Despite its size, the Rodster is surprisingly well-equipped. This includes a wood-trimmed dashboard and steering wheel, black “eco-leather,” a touchscreen display, ambient lighting, and central locking. Weirdly, a manually retractable roof isn’t standard. If you want one, that will cost you extra, but Patak does throw in more features for the price, such as power-operated windows, windscreen wipers, and a rearview mirror.
Optionally, buyers can spring for fast charging capabilities, heated seats, wireless device charging, keyless entry, parking sensors, genuine leather upholstery, and more. Patak notes that the vehicle can be driven with a group B/B1 license, meaning most EU countries would allow 16-year-olds to drive the Rodster legally.
As for pricing, the Rodster starts at around $17,600 for the gas-powered model, considerably less than the Stage 1 ($24,000) and Stage 2 ($26,600) EVs. It’s a pricey piece of kit, but there’s no denying it’s cool. We doubt this will ever be legal in the United States, but it would make for a great runaround on a wealthy gearhead’s expansive estate instead of a custom golf cart.
