• Pius, the build-it-yourself electric car by Modi-Corp


  • If the electric cars being produced today by the likes of Nissan and Chevrolet are too far flung to suit your exceptional taste, here’s a perfect way to sculpt out an EV that suits you best. A built-it-yourself electric car kit by Japanese manufacturer Modi-Corp, this one enables you to build a one-seat vehicle, street-registered in Japan as a “motorized bicycle”. Capable of a 15 mile (25 km) range and a 22 mph (35 kph) top speed, this electric car called the Pius uses a 1 HP motor (0.6 KW) and a 36 V battery pack. A great way to get around the neighborhood or introduce your child to the world of electric cars, this one’s available in six colors and sports a vintage-race-car design.
