Electro Motion (United States) - AllCarIndex

Electro Motion Transportation Systems was an American automotive manufacturer based in Bedford, Massachusetts, operational for a brief period from 1975 to 1976. The company specialized in the production of electric vehicles, primarily focusing on a model that functioned as a commercial vehicle while also being marketed as a four-passenger vehicle.

The vehicle produced by Electro Motion featured a tubular steel chassis that provided structural integrity and independent suspension for improved ride quality. Its design included boxy aluminum bodywork complemented by fiberglass opening panels, which contributed to its lightweight construction. The electric motor offered a power output ranging from 20 to 35 brake horsepower, supported by a central battery pack consisting of 146-volt batteries. This configuration allowed the vehicle to achieve a top speed of 40 miles per hour (64 km/h) and a driving range of approximately 30 miles (50 km) on a single charge.

Despite its innovative approach to electric vehicle design during the mid-1970s, Electro Motion Transportation Systems had a short-lived presence in the automotive market, ceasing operations shortly after its inception.
