Positioned as an eco-friendly alternative to traditional combustion engine vehicles for specific use cases. Regulatory Classification: Low-Speed Vehicle (LSV) / Neighborhood Electric Vehicle (NEV). Operation is typically restricted to roads with posted speed limits of 35 mph or less, and may require specific registration and licensing depending on jurisdiction. Competitive Analysis Competitive Analysis: Competed with other LSVs/NEVs from manufacturers like Columbia ParCar, Garia, and potentially early offerings from larger automakers in niche electric segments. Differentiated by its accessible price point and urban/campus mobility focus. Key Features Key Features: All-electric powertrain, compact size, maneuverability, quiet operation, lower operating costs compared to gasoline vehicles, suitability for specific environments (gated communities, campuses, golf courses). Utility Aspects: The '2PSBN' (Short Bed) and '2PLBN' (Long Bed) variants indicate utility versions designed for light cargo transport, making them suitable for tasks in commercial or institutional environments. 📋 Manual Details Coverage Coverage Areas: Introduction, Suspension and Steering, Drivetrain, Brakes, Electrical, Wheels and Tires, Body, Word Index, Parts Catalog sections (Front and Rear Suspension, Steering, Wheel and Components, Brakes, Electrical, Body, Miscellaneous, Owners Kits, Decals, Accessories, Options, Service Kits) Page Count Page Count: Undisclosed (Typical for digital manuals, actual content dictates usability) Manual Type Manual Type: Service Repair Workshop Manual & Parts Catalog Content Structure: Combines a Service Repair Manual with a Parts Catalog, offering both diagnostic/repair information and part identification/ordering assistance.
