Does the Roadie 15L work as a centre console?
Yes it does. As every car is different, you will need to measure how much space you have between your seats to see if the Roadie 15L will fit your car. Also check online, there are a few aftermarket companies that make centre console kits for the Roadie 15L.
Does the Roadie 15L have battery protection settings?

You can fit 20 x 375ml cans in the Roadie 15L.

Can I run the Bushman Roadie 15L from 240V mains power?
