Starting January 21, 2025, Fulham residents in London will have access to a new mode of electric transportation thanks to Yo-Go. These Neighbourhood Electric Vehicles (NEV), resembling large golf carts, are set to offer an eco-friendly and convenient alternative to traditional travel options.
New urban mobility option
These yellow electric buggies can be rented for 20 pence per minute through a dedicated app. With a top speed of 20 mph, they are available to drivers over the age of 25. The Hammersmith & Fulham Council has approved free parking for these vehicles, encouraging their adoption by locals.

Innovative and eco-friendly solution
Sam Bailey, CEO of Yo-Go, plans to expand the fleet to 50 vehicles soon. Known for his previous inventions like leak detection and stove monitoring systems, Bailey is now focused on creating a safe, non-polluting urban transport system to help reduce traffic congestion with these smaller vehicles.
Advanced features
Each NEV costs around £6,000 and boasts a range of 56 km, enhanced by solar panels on the roof. This makes them both a cost-effective and environmentally friendly option for city travel.
