It is manufactured by French light weight automobile maker Ligier and has a cruising speed of 20km/h.

The shuttle has no steering wheel and neither dedicated front nor back and at any point on its route the EZ10 can easily change its direction without needing a short turn. It is equipped with a Lithium-ion battery and a 230V, 16A battery charger.
