South Mobile
designed by South Expeditions
A new way to explore Chile’s vineyards and countryside.
Chile
The South Mobile is a unique pedal-electric vehicle designed to explore vineyards and countryside in a completely new way. Inspired by the elegant lines of a 1950s Ferrari, it combines human power and electric assistance to create a smooth, silent, and environmentally responsible experience.
Designed for two passengers, each rider pedals at their own rhythm while enjoying a comfortable and intuitive driving system with a steering wheel, making the experience natural and easy. Built from lightweight aviation aluminum and powered by a 3500-watt motor, South Mobile can travel on quiet rural roads and even railway lines, opening routes rarely explored by traditional vehicles.
More than a vehicle, South Mobile is a new way to travel—active, elegant, and connected to the landscape.
