FINALLY a Small and Cheap Electric Van!

The 'happy face' that kids wave at and makes people smile has a knock-on effect with the driver; happy faces make lowers aggression levels. It's brilliant.

This is the ideal delivery van body. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

One thing that struck me was that Robbo literally walked into the cabin, no stepping up required. That alone would be huge for delivery guys who are in & out of their vans many times during their rounds. The simplicity & flexibility is pure genius, plus the drivers enjoy people waving & smiling as they go by. That is priceless. 👍

This is basically the modern version of the old milk float that I used to drive back in the 60s We really need a car version of this with 2 seats and LOW PRICED. A £40.000 car is not reasonably priced for most people. Innovative technology is great to look at and hear about, but something that is in the reach of low paid workers so that they do not have to drive older IC vehicles is what we really need now. 104 degree weather in the UK this week is finally proving that we don't have 10 years to sort things out

Take off the box, put on a fifth-wheel plate and you've got an electric Scammell Scarab. Those were used for "last mile" deliveries by British Rail for years - they could swap the trailer for a freshly made up load/different body (box, flatbed, etc) much quicker in the freight depots.

The key to this design is its simplicity and presumably avoiding the usual safety regulations by falling within the European Cycle Car spec. For many people this is just what they are looking for, overstuffing cars with frequently unwanted semi self driving tech etc just drives up the price and adds to the chip shortage. I wish them every success.

I was just thinking the other day "Wouldn't it be cool to have an electric rickshaw?". Seems my prayers were answered.

Three wheels, perfect for going forwards into a “parallel parking” space, without riding the kerb. The once common electric milk float in the UK had three wheels. They knew a thing or two way back then!

These look fantastic. Just like the Piaggio Apecars you still see everywhere here in southern Italy. They still make them, too. I’m completely baffled that they’re still being manufactured with two-strokes and that Piaggio aren’t focusing on something like this instead.

Add a pop up roof to the midi or maxi and that would be a fun project to develop as a mini camper

Brilliant little vehicle, perfect for inner city work and probably a lot of fun to drive. One suggestion I’d make though is that they loose the passenger seat so that the driver could enter and exit the vehicle from the kerb side as well as the road side - less risk to the diver of being hit by traffic in a narrow street when getting in and out of the vehicle. You could also put the driver in the middle of the cab; that way there would be no need to make separate variants for LH and RH drive markets.

This is frankly an ideal EV concept. I wish simple EV options like this were available to consumers. If this thing did 100km/h and had 100km of range (and could be NHTSA approved) the platform would be ideal for commuting, micro-camping, delivery, shopping, everything! I want one.

Reminds me a bit of the Electric Milk Floats that used to be everywhere in the 70s and 80s, only modernised. Bet you could convert one of these to fulfill that role very easily, if such things were to make a comeback.

I love when Mr Llewellyn is grinning from ear to ear. Then he is like a fish in water - or more accurate - like a FullyCharger in something propelled forward by electrons ⚡Keep flying ✌️

It's like a return of the Scammell Mechanical Horse. The more things change, the more they stay the same :)

I never watch. Always listen....while working. I am a handyman and am in tears because someone finally listened.

British rail in the 1960s used a three wheeler last mile two stroke. So this really makes sense

Omg it’s SO cute. Lovely van too!

Watching episodes like this makes me feel positive about the future........ then I look out of the window and see 3 Range Rovers picking kids up from the primary school I live near...... Nice while it lasted!

Great. Love it - tiny van with a happy face. More of these please.
