Super Powers Mobility Emerges From Stealth, Offering UTV EV Conversion Kits

Super Powers Mobility Inc is positioning itself at the forefront of the powersports electrification movement. The company offers a high-voltage powertrain conversion kit, namely the EVK and EPEX modules, designed for utility terrain vehicles. These kits provide scalable electric power options that are engineered to be compatible with most UTV platforms, enabling riders to convert existing vehicles into electric versions. In July 2025, the company emerged from stealth mode.

Headquartered in Pittsburgh and founded in 2024, Super Powers Mobility aims to serve a growing market as the powersports industry shifts toward electrified solutions. Analysts estimate the total addressable market for powersports electrification could reach $37 billion, reflecting vast potential.

The company’s early business strategy focuses on delivering high-quality, low-volume electric side-by-sides, targeting 500 to 1,000 units per year. This high-margin, specialty approach allows the company to pioneer in electrifying off-road vehicles while building credibility and innovation momentum.

At the heart of Super Powers Mobility is founder Jonathan Powers, a mechanical engineer who brings real-world off-roading knowledge and experience. His passion for powersports combined with engineering expertise positions him as a visionary for the company.

Industry insiders are already expressing confidence. One advisor and early investor praised Jonathan’s domain knowledge and leadership, noting his combination of technical skill, entrepreneurial drive, and understanding of customer needs makes him well-suited to lead SPM’s mission.

Super Powers Mobility is building its foundation in a dynamic and underserved niche by bringing electrification to UTVs through adaptable powertrain kits. With its experienced leadership, clear market strategy, and focus on high-quality, scalable solutions, the company stands out as an electric mobility innovator in powersports. As the industry accelerates toward decarbonization, SPM’s technology could become a key enabler for hybridizing or fully converting off-road and utility vehicles.

What are UTVs?

A utility task vehicle or utility terrain vehicle (UTV) is a larger type of ATV (All-Terrain Vehicle) designed to haul heavier loads and perhaps allow additional passengers. ATVs are primarily used for recreation, whereas UTVs are often used for professional tasks such as farming or landscaping. A side-by-side vehicle is a utility vehicle with a minimum of two seats positioned side by side and enclosed within a roll cage.

Challenges and Opportunities in the Electric Powersports Industry

The electric UTV market is gaining momentum, yet several challenges are slowing widespread adoption. One of the primary concerns for potential electric UTV owners is range anxiety. Most electric UTVs offer a range between 30 to 80 miles on a single charge, which may not be enough for extended off-road adventures. In addition, the availability of charging stations, especially in remote areas, remains limited, making longer trips less feasible.

Performance and durability are also key considerations. While electric UTVs provide instant torque and quiet operation, they may not yet match the ruggedness and power of gasoline counterparts. Off-road enthusiasts often prioritize durability and high performance, areas where traditional UTVs still have an edge.

Cost is another factor affecting adoption. Electric UTVs typically come with a higher upfront price compared to gasoline models. Although lower maintenance costs over time can offset some of the expense, the initial investment may deter some buyers.

Despite these challenges, the electric UTV market continues to evolve. Manufacturers are investing in research and development to improve battery technology, enhance performance, and reduce costs. As consumer demand for sustainable and eco-friendly options grows, the industry is likely to see more innovations that address the current limitations.

Grand View Research reported that the U.S. electric UTV and ATV powertrain market size was estimated at USD 2.46 billion in 2022, and it is anticipated to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.2% from 2023 to 2030. The Utility Task Vehicle (UTV) segment accounted for the largest market share of over 89.0% in 2022, Grand View’s report below shows that UTVs far outnumber ATVs and NEVs (neighborhood electric vehicles.)

While electric UTVs face hurdles related to range, performance, and cost, ongoing advancements and increasing consumer interest indicate a promising future for electric off-road vehicles. With continued innovation, electric UTVs could become a mainstream choice for off-road enthusiasts seeking sustainable alternatives.
