The Amble One is an open electric utility vehicle developed for hospitality destinations and private estates. The four-seat vehicle measures 3,200mm long and 1,480mm wide. It has a doorless design and uses aluminum, leather, cotton, and cork throughout its construction. Power comes from a 15kW electric motor paired with an 11kWh lithium-ion battery. The vehicle delivers a range of up to 100km and reaches a top speed of 65kph. It charges in approximately 5.5 hours from a standard 220/230V outlet.
The vehicle rides on 28-inch wheels with independent suspension for estate roads and similar terrain. Production begins with hospitality properties including Amangiri, Mustique Island, Six Senses Les Bordes, and Na Praia. Consumer deliveries are planned for 2028 in Europe and the United States. Pricing starts at €20,000, or approximately $25,000.
