context_page_description: Artega Automobil GmbH & Co. KG is a German sports car manufacturer based in Delbrück, Germany. Founded by Klaus Dieter Frers in 2006, the company's first product was a mid-engined sports coupé released in 2007. In early 2010 a private equity and venture capital firm that already held a stake in Artega took full control. Artega filed for bankruptcy in July 2012. It was reacquired by a company under Frers' control that same year and eventually resumed production, specializing in electric vehicles.

Resembling a road-going ATV "Quad", the Karo could carry a driver and one passenger riding two-up style. The battery pack had a capacity of 5.3 kWh, and the vehicle was to offered with three different motors with different power levels, depending on the rider's age and skill level. For the 17 kW version the 705 lb (319.8 kg) vehicle could accelerate from 0–50 mph (0.0–80.5 km/h) in 4.5 seconds. The Karo also came with a built-in wireless cellphone charger and a detachable sound system.
