4WD with the rear differential locked, while Brad stayed on the mower to lift the deck and steer. The E1 pulled the mower back up the slope with very little help from the mower’s own drive. As Brad put it afterward, the E1 “didn’t even really struggle.” Because the E1 is electric, they could also hear each other without shouting during the recovery.
What this test shows:
Key moments: 1:19 the mower stuck at the pond · 2:42 how it slid down the bank · 5:47 setting up the hitch and recovery rope · 8:00 E1 in 4WD with the differential locked · 9:20 the pull · 12:37 the tracks show the E1 did most of the work
Brock of Rockhill Farm, an equipment and rural-living channel focused on tractors and outdoor work, puts the Campus E1 through a full review. His video asks: if an electric UTV is powerful, quiet and affordable, what’s the catch?
He covers the E1’s key features and equipment and gives his first impressions. He then looks at the automatic parking brake and the tech and drive settings, including the touchscreen display and on-demand 2WD/4WD. Next he takes the E1 on a trail tour of his property to see how it handles rough terrain, and he talks about power and reliability. He finishes with price and overall value.
Key moments: 0:00 introduction · 1:10 key features and equipment · 2:55 first impressions and pros · 4:40 automatic parking brake · 6:13 tech and drive settings · 9:43 off-road trail performance · 11:34 reliability and power · 13:40 price, value and conclusion
Brad of Piney Grove Homestead uses electric side-by-sides every day for cattle chores and for hauling hay, feed, dirt and trash. The family has sold all of their gas ATVs and UTVs. In this first-look review, he walks around the Campus E1, goes through the features, and tests it on the steep hill where other electric UTVs on his property have run out of power.
What stood out:
The E1 is capable of more than 40 mph, but its top speed is limited to 35 mph for safety.
