Ownership and Maintenance Tips

Utilise the 160kg payload efficiently by storing heavier items over the axle.
Regularly clean the panoramic sunroof to maintain natural light levels.
Monitor the solar panel to ensure it continues to assist the off-grid power supply.
Check the 2.23 metre width against narrow access points or storage sites.
