PAKTER TUK-TUK

While it might look like it should be ferrying tourists, goats and building supplies around the alleyways of Saigon, the Paxter actually hails from Norway. With its 10kW lithium ion battery and 80-100km range it was developed specifically for the country’s postal and parcel-delivery services. Over the last ten years over 4,000 have been built and a good number now appear in municipal and agricultural roles with things like sprayers and salt spreaders mounted on the rear load deck. Long- and short-wheelbase variants are available – the former having a 400kg payload and a £19,995 price tag, the latter carrying just 240kg and coming in £3,000 cheaper. If that sounds a bit steep the company also offers a factory refurb option – guaranteed to have at least 80% of the original battery capacity and warrantied for two years they’re just shy of £11,000. The best bit? There’s an external electric supply so you could use the Paxter as a mobile power source for jobs like welding.
