Electric Wheels unveiled its latest addition to a range of all-electric farm vehicles at the recent Groundswell event.
The Pickman is a compact all-electric pick-up reminiscent of a farm cult classic, the Suzuki Jimny. It comes fully equipped with LED lighting, reversing camera, power steering, a USB charger, a roof rack with lights and an infotainment system with Bluetooth connectivity.

Its dual 7.5kW and 3kW motors deliver four-wheel-drive, with a top speed of 40mph and a range of up to 70 miles from one charge. For farmers looking for a load-carrying vehicle, it can transport up to 500kg on its bed, with a similar towing capacity and a four-door model is available.
“We are delighted to add the Pickman to our range,” said Electric Wheels’ managing director, Chris Hurdle. “It is a unique vehicle that has attracted significant attention from our customers at Groundswell. We have four machines available to demo this summer as part of our test market for it and we expect to have a full launch for the vehicle in spring 2024.”
