The Carver is a fully electric vehicle, featuring aspects of both a scooter and a car. In terms of legislation, the Carver is categorized as a scooter, which means that a scooter driving license is sufficient to drive it. Yet a Carver is operated much like a car i.e. in an enclosed compartment with a steering wheel and foot pedals.

The unique property of the Carver vehicles is its automatic balancing “Dynamic Vehicle Control” system. The DVC technology was invented to allow for full stability when turning at high speeds in an enclosed narrow vehicle. When turning, any object is subject to a certain amount of centrifugal force, directed away from the center around which the object is moving.
As speed increases, the amount of force applied to the object also increases. The experience is thrilling and unforgettable. Its advanced tilt technology offers remarkable stability and balance when cornering. It has a max tilting angle of 40 degrees. The Carver is priced between $10,000 to $14,000, depending on the model.
