Pickman Classic recently introduced a mini pickup without airbags and is certified as legal for speeds of 35 mph. or less.
  The Chinese-manufactured vehicles come fully electric in 2 or 4-door models, with rear-wheel drive as well as a 4-WD option. A choice of single or dual rear-mounted high torque motors is available.
  Cabs are fully enclosed for weatherproofing and feature air conditioning, backup cameras, and seat belts. Power steering and disc/drum brakes are also included.
  “The easiest way to think of them is as an upgraded golf cart, similar to an ATV or a little truck,” says Joseph Chu, COO at Pickman Inc. “We’re a mix between them all.”
  The Classic can carry close to a ton in payload and tow up to 2 tons. A receiver for the front or back is optional although most come equipped with a towing package. A ball mount and 4-pin trailer lighting are also included.
  Buyers choose between customized beds, boxes, racks or bench seating.
  Pickman offers a choice of three battery packages including a lead acid Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) for the single motor models or Lithium 105 Ah or 206 Ah upgrades for the larger units.
  A range of 50 to 90 miles is possible before charging is necessary. This is accomplished from either 240-volt or 110-volt power sources depending on outlets and adapters.
  “The lead acid batteries take about 8 to 10 hours to charge with a 110-volt outlet,” Chu says. “The 240-volt source will quick charge the batteries in about 2 hours.”
  He explains the Classic is popular with universities, farms, construction sites, or any 35-mph. neighborhood commutes. They’ve been available in North America since 2019 from dealers across the nation.
  The cost for the standard Classic model is between $16,000 and $28,000 depending on battery size, single or dual motor choice, box selection and other options.
