It’s Called the Desert Beaver, and It’s the Tiny Electric Pickup We Need
We don’t cover the UTV, side-by-side, or Low Speed Vehicle (LSV) market much, but when an interesting one comes along, it can be hard to ignore.
We don’t cover the UTV, side-by-side, or Low Speed Vehicle (LSV) market much, but when an interesting one comes along, it can be hard to ignore. Take this Desert Beaver, for example. It’s an all-electric vehicle from Cenntro built off its TeeMak. If that’s all gibberish to you, well, it was to us, too, when we spotted it at the 2023 CES in Las Vegas. It’s designed not just to drive around your ranch or campus doing menial tasks, but can also be driven on low-speed roads while looking like a golf cart interpretation of an old desert camouflaged HMMWV. While the standard TeeMak doesn’t look quite as tough, it’s far more utilitarian than it lets on.
