A British start-up has announced plans to produce a range of four quadricycles aimed at developing nations in Asia.
The quartet, produced by Oxford-based Helixx, use a shared platform engineered to L7e regulations - legally limited to 20bhp and a maximum kerb weight of 450kg (rising to 600kg for cargo vehicles).

Two commercial variants are planned: a van with 2100 litres of cargo space and a pick-up with a 1.64-square-meter bed. They will be joined by two passenger models: a minivan and an open-sided tuk-tuk. Top speed across the range is 50mph.
Arriving in May, they can accommodate up to six swappable 2kWh LFP battery modules for a combined 12kWh and a range of 124 miles. Support for additional packs, to further boost range, is currently being tested.
