Inside, the passenger seat is replaced by a polypropylene cargo module. This can be accessed from both sides, thanks to a hinged top cover (which is also removable). A choice of two different height settings for the loadspace floor provides further flexibility.

The powertrain is shared with the regular Rocks-e. Therefore, an 8 PS (8 bhp / 6 kW) electric motor is combined with a 5.5 kWh battery pack, and provisional range according to the WLTP measure is 47 miles (75 kilometres). Recharging via an ordinary domestic socket takes around four hours.
