Advanced Electric Powertrain
The MotoEV Transit Buddy is powered by a proven 72-volt AC electric drive system designed to provide dependable performance, exceptional efficiency, and reduced maintenance. At the heart of every shuttle is a durable 15 KW AC (20.1 HP) electric motor paired with an intelligent Curtis controller, delivering smooth acceleration, quiet operation, and reliable power for demanding commercial applications.
Unlike many competitive electric shuttles, MotoEV utilizes an advanced battery architecture engineered to maximize efficiency while reducing charging time. Every Transit Buddy is equipped with an onboard smart charger and an easy-to-use Forward/Reverse drive selector, making operation intuitive for drivers of all experience levels.
Industry-Leading Operating Efficiency
With the optional lithium battery package, the Transit Buddy delivers a driving range of up to 80 miles per charge, making it one of the longest-range electric shuttle platforms available in its class. Operating costs average approximately one cent per mile, dramatically reducing fuel and maintenance expenses while lowering the total cost of ownership.
The onboard microprocessor-controlled smart charger automatically monitors battery condition throughout the charging cycle and safely shuts off once charging is complete. This intelligent charging system helps maximize battery life while preventing overcharging.
Because the charger is permanently mounted onboard, the Transit Buddy can be recharged virtually anywhere a dedicated 110-volt, 20-amp electrical outlet is available. Opportunity charging during breaks, shift changes, or while parked helps keep the shuttle operating throughout the day without requiring specialized charging infrastructure.
Built for Daily Commercial Service
Designed specifically for continuous passenger transportation, the Transit Buddy delivers the durability, reliability, and comfort organizations expect from a commercial shuttle vehicle. Its heavy-duty chassis, automotive-style suspension, hydraulic braking system, and electric power steering provide confident handling while ensuring a comfortable ride for every passenger.
With travel speeds of up to 18 MPH, whisper-quiet operation, zero exhaust emissions, and a spacious 15-passenger cabin, the Transit Buddy enhances the passenger experience while creating a cleaner and more enjoyable environment for both riders and operators.
Whether serving a luxury resort, university campus, municipal fleet, corporate facility, airport, hospital, retirement community, or special event venue, the MotoEV Transit Buddy 15 Passenger Electric Shuttle provides an economical, dependable, and environmentally friendly transportation solution engineered to perform day after day.
Engineered for Long-Term Reliability
Every MotoEV Transit Buddy is built using commercial-grade components selected for durability, ease of maintenance, and long service life. From its corrosion-resistant chassis and heavy-duty suspension to its dependable AC electric drivetrain, every aspect of the vehicle is designed to minimize downtime and maximize fleet productivity.
Backed by MotoEV's commitment to quality and customer support, the Transit Buddy delivers the performance, flexibility, and reliability organizations need to move passengers safely, efficiently, and confidently for years to come.
