Melex is an electric vehicle produced by a company of the same name in Mielec, Poland. It has been in production since 1971. The car, having full necessary equipment such as headlamps and seatbelts, is very quiet and does not pollute the environment, so it is usually used in places where standard cars are not allowed. It is also smaller but slower than them. (the maximum speed is about 30 km/h or 19 mp/h, depending on the version). Depending on jurisdiction, some versions may require a driver's license to operate because of their size. It is equipped with a battery and rectifier for recharging.
