Can It be towed for 2km without any issues ?

Yes, but don't go over 25 mph since the motor will be spinning.

Is there any shop or user manual available online ?

The push/pull pole is how I have moved mine:

 

Many thanks ! Great idea

 

Towing 1.2 miles (2km) can be done with a sturdy tow strap behind any vehicle (as long as the EV brakes are good to take up the strap slack when the lead vehicle slows).

 

Unfortunately tow strap are not allowed here in France we need a tow bar.

 

The front hitch is something that I added. Several companies make them:

 

Txs ! I need to find out but for regular cars it is mandatory to have something directly link to the frame for towing it with a tow bar front and back. I don't know if this applies to light vehicules and probably not in 2013 as regulations for light vehicules changed a lot in 2017.

With regard to French towing bar regulations requiring the front hitch be frame mounted, the aftermarket receiver hitch essentially is frame mounted (see below, mounts to bumper and frame). Towing about 1 mile I'd take the simple approach and use a tow strap. That is, if the brakes work and it is not on a highway, which you cannot do anyway given the 24mph limit. If you get busted by the cops, paying a fine likely is less costly that getting into buying a tow bar/hitch/ball.

 

 

Here is the beast ! Some rust to deal with on the frame.

Unused since 3 years.

I put mine on a utility trailer to haul it from one location to another. Winch it up the ramp and into the trailer, then strap it down.

You may be able to tow it backward with the rear wheels on a dolly, and let the front wheels free-wheel (since they are not engaged when there is no 12V power. 4x4 requires 12V to engage a solenoid). I have not tried that as yet.

 

Hello, I finally was able to tow it with a towbar attached under the front bumper, no dammage as we drove very slowly.
Since, I did some work on the brakes, added a dc dc converter which was missing and after filling the batteries with water and some equalization charges it works ! At least enough for my actual needs of small maintenance in my property.

Still needs to deal with the suspension pivot which have a lot of play.

Next step, will be either the lithium conversion (I have a lot of used car cells in stock and an orion BMS) and adding power steering.

 

I know this answer might be a bit late, but for others who might have the same question, towing a Ranger EV with a towbar attached under the front bumper seems to work, as long as you drive slowly to avoid any damage. Good job on the brake work, adding the missing DC-DC converter, and getting the batteries back in shape! As for the suspension pivot, dealing with the play is the next step. By the way, while browsing online, I came across car lockout services, which might come in handy for future situations. Just thought I'd share the info.
