Golf cart…

Well, I bet it is all that many city drivers need (if they need a vehicle at all,) and infinitely preferable to a Chelsea Tractor, even a BEV version of one.

Couldn't watch it the guy is a vapid tool renta-presenter.
Very expensive golf cart though.
Any power steering? I ask this due to older folks muscle wastage, wear & tear to joints etc that can make non pow assist painful (even in a smart car)

Ideal time to not reinvent the wheel & simply bring back a subtly altered Smart 450 / 451 electric drive as a basic, with heaters, micro, high but small city vehicle rather than another golf cart, still got a small footprint, tight turning circle, ev possibilities, suspension, wipers the kit you'd hope to see in a small micro car that could get you to the next city over & charge reasonably quickly (tweaked)

I wonder, with the exception of Jonny Smith how many of the renta-presenters have ever seen let alone driven a smart 450 /451 EV to understand the connection, I get the feeling that they just see it as another rung on the ladder in their presenting career, don't get the impression that many / any of them give a toss about EV's ..that is what seems to come across, zero enthusiasm for the subject, all aiming at "the one show" maybe?

Nice one, £5,500 selfcharging, hot rackable batteries 12MpKwh. I likes it!

Just pre ordered one for Edinburgh. No point messing about.

Ticks a lot of and is shaped like one!

Hope you ticked the box for the optional doors

Certainly did. Although I passed on the aircon option.

There's a lot there to like, worth supporting. It'll be fun too. Immediately thinking of thin film additions to up the speed of charge.

[Mr Gus]

Remember air con is useful for evacuating moisture, ie windows open a crack blast & go, it's how I do it in the smarts.

Before you hit the buy on an unknown, i'd take a gander at the 451 series 4? Smart ED low mileage is definitely available & top speed that means motorway usage is possible.

Same size boot & behind seat storage allowed us to load up pretty well at the wholesalers too Jenga stacking & when shopping enough bootspace for a weeks shop.

Are you able to test drive the golf cart? ...can see a lot of steamy window potential like the AMi suffers (badly from)
