- This is my wife's first drive and then I have another go. She loved it!
Thanks again to everyone at Carver for making us so welcome. We feel privileged to have been the first group of customers to test this new vehicle.
Visit carver.earth and book yourself a test ride/drive!
How funny type Carver into CZcams and my neighbours pop up. Love the new Carver it’s a cool looking machine
Thanks! Are we going to convert you to electric? ;)
It will be a fact in these times of pandemic, the change of modality in regard to individual transport. Having a vehicle like this makes perfect sense today. Very different situation from Carver One, which was launched in the midst of the economic crisis of the early 2000s
Guys this vehicle is made by experienced engineers. The average speed of urban traffic today is less than horse carriages 100 years ago. Come on ! this is a wonderful scooter without rain or cool problens.
I love it, must have it!!
I like the concept, but still would prefer a Twizy (with doors and windows). Just seems a better build quality and more stable than this. Glad you're enjoying it though 😁
Living on the edge!
Smart move. Nothing can happen without getting the wife "on board" :)
Definitely...
Toyota should bring the i-Road to the rest of the world. All these types of leaning vehicles look super fun.
Love the iRoad. Would defo buy one
Nigel Pond I’m also waiting to see more about the Yamaha Tritown leaning scooter thing. Looks great for my commute. Could alternate between it and a bike.

Excellent video. Really informative. Just curious - how will you get it back to England? Will they deliver it?
Thanks 😁 ...I quite fancy hiring a van and going to collect it myself but we'll see.
after tax deductions from the Dutch government, this will cost 1500 Euro with 80 Euro cent to go to work and back versus 24 Euro by public transport.
definitely getting one of these.
@Nigel Pond Thanks a lot for your videos. Did you get your Carver already? And what about your experinece?
Hi Micha, still waiting... looking like October...
Wow I like it
And this is legal on British Roads? Might check this vehicle out to see where I can get my hands on one but then what about servicing as are there any outlets in Scotland?
Yes it's legal. There's a newer version since this video, it's called the S+. Check out Carverelectric.co.uk
Thank you very much
Who insures it?
Its great, but I need something a little faster for german roads... maybe 60-80kmh.
But Im glad that the dutch are so innovative once again!
The new Carver S+ does 80kmh 😁
👍👍
I hope I can drive the S+ on german roads
What happens if you turn the steering wheel back and forth? Does it flip from side to side?
Yes, depending on the speeds your going and how much force you put into the steering determines how much it leans.
Nervous laughs 😅
When's the £3K 60mph Chinese built version out?😋
Do you have a website address or name of the Chinese built version for me, because the 45km/h limit on this Carver restricts me from functionally using it in my country?
Why don’t you make a review video and owners experience video?
Dose it come in any other voltage
Nope, I've heard rumours of a bigger battery but currently, there's only one config.
I was seriously thinking about one of these at the 7.5k price i saw on web sites, then I saw 28mph top speed. That would not keep up with traffic and be a danger or nuisance to yourself or others. 50mph would be good. I also wonder how easy the whole machine would tip over on a tight turn and some weight on board? Maybe thats why only 28 max? Pity.
I believe the limit is for the EU scooter definition. They've actually made it a little wider recently. When I rode it it felt very stable. I intend to modify mine to do higher speeds... Will keep everyone updated on how that goes! 😁
@@NigelPond please do, I am quite interested in these.
@@NigelPond Don't forget to update your Insurance company as well... There is a site on the net on the Lynx carver with 170 km/h top speed. Waiting for that. This 45 km/h carver is to big to mingle with the normal scooters and bycicles, waaaay to slow to drive along with the cars. As far as safety… I'd like to see a crash test...
@@NigelPond Hi Nigel. I am very interested to hear from you on how you intend to modify yours to do higher speeds, because in a query to Carver they informed me that it was not a software issue that can be easily changed, therefore I abandoned the idea of importing one to my country. Please be so kind and enlighten me as to the process that you intend to follow to raise the top speed.
