The jury's comments
The Jury praised the DUTY Utility Motorbike commenting:
The UBCO DUTY is an electric utility motorbike designed for large-scale fleet applications, emphasising net-zero emissions. The Jury commends the iterative, customer-centric approach that has led to significant improvements over previous models. The DUTY’s design allows for quick take-off, a quiet and heat-free ride, and increased payload capacity. The bike’s practical, robust nature, combined with its capacity to carry equipment and handle demanding tasks, makes it a standout solution for utility needs. Its ability to meet market challenges while delivering enhanced performance and usability is highly commendable.
