Utility buyers in West Africa, South America and Eastern Europe are asking the same question in 2026: what is the most cost-effective way to move people, tools and produce across ground that no pickup truck will accept? For a growing number of importers, the answer is a BAMX all terrain vehicle — a simple, air- or oil-cooled ATV that a farm workshop can maintain without a dealer network.
Two Platforms, Two Very Different Jobs
Our ATV range is deliberately narrow: a 250cc 4x2 for light utility and a 400cc 4x4 for heavy farm and snow work. Keeping the line-up tight means simpler parts stocking, faster production and a lower entry price for distributors who are testing the category for the first time.
BX250ATV-5: The 4x2 Workhorse
The BX250ATV-5 pairs a 250cc single-cylinder air-cooled four-stroke engine with a front-and-reverse shift gearbox and hand-controlled throttle — a combination that suits spraying, hauling feed and moving produce between plots. Air cooling removes the radiator and coolant from the maintenance schedule, which is exactly what buyers in dusty, hot climates ask for. A 12V 12Ah battery runs the electric starter, and a recoil starter is fitted as backup.
BX400ATV-3: The 4x4 Heavy Duty
The BX400ATV-3 steps up to a 400cc oil-cooled four-stroke, selects four-wheel drive when the ground turns to mud or snow, and adds a winch for recovery and log handling. Alloy wheels, a 12V 20Ah battery and a digital odometer round out a package that competes directly with established Japanese and Taiwanese brands on specification, and beats them on landed cost.

Where These Machines Earn Their Keep
- Agriculture: spraying, seed and fertiliser transport, produce collection from fields that tractors cannot reach.
- Snow and winter service: the 4x4 platform with winch is used for driveway clearing and light municipal work.
- Construction and mining camps: crew transport and tool hauling on unpaved site roads.
- Rental and tourism: guided trail operations in Eastern Europe and Patagonia favour the 250cc 4x2 for its lower running cost.
Ordering, Packing and Support
Both models ship in SKD form with a minimum order of 10 units — a deliberately low threshold so distributors can validate the category before committing to a full container. Delivery is 40 to 45 working days, payment by T/T or L/C, and colours are customised to your brand. Spare parts are available as a consolidated kit with the first order, which removes the usual six-week wait for a first failure.
