From a no-licence cargo bike to a 7.5-tonne truck. Tell us what you carry, how far and who drives. We’ll match the smallest vehicle that does the job, bring it to you to try, then look after it from our base in East Sussex.

Right-sized: Derry Neomor D01
Micro electric van (L7e)
The smallest vehicle in our range that carries 290 kg for 40 miles a day on a car licence. The same van Royal Mail chose for its delivery rounds.
In August 2026 Royal Mail added twenty Neomor D01 micro electric vans to its fleet for urban delivery rounds across the UK. Each carries up to 290 kg and charges from a standard three-pin plug, so delivery offices with tight yards or limited grid capacity need no new chargepoints.
We’re the D01’s exclusive UK distributor. We supplied Royal Mail’s vans, and we support them from Sussex with servicing, parts and fleet advice.
“These micro electric vehicles are perfectly suited to busy urban routes, helping our posties navigate towns and cities more efficiently while reducing emissions.”
Our micro range charges from an ordinary 13-amp socket: the HAULeR cargo bike, the Duo mopeds, the i-Cargo and the Neomor D01 van. No chargepoint, no groundworks, no grid upgrade.
| Workplace AC chargepoint | about £1,500 to £10,000 a point |
|---|---|
| DC rapid charger | £15,000 to £30,000 each, before any grid upgrade |
| Our micro range | the socket you already have |
Plug in at the end of the shift and it’s full by morning. The bikes, mopeds and i-Cargo also take removable batteries: swap a flat pack for a charged one in under two minutes and keep going.
Need more payload? The Foton Cavan C1 van charges from 20 to 80% in 35 minutes on a DC charger, the eMiler and eAumark trucks from 20 to 100% in about an hour, and we’ll help you plan the chargers.
Charger prices are UK industry guide prices for 2026, from our June 2026 article.
From a 44 kg cargo bike to a 7.5-tonne truck, so the vehicle fits the work instead of the work fitting a van. Every figure is the published one for that vehicle; ask us for numbers on your own routes.
“If it’s too big a job for a cargo bike and too small for a Transit, the i-Cargo sits right in that space.”

For twenty years South Coast Bikes has collected customers’ bikes from their doors, serviced them and brought them back. Two ageing petrol vans did the rounds. Now a micro electric van covers Saltdean to Shoreham, up to 50 miles on a busy day, and charges in the workshop.
“It costs virtually nothing to run, it’s great fun to drive, and the impression it makes on customers is a big plus point.”
A diesel van doing short runs around Sherwood Forest kept blocking its injectors and filters. The RSPB replaced it with a two-seat micro electric van we fitted with a tipper bed and cage, and runs a Neomor D01 for the site gardener at its headquarters in Sandy.
“For these two sites, micro electric vehicles are perfect.”
The Argus’s editor, Arron Hendy, rode our HAULeR cargo bike along the A259 and up the climbs out of Rottingdean and Saltdean.
“It feels like cheating.”
Four steps from the first call to a vehicle doing your job.
What you carry, how far and who drives. A quick call, or the sizer above.
At our base in Lower Dicker, near Hailsham, or at your own site.
An extended demo on your own routes, or a multi-vehicle trial before a fleet roll-out.
Servicing, repairs, parts and MOTs, on site if you need it, plus livery and driver training.
We’re the sister company of JLC Group, the family-run engineers in Lower Dicker who keep aircraft stands powered and terminal doors secure, for clients including Heathrow and Gatwick airports. JLC EV was set up in 2022, when airport customers began asking for electric vehicles. Now we match vehicles to jobs for businesses across the UK.
“This deal with Royal Mail is exactly what JLC EV was built for.”
None for the HAULeR cargo bike: it is an electrically assisted pedal cycle, open to riders aged 14 and over. A CBT certificate for the Duo moped, and a full A1 licence for the faster Duo+. A full car licence for the Neomor D01, the Nipper, the Solar Car, the Cavan C1, the OHM 35 and the 4.25-tonne eMiler, and for the i-Cargo if the driver is 21 or over. A C1 licence for the 7.5-tonne eAumark.
Not for the micro range. The HAULeR, the Duo mopeds, the i-Cargo and the Neomor D01 charge from an ordinary 13-amp socket, and the bikes, mopeds and i-Cargo take removable batteries you can swap. The Foton vans and trucks charge on AC or DC chargers; we will help you plan what your site needs.
