Performance and drive
The Monaco is geared for low-speed road and site use, topping out around 25 mph. Drive comes from a 3-phase AC, 8 kW continuous / 14.2 kW peak. Expect a real-world range of Up to 40 (64 km).
Space and practicality
It seats 2 or 2+2 (4). Overall it measures 2330 x 1210 x 1850 mm (L x W x H); wheelbase 1800 mm, so factor that into storage and turning space.
Running costs, charging and batteries
Power is Lithium electric or Lead-acid electric. Lithium-ion or lead-acid. Approx 7 hrs. As a rule, a lithium pack costs more up front but lasts far longer and needs no maintenance, where lead-acid is cheaper to buy but needs watering and careful charging.
Is it road legal?
UK: Yes (road-registrable, L-category). US: No (US buyers get the Via). In Britain, road use means the buggy must be approved as an L6e or L7e quadricycle and registered with the DVLA; in the US, a street-legal cart is a Low Speed Vehicle (LSV) capped at 25 mph with the required lights, mirrors, belts and a windscreen.
