Price Rise January 2025

Due to production cost increases over the past 18 months, UBCO will be raising the price of all 2X2 Adventure bikes (SR & System2) and kits starting from January 1st. 

 

Any bikes & bike kits purchased from January 1st will reflect the updated pricing on the invoice. This price adjustment will also be reflected in the B2B online ordering portal from January 1st.

 

The updated retail pricing is listed below. More details will follow on all price increases, including farm kits. Parts and accessories will remain unchanged, as currently displayed on the UBCO website.

Technical Support Update

Diagnosing times

To help reduce diagnostic time and costs, we request that a technical support request be raised if 45 minutes is spent investigating an issue without identifying a clear solution.

 

Please use the online Technical Support Form, ensuring it includes clear and concise information about the original customer’s complaint, the testing process completed to date, and all associated findings. The Technical Service team will be notified of the submission, review this information and follow up via email with next steps. 

 

Requests for additional diagnostic time above the approved warranty rates will be assessed on a case-by-case basis, based on the technician write-up and Repair Order (RO) clockings. Claims for extensive diagnostic labour time prior to liaising with UBCO technical support, will not be approved. 

Dash Kit for work bikes upgrade

Dealers and Service Agents can now offer a Dash Kit upgrade for customers who own Gen5 Work Bikes. You can find the Dash Kit installation guide for your workshop team here.

 

Part number ACC-DK-0-001 is available for purchase online through the B2B Portal.

 

Pricing shown below is for the Kit only. This pricing does not include the labour to fit of 30 minutes which will need to be charged to the customer.

Warranty Claim Form

Diagnosing labour time now added

We have added a new box for recording diagnostic labour time when submitting warranty claims. Please specify the amount of time taken to diagnose the fault. Our team will then review this on a case-by-case basis to consider adding this time to the credited labour, in addition to the 'allocated times' for repair.

 

The Warranty Claim Form and 'Allocated Repair Times' sheet can be found via the UBCO Dealer Hub here.

Farm Source In-store Trial Update

UBCO continues to work with Farm Source to drive awareness of the 2X2 Sys2 with Farm Kit across New Zealand. The bikes have now shifted from the initial trial locations to new stores. Click here to see the new stores that now have these bikes.

These bikes will remain on show for customers to purchase using their Farm Source accounts.

 

Purchases are made with Farm Source directly to UBCO. From here orders will be sent to the customer's closest UBCO dealer for Click & Collect (which enables commission* for that dealer). This enables the dealer to hand the bike over, show the customer how to use the bikes and establish a relationship with the customer.

 

Farm Source options for purchase:

  • 2X2 Sys2 with Farm Kit
  • 2X2 Sys2 with Farm Kit & Realpro Clamp

*Commission includes assembly, Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI), adding on accessories, and a basic check completed when the vehicle has reached the earlier of 200kms or 10 hours of use. 

 

How are commissions paid?

  • Commissions will appear as credits on your statement
  • Payments as a result of credit balances on the claim account can be made on request
  • Alternatively, credit balances will be consumed through normal business trading.
