Octane, a fintech company offering a digital lending platform serving the RV industry, is continuing its expansion into the electric vehicle (EV) market. The company is partnering with UBCO, an Oregon-based electric adventure motorcycle company.
Octane said dealers and customers of UBCO’s adventure bikes now can use Octane’s digital purchasing platform which enables customers to upload documents and apply for financing online.
“We are thrilled to partner with UBCO to bring our seamless buying experience to even more enthusiasts and to fuel our customers’ lifestyles in an environmentally friendly way,” said Jason Guss, Octane CEO and co-founder. “The EV industry allows us to merge technology, sustainability, and innovation while tapping into a rapidly-expanding market and delivering on our mission to connect people with their passions.”
Octane also provides soft-pull digital tools.
“Up to 92% of Americans currently do not participate in powersports,” UBCO Chief Revenue Officer Phil Harrison said, “and we want to change that by providing approachable, easy-to-ride vehicles that expand powersports to the masses.”
