The design arose from a combination of idealism and practical necessity when Ronald Meijs noticed that urban mobility was increasingly becoming more problematic. We love cities for their human energy, creativity, the business vibe, and the squares and streets where people meet. But we loath them for the poor air quality, the constant noise, and the lack of personal space. We drive in big, luxury, complex cars but get annoyed by the heavy traffic and parking problems.

Ronald searched for a solution with the idea at the back of his mind that, more than anything else, mobility should be light and pleasurable. From the very outset, it was immediately clear that the vehicle should not produce any CO2 emissions. He wanted it to be simple, easy to use, and fun to drive. He designed the Motorman and, in doing so, achieved the perfect balance between durability, functionality, and design.

Enjoy it!
