e-Den The Citroen Mehari of the Future | The 2CV Shop

The e-Den made by Mehari Club Cassis and brought to the UK by The 2CV Shop. Is this a car for the UK or the underpinnings of something more exciting?
I meet Darren and his team and discover how this fun little buggy could help him achieve his lifelong goal.
The Mehari was available between 1968 and 1988 and found it's way all over the world for various uses but it has always remained a common sight on the roads of Southern France, where you will see them driving to the beach and around resorts. They have remained a enthusiasts vehicle since they stopped production. That is until now. A battery and a motor from Zero Motorcycles has reinvigorated this vehicle. Although this one is a prototype the production models are available to buy.

Thanks, Ryan, for taking us along! Hopefully this guy gets to fulfill his dream! Seeing EV 2CVs running about would be very nostalgic.

[@neileroberts]

That looks like so much fun.

Thanks Ryan. It knocks the socks off the Renault Twizy! The quoted range has to be a pipe dream, with only a 10 kWh battery, but give it 25 kWh, maybe using that 'boot' space, and you'd have a go-anywhere Summer vehicle. I truly hope that they attain their goal of producing an electric version of the 'Deux Chevaux'; they were always quirky, but somehow endearing runabouts. Oddly, despite their basic nature and uncomfortable rear seats, I miss seeing them.

Loving the production quality of this video. Getting better and better. Must have taken ages to put together. Good job.

Nice video work. Love the 360 shot at

I like the idea to build classic cars in our times. And even with an electric motor!

[@TheEVside]

Great video Ryan looks like a lot of fun! Hope they can bring that to FC Live 2019

[@SquareoftheyearFM]

Can’t wait for a proper conversion.

Cheers Ryan, it looks like a fun car to drive but as you said better suited for the warmer climate. However it does beg the question as to whether there is a market for a basic, cheap, short range electric transport that can be used in and around town. Just returned from a trip to Valencia and was surprised to see the number of folk using electric scooters - both the Vespa types and the ones you simply stand on. The latter were confined to cycle lanes and it would be fair to say there were more of these than cycles.

Wow that looks dangerous!
