Advanced Electric Powertrain
Unlike many competitive electric shuttles, MotoEV utilizes an advanced battery architecture designed for maximum efficiency, dependable performance, and reduced charging time. Transit Buddy models feature a robust 72-volt electric drive system with an onboard smart charger. Every Transit Buddy is equipped with an automatic drive system utilizing a simple Forward/Reverse selector, making operation intuitive, safe, and easy for virtually any driver.
Industry-Leading Efficiency
The MotoEV Transit Buddy delivers exceptional operating efficiency with a driving range of up to 200 miles per charge when equipped with the optional lithium battery package. Charging costs average approximately one cent per mile, making it one of the most economical passenger transportation solutions available.
Each Transit Buddy is equipped with an intelligent onboard smart charger featuring microprocessor-controlled charging technology. Once the batteries reach a full charge, the charger automatically stops charging to help maximize battery life while preventing overcharging.
Because the charger is permanently installed onboard, operators can conveniently opportunity charge the vehicle whenever a standard electrical outlet is available—during employee breaks, lunch periods, between shifts, or while parked—helping maximize vehicle availability throughout the day.
Built for Everyday Shuttle Service
With smooth acceleration, whisper-quiet operation, zero tailpipe emissions, and speeds of up to 18 MPH, the MotoEV Transit Buddy is the ideal transportation solution for environments where comfort, safety, accessibility, and sustainability are top priorities.
Whether transporting guests across a resort, students around a campus, employees through an industrial complex, patients at a medical facility, or residents within a senior living community, the Transit Buddy lineup delivers dependable performance and exceptional passenger comfort.
The MotoEV ETB-11PWCHHD Wheelchair Accessible Shuttle is powered by a durable 7.5 kW AC (10.1 HP) electric motor as standard equipment, delivering reliable, low-maintenance performance for demanding daily transportation applications. Additional motor configurations and factory-installed options are available to meet specialized operational requirements and customer-specific needs.
