Meyers Manx Creates An Electric ‘Dune Buggy’ For Urban Living
The Meyers Manx is a legendary dune buggy that hit the sand in the 1960s, epitomizing the spirit of California beach culture. This iconic vehicle, created by Bruce Meyers, was a fusion of style and functionality. Its sleek, open-air design and off-road capabilities quickly made it a symbol of freedom and adventure.
The brand has just unveiled its latest venture into the world of electric vehicles with the Resorter NEV.
Following the introduction of the Manx 2.0 EV, this new addition is tailored for urban escapades while accommodating a family with its four-seat layout.
Embracing pouch cell lithium-ion batteries and a twin-motor electric drivetrain, the Resorter NEV hits 25 mph, adhering to NEV (Neighborhood Electric Vehicle) standards. Its four-wheel independent wishbone suspension and nimble acceleration seamlessly tackle hills.
The Resorter NEV looks closer in terms of aesthetics to a golf cart-cum-buggy that’s made for suburban landscapes rather than cruising through sands and other rougher terrain.
To secure a place in line for the Resorter NEV, enthusiasts can make a US$500 deposit on the Meyers Manx website. While the retail price stands at US$49,000, the official release date is yet to be confirmed.
