The range of the Sierra Echo varies significantly based on driving conditions and style. It's important to understand that as an EV performance-first vehicle, the range is highly dependent on the level of performance you demand from the Echo.

The Sierra Echo offers the exhilarating performance of a race-ready vehicle with the potential for street legality, depending on where you plan to drive it. In many states, the Echo can be registered as a UTV (Utility Terrain Vehicle) or as a Kit Car. Please note that our vehicles are not street legal right out of the box.
