[Jangheung, South Jeolla] Delivery Story: Papa 4, the Agricultural Electric Vehicle That Will Become a Reliable Pair of Wheels for an Elderly Farmer

We visited Jangheung, South Jeolla, where lush mountains and the familiar scent of earth warmly welcomed us.

With their heartfelt wishes for an elderly farmer whose knees had rarely known rest after a lifetime of caring for their children and working the land,

we set out with Lohwell SM's workhorse, Papa 4, loaded up.

The weather was sunny, and we arrived at the elderly farmer's home with light hearts.

A Warm First Meeting and Safe Unloading

As the dedicated delivery truck entered the elderly farmer's yard after passing through the village roads,
the elderly farmer came out to greet us in stockinged feet.

When they saw us safely unload the yellow four-wheeled electric vehicle Papa 4 from the cargo bed,
they repeatedly ran their hands over the vehicle body with delight.

The colour is lovely, and the vehicle
looks really sturdy!

Their delighted greeting instantly washed away the fatigue of the long journey.

One-on-One, Step-by-Step Driving Instruction

No matter how good an electric vehicle is, it should not be confusing to operate alone,
so we sat together in the driver's seat and explained everything carefully.

- From inserting and turning the ignition key to getting a feel for the accelerator and brake pedals
- The forward/reverse control lever for easy switching
- How to engage the parking brake for safety when stopped
- Checking the locations of the turn signal, horn and headlight switches

The elderly farmer

said they were worried because they were afraid of machines
and not good at handling them, but

we reassured them, saying, "If you take it slowly, it is easier to handle than a bicycle," and practised alongside them three or four times until they became familiar with the controls.

After listening calmly to the explanation, the elderly farmer soon took hold of the steering wheel and
said, "I think I am getting the hang of how to operate it now,"
with visible relief.

A Ride Through the Village and a Radiant Smile

After learning the controls, the elderly farmer took the wheel themselves and drove around the road in front of the house and the village lanes.

Thanks to the four-wheel vehicle's characteristically firm traction and wide tyres, it handled unpaved sections and gentle uphill roads smoothly and steadily.
After completing the drive at ease with a light grip on the steering wheel, the elderly farmer

said, "I will be able to get around the yard and fields comfortably
without putting any strain on my ankles or knees,"

and smiled brightly.
Only then did we, watching nearby, finally feel relieved.

Key Features of the Lohwell SM Papa 4

- Canopy and Front Windshield for Protection from Sun, Rain and Wind:

They block the midday sun and cold wind, allowing safe and comfortable travel throughout all four seasons.

- Easy Charging with a 220V Household Outlet:

There is no need to look for a gas station—simply plug it into an outlet in your yard at home for economical charging.

- Spacious cargo bed & wide tires:

It can carry plenty of farming tools and harvested crops, while travelling stably along field paths and dirt roads.

As Papa 4 travels across the fields of Jangheung and becomes a comfortable means of transport for seniors,
we sincerely hope you always operate it safely and in good health without overexerting yourself.
