Success Stories
BOped
The BOped is a project to maximise the ridership of zero emission electric mopeds on UK roads. The aim of the project was to take know-how and experience in micro-mobility and apply this to larger, more capable vehicle types.
Electric First Responder Motorcycle
The aim of this feasibility study was to demonstrate that the WMC300FR concept can be electrified, whilst meeting the rapid charge time and drive cycle requirements of the Emergency Services, at an acceptable price point.
Pashley JSC Multi-trike
The project developed a multi-functional tricycle platform suitable for rider accessible and cargo products in the ride-sharing and consumer sectors of the bicycle industry.
EV Beach Buggy
Hall Engineering And Design teamed up with Ecoclassics and Pie Valley Buggies to develop an electric beach buggy.
