Patent number: 8302724Abstract: An electric vehicle is disclosed having a frame, a plurality of ground engaging members, an electric motor, a front drive system, and a rear drive system. The electric motor is configured to provide power to at least a portion of the ground engaging members. The vehicle also comprises a plurality of batteries, an electronic controller, and a drive mode input. The drive mode input is operatively coupled to the electronic controller. The electronic controller operates the electric vehicle in one of a plurality of drive modes based on the drive mode input. In a first drive mode, the electronic controller specifies a first amount of motor braking to be applied by the electric motor, and in a second drive mode, the electronic controller specifies a second amount of motor braking to be applied by the electric motor. The second amount differs from the first amount.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2010Date of Patent: November 6, 2012Assignee: Polaris Industries Inc.Inventors: Brian R Gillingham, Joel M Notaro, Josh J Leonard, Stephen G Crain, Bradley R Morisch
