Lightship PowerSledThe Lightship Powersled trailer is one that not only will charge up your EV dirt bikes, ATVs, or UTVs after depleting their batteries, but it could save you some gas money, too.Towing an electric dirt bike, ATV, or UTV still very much has its limitations, as where the hell do you power the dang thing? You can bring along a generator, but that sort of defeats the purpose of an electric vehicle. And while you could probably find an outlet or charging station in and around town, you still have to leave the woods to go fill up your electrons. And if you're towing with an EV, i.e., a Rivian (don't), Ford, or Chevy, you're just eating away at your already reduced range. This is one of the many issues still to be resolved for EV powersports in the real world, an issue that no one is really cognizant of. Well, at least they weren't, as Lightship believes it's already answered the question with its new "self-propelled trailer."Oh yeah, it's a trailer with a built-in battery, and it can even send power to its twin axles, saving you EV range, too. I bet you could save some money on gas if you haven't fully switched to an electric truck, too. Lightship PowerSledEngage!The Brand Behind America’s Most Roasted EV Car Just Dropped 3 New ScootersThis EV Dirt Bike Could Change the Game Forever. Why? It Has Easy-Swapped BatteriesAdvertisementAdvertisementCalled the PowerSled, the electrified trailer is just that, a trailer with an EV battery built into the chassis. It comes in three distinct flavors, including an 80-kWh battery, a mid 160-kWh battery, and a 240-kWh battery, all of which use traditional lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cells. No matter the battery pack size, however, the PowerSled comes with a single electric motor pushing 94 horsepower and 121.7 pound-feet of torque.That said, according to our sister publication InsideEVs, "The continuous power output of the TrekDrive motor is rated at 30 kW (40 hp)," so you aren't getting the full 94 ponies all the time.The PowerSled, however, uses a Tesla NACS charger to refill the batteries, so you're good to go wherever there's a NACS charger available. As for charging speeds, using the NACS input, you can get up to 80% in just 40 minutes, though the biggest battery will take 120 minutes. If you're using a regular 110V outlet, you're looking at between 5-15 hours to get back up to fully charged. What you're getting out of that are batteries that can deliver up to 19.2 kWs, either at 120 or 240 volts with the single charger. That means things like your Stark Varg, Can-Am Outlander, Polaris Ranger EV, or even Taiga models could theoretically get a fast recharge and keep you out and playing for longer than you would on a single charge. Honestly, you'd likely have enough charge to keep you in the woods or by the water for days using the PowerSled.

Think of the fuel savings!We do need to talk about weight, as the trailer by itself is a hefty thing. Depending on the model, the PowerSled weighs between 3,300 and 5,800 pounds. That by itself teeters on being almost too heavy for most full-size quarter-ton trucks. Yet, the payload itself is between another 6,200 and 8,700 pounds, depending on which you choose. All in, you could be looking at over 10,000 pounds being hauled behind you, and most folks aren't really up to that task. Still, the concept of the PowerSled is sound. And if you're someone who has an HD truck, you're probably fine. Will we see these around town to tow folks' EV powersports machines? Maybe, so long as your truck is rated for it.
