Joel Sousa reveals that FAMEL's rebirth with an electric motorcycle is not about eccentricity but about leaving a legacy for his children and protecting the environment. In this conversation, he states that this 'is not being eccentric; it is having a mission.' It is a firm and purposeful vision for electric mobility.
Joel Sousa is the name behind the rebirth of the iconic FAMEL, now in an electric version. More than nostalgia, the project has a mission: to leave a sustainable legacy for future generations and continue to be an affordable vehicle for all, just as it was in the past. FAMEL represented affordable mobility in Portugal for decades, and now it returns with the same philosophy, but adapted to modern times. Joel Sousa shares the vision of creating something that not only honors the past but also contributes to a cleaner and more sustainable future. "This is not being eccentric; it is having a mission," states Joel. This mission involves democratizing electric mobility, making it accessible to all Portuguese people, just as the original FAMEL did with its mopeds. The goal is clear: to offer a sustainable, economical, and practical alternative for everyday life.
