I'm conflicted. The influx of these vehicles has really saturated the market, which is great for deliveries. As customers demand lower prices for what they have read are our 'efficient ' vehicles, earnings per delivery have gone down.

It has been a blessing that the Dost Lite LX has such low maintenance costs. Fewer downtime = more gigs = more consistent income.

It's a double-edged sword. It is easy to get started in the delivery business, but it is equally easy for others. The market is crowded and it is becoming harder to stand out.

The Dost Lite LX has turned out to be fairly customizable. I changed mine into a mobile library for rural regions. It was easy to install bookshelves and a small awning on the flat bed.

Mine are used for a mobile coffee shop. The equipment fits perfectly in the payload capacity and I added a fold out counter on the side. The key? He gets a lot of attention at events!

I tried to convert it into a food truck but the electrical system was not enough for all the equipment I needed. An additional battery and inverter had to be installed.

I installed custom shelving units in the back for my courier service. Since the cargo area was of square shape, this was pretty straightforward. Doubled my organizing efficiency!

I am using it as a mobile pet grooming service. I added a water tank, pump and a small fold out table. The only issue was the suspension was a bit too soft, had to reinforce a bit.

Converted mine for use as a mobile workshop for on site repairs. The flat bed is good for tool storage, but I would want more points to fasten gear at.

Being so small, I had extendable ramps and a winch. It did affect the fuel efficiency a bit but the Dost Lite LX handled the additions well.

It is for my gardening business. Added a custom long tools rack and a small water tank. It is a back saver when loading heavy plants at a low loading height!

Turned it into a mobile clothing store. Racks are displayed by the side panels opening up. For festivals it has been great, but I had to add extra security features, which was a bit of a hassle.

Absolutely! I started using the Dost Lite LX for about 6 months now and it has changed my small courier game for the better. The fuel efficiency is no laughing matter, and I'm happily saving tons of money at the gas pump when compared to my previous car.

Eh, I'm not entirely convinced. It has a few good features, but the suspension has given me problems when fully loaded. However, for city deliveries, it’s not as smooth as I would like.

I believe it depends. It is perfect for my flower shop. It has a perfect payload for my deliveries of everyday and can fit through the narrow streets making it easy to navigate.

Overhyped, in my opinion. Fuel expenses are initially decreased significantly by these measures, however, the cost on maintenance increases in the long run. As expected I've had to replace parts more frequently.

I have a mixed feeling about it. If you’ll generally be using it in the city, it’s great, but for longer highway use, you’ll feel it’s a bit underpowered. I want them to have a more powerful engine option.

For a small business owner, I think it is worth it. There is nothing better than a low turning radius in tight spots and it has had a lower TCO (if you don't count repairs, which aren't insignificant thighs) than my other car.

I'm on the fence. Although ideal for urban delivery, I do find the cabin a bit cramped for longer journeys. Certainly there could be improvements on comfort.
