a handy bit of redundancy

[Klpno]

Hi everyone.
I'd like to ask about the meaning of the expression 'a handy bit of redundancy.'

combat vehicle description:
It ran completely on electricity, with motors in each of the four wheels, a handy bit of redundancy.

Does the phrase 'a handy bit of redundancy' mean that motors in each of the four wheels are a little redundant but this vehicle is easy to drive?

Yes, but not necessarily 'easy to drive'-- it could mean 'powerful' or 'convenient in an emergency' or something else.
