The other day we showed a bunch of heavy vehicle at the Stora Nolia exhibition. Yesterday, while walking around, we found even more vehicles that we just had to show off!
Vehicles for business and pleasure
Some off-road vehicles may be useful for working in the forest. Other vehicles seem to be mostly for pleasure driving. Whatever you're looking for, there's plenty to check out here at Nolia. We've sampled some more cool or different vehicles. Any favourites among these?

Ama de casa says:
Mopeds are very common down here. Cute - but some of them are alive with something unbelievable... However, it seems to be mostly older people driving them, maybe it's because they are not cheap to buy.

Well, no. I probably didn't want any of these 😀 Not even the mop truck. It's a pain in the arse, haha.
But try and look at them, you can! 😀
Goodbye!

The moped vehicle, great, you can drive to and from the nursing home, I feel safe in the face of old age if the driving licence disappears ha-ha! Very good report ?

What is a mop truck?

You see more and more moped cars. Very lovely vehicles.

BP says:
What cool vehicles! Some of them are miniature tracked vehicles.
My favourite is probably the Spyder F3.
I think mopeds are becoming more and more popular.

Steve, we girls didn't want to be inferior 😉.
Ama de casa, interesting that mopeds are common down there and that it's older people who drive them! I thought it was mostly for young people, but we also saw that they were expensive, so I understand that there are not many young people who can afford one ...
Geddfish, you have to be a bit picky! 😉
Lena, haha, I haven't thought about that use, but it seems great! 😉 And glad you like the report!
Znogge, yes or no?
Ruth in Virginia, it may not be called a moped, but what we're referring to are cars that don't go very fast and can be driven without a licence. The only requirement is a moped licence, so they can be driven from the age of 15.
Nils-Åke, they were nicer than I thought they would be, but on the other hand quite expensive ...
BP, isn't it cool? 🙂
Christine, yes some of these vehicles are real (expensive) toys...;)

åsa i åsele says:
The Outlander 6X6 ST is my favourite 🙂 .
Even here in inland Norrland, mopeds are driven by elderly people who in some cases should not be allowed to sit behind the wheel 😉.
I hope you don't have to deal with the rain and cold that has hit the hinterland.

Åsa in Åsele, it was cool! 🙂 Yes, it has become colder now unfortunately ...
Katta, all sorts of things happen here 🙂
Matts, it's actually a fun fair! A little far away perhaps, but it is in Umeå every other year 😉.
Deciree, haha, you choose the coolest ones 😉.
