Back in 2005, after several years of manufacturing and distributing the rugged OUTBACK line of all-terrain hunting vehicles, the product development team at Rick’s Specialty Vehicles introduced a truly exciting new advance in electric sport vehicles—the CRICKET ESV, which was the world’s first ultra-portable electric sport vehicle.  According to company founder and president Rick Huff, “We believe that the Cricket ESV was perfectly designed to answer the ever-growing need for what we call ‘destination mobility.’ Basically, it’s great for people who need convenient, dependable, economical transportation when they’re at a temporary destination.”  Mr. Huff adds, “So we made the Cricket ESV super-easy to carry along with them wherever they need to go—-on vacations, weekend camping trips, horse shows, trade shows, auto racing venues, all special events, et cetera.”

And now, after a long series of technological advances and constant, never-ending improvements, the company is confident that the new generation of CRICKET Electric Sport Vehicles will continue to revolutionize portable personal transportation.

The totally-new CRICKET SW3—with its standard sport steering wheel, convenient accelerator pedal, and rear shocks— was designed in direct response to consumers who were asking for a more traditional alternative to the original CRICKET ESV’s tiller steering and handlebar throttle and brake controls.

Rick Huff, an avid outdoorsman, is still actively involved in designing and developing all of his company’s products. “Many of our Cricket owners like to camp out and attend weekend events, so I came up with a way to add 50 hours of run time to their portable generators,” explains Rick. “That’s how the RSP Fuel Systems product line came to be.”

You can bet your boots that there will be even more innovations, improvements, and enhancements—and more new products—in the pipeline for years to come.