@@pieterweideman3841 hello, it's going to be difficult and expensive. And it's going to take some planning/research... the motors, battery and controllers will all need to be replaced (voiding any warranties). None of this can be done until I've collected enough data to ascertain the impact on the tilting mechanism... it's going to be quite a big project
How is it in windy conditions
Similar to being on a motorcycle. You feel the wind but I never felt unsafe.
Does not look to be tilting 1/2 as much as our Carver Ones
Its good but looks a little funny. Can't they make a high powered meaner looking version?
I agree it's a little quirky looking. And if this one is successful I think they will make a high powered version 😁
@@NigelPond apparently they have its called the lynx e carver - looks similar to their petrol version
@@eddyjawed4871 I remember reading about Lynx but I thought they were a separate company that had licensed the tilting tech. Same as Persu... never really came to anything. Happy to be proved wrong tho 😊
كيف كانت التجربه
The price one car in indonesia
Goodjob, i world like to have
What is its cost in indian currency
According to Google: 800,388.00 Indian Rupee
This doesn't look like a quality product I love the original and I know cost has got to come down somehow however all the shakes rattles and squeaks would not make me buy one also its severely hampered by the top speed
i agree , i really want one but for £10000+ its doesnt seem refined enough.
the chinese will copy this soon and it'll be half that price
45 kms max is way too slow.
A max speed of 80kph would be just fine!

Um motor 600cc e trás pro Brasil eu compro show
Combustion engines are old technology ;) ...I'm about to upgrade from 4 to 10 kilowatts. Might not be as powerful as a 600cc motorcycle but it will be fast enough for me :)
Dread asking what is the price
Just under €8k
@@NigelPond
Looks nice so your trike will be up for sale lol
@@TheWelshman50 haha! The trike has already been sold. I replaced it with a two-wheel recumbent that I'm having trouble getting used to... so that may end up being sold to help pay for the Carver!
Hows you fuego riding going low the low racers
@@TheWelshman50 not well! I've been injured so haven't been on it for about 6 months. Will give another try but I suspect I'll be back on 3 wheels 😊
Great car but your roads are tiny. To narrow for my truck.
I still like the original design better, in my opinion.
Why not make the original design electric?.
I agree although i never liked the frontend. I think they will eventually make a new sports version but they're building a new business and starting small. I believe getting scooter type approval is a simpler and cheaper.
@@NigelPond I understood they´re trying to make a very scooter like version since its their attempt again to bring the carver into the market.
But in the long term hopefully, we´ll see more design´s like the Carver on the market from other car companies if the patents are sold at least.
And we need more minimalist car designs since most people drive their cars alone in a 4 to 5 seated vehicle.
They should allow BMW to make those. Just sell the patent..
I'd like to see BMW build the Clever concept. I'd also like to see Carver succeed with this entry level option and then go on to build a highway speed version. I will be supporting them during the first step at least 😁
Woman brain when driving 🤯
45kmh top speed is not really enough to be part of traffic even in a 30mph limit. Ideally, even as an urban vehicle I'd want 40mph minimum.
Limited by Dutch regulation for "Bromfietsen" (Mopeds) to 45 kph. In the Netherlands, it's ok, people drive pretty slow in town, and out of town, you have to drive on (excellent!) bike paths at 40kph... In other countries it might be able to go 60-70kph.
I think you're right. It's the most common comment 😊
@@fredericborloo1910 I'd expect if they could make them reach higher speeds in other countries then they'd sell a lot at that price.
Interesting thing is, the previous Carver didn’t really fail. The problem was in fact, that they received too many orders. It was never the goal of the company to be a production company. They wanted to develop it, and sell the rights to a mass manufacturer. That never worked out. I think the “big” Carver’s engine was a Daihatsu. Daihatsu was bought by Toyota and they canceled the engine production, leaving Carver in the cold. This time, they are setting up quite a different business model. I hope they take things one step at a time. Seems quite typical for a great idea for a vehicle to not make it because production and growth are not well managed.
@Gerard Brans we're talking from a British perspective, where 40mph urban roads are quite common and on 30mph roads traffic generally moves at 35mph when it can, being 7mph slower than other traffic would be causing road rage from drivers behind.
