Innovative and sustainable means of transportation
Erik Vegt and Dave Goudeket from EV Mobility have developed an innovative and sustainable means of transportation. Their passion for innovation and technology, combined with the desire to create a sustainable vehicle, has resulted in the LEF®.
“It was really a gap in the market for us,” says Dave. The goal was to create a covered vehicle for one person that allows for affordable transportation while minimizing environmental impact.
The Max Verstappen feeling
The result is impressive: the LEF® is a striking vehicle with meticulous attention to detail in its design. “People often tell us they get a ‘Max Verstappen feeling’ when they step into the LEF®,” says Erik Vegt. This is partly due to its design and seating position, further enhanced by the bold, custom-designed racing steering wheel used to control the LEF®.
Recyclable polyethylene
A notable feature of the LEF® is its body, made from recyclable polyethylene available in various colors. It’s worth mentioning that no paint is used, as this would unnecessarily burden the environment. Additionally, the LEF® has no steel frame, which would make it heavier and increase energy consumption. Charging is simple and can be done using a standard 220 V outlet, eliminating the need for charging stations or other specialized equipment.
Accessories
The LEF® comes standard with cruise control, a USB charger, and a phone holder. Initially offered as optional accessories, the USB charger and phone holder have become standard features since everyone opts for them. Additionally, the LEF® can be equipped with a handle on the front fork, making it easier to maneuver when parking.
Legal regulations
The LEF® has been approved by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management in the Netherlands and can be operated from the age of 16. However, it is subject to mandatory insurance. You can choose between third-party liability (WA) insurance for a small annual fee or an all-risk insurance plan, which costs just over 200 euros per year.
