Summary

  • 19 mph is the quadricycle EV's standard top speed and 46 miles its maximum range; a free conversion kit raises speed to 25 mph for roads posted at 35 mph or less.
  • Limited quantities will be offered this year in a hardtop model with doors and a Dolce Vita soft-top convertible that uses a rope instead of doors.
