Watts & Wheels Ep 2: ‘We test drive the Riddara electric bakkie’


Enviro Automotive has launched the Riddara RD6, South Africa’s first fully electric 4×4 bakkie – and Watts & Wheels has taken it for a test drive.

In episode 2 of Watts & Wheels – the brand-new South Africa motoring show from TechCentral – hosts William Kelly and Duncan McLeod throw the Riddara around some corners and chat with Enviro Automotive’s Francois Malan about why the company has introduced the Geely Auto-owned brand in South Africa.
