P500 2021 Pioneer 500?

[hondabob]

There should be a Pioneer 500E electric model. Honda had pictures of it a few years ago. I want a Pioneer 520 with all the good stuff that is on the Foreman Rubicon. We have several 50 inch trails here and a couple need a locker on the switch backs plus some really tough rock crawling canyons.

HONDA'S NEW ELECTRIC PIONEER - Dirt Wheels Magazine

— New innovations in battery systems — The folks at Honda have been working on a new swappable battery pack system and they used their Pioneer 500 to showcase how it works. Instead of the normal 500cc gas engine, it’s powered by electric motors. Juice for the electric motors comes from batteries...

I bet the fording depth on that is less than 3 inches.

It won't be long before the gas UTV's will be outlawed in California and New York. I think the Pioneer E will be sold for use in warehouses, nurseries, and on job sites.

I had 30's on my Pioneer 500 with a top speed of 46 mph. It worked great on my 100 mile plus solo rides. I'm really hoping Honda will make my day by having a 520 with all the Quad features.

Maybe Honda will make a 50 inch Talon for 2021 with the 520 motor. Wishful thinking.

So cool love the skinny tires and throwback civic wheels hahahaha. Wonder if extra batteries are on the other side too? Heh heh just strap on the Honda generator and be set to jet....

Yes, it looks like there is a 520 for 2021. Details aren't out yet, but I saw it on a legitimate site.

Care to share that site?

Forgive me for being ignorant, but who is Kevin and why is he a Pro?

It would be nice if they pre-install the winch mount.

I was looking at the 16 pages worth of installation instructions and was thinking, that's a days worth of work.

A pro because he sells Hondas. I’m up to four from him so far.

Did I spot a "21" ? It was about 45 miles from where they build them in S.C. at an off road park.

No. Just a newer auto with a torq locker sticker.

You can do a 520 big bore if you wanna open up your engine

That's my plan for the Donkey this winter, it's starting to use a little oil, not enough to warrant a top end rebuild but that's the excuse I'm using
Going to use the OEM 520 Foreman cyl, piston, rings.

Better do some checking first,Crank Shaft part #'s are not the same.

Not sure what model you were checking but the 21 Foreman 520 FM1 (manual shift) has the same crank, the stroke is the same, only the bore increased in size. The cyl "should" be a bolt on, at worst the cases may require some finesse to accommodate the larger cyl liner.
