In wet weather, the handlebar controls would short out, & they would either stop or worse, start driving themselves.
Range anxiety was a thing - on a long day they would die a mile or so from the delivery office on the return journey. Then would be left until a recovery vehicle with a tail lift could come out, sometimes days. Once the plod found some travelling gentlemen attempting to remove the batteries - I'd left it in the car cark next to the station.
After a few months, the project was quietly shelved. Later I found out that electric trikes had been far more successful in the initial trials, but ruled out on H&S grounds. The E-HCT's themselves were a conversion of a design used for moving luggage etc about interior spaces of warehouses & airports.
