Chris Low: “I live and work in South Sudan, which is a very materially poor area with terrible physical infrastructure. A major challenge for this area is moving materials and people over roads that range from bad to non-existent. Standard vehicles are not up to the task, and Land Cruisers or other specialty 4x4 vehicles are far outside of the normal persons budget. I am attempting to design and build a small electric utility vehicle which can be built locally and survive in these extreme conditions.”
Impressive. Will people buy it?
but I love the simplicity and ruggedness of it. Hopefully a good price. Maybe a more powerful engine would do the trick.
