Electric vehilce for w/c work?
« on: July 11, 2008, 06:57:31 am »
Could something like a milk float be able to take the weight of a wfp tank and kit?

I think they are rated very low for road tax and with a low speed and good for stopping and starting/short distances, could be very economical.

I thoughtabout this as well a while ago.

road tax is free and apparently it doesn't take much electricity to charge them up.

they will carry a good amount of weight and this milkman told me they are cheap to buy second hand if you can find one.

I think it depends on how compact your round is as to if it's worth doing

ok cleaning

They'll do 60+ mph down hill if you put them in neutral :) Watch out for the Humphreys :)
