Friday late afternoon. It's raining and it even snows in the Gastein valley. No leisure time motorcycle driver underway at this weather. But it should not be tested for fun.
|
| First test drive Bad Hofgastein to Gartenau

Very hardly, it was possible to drive this distance without charging. To save energy, I drove with tacho 60 later even with tacho 50. Astonishing the odometer shows 103,5 km

| Consumption scooter 125ccm 11 kW class
| |
|
Surprisingly economical for the performance is the Solar Scooter Sport at our test. Here a list of travels and the consumption at recharging.

| 
| |
|
With nearly 80cm length of the seat and 185 kg pay load nor only a real 2 seater, even people with a little bit overweight have a real sufficient place.
|
| Helmet locker only for the charger
|
| 
| |
|
There is no place for a helmet, only for the charger. There would be so much place down to the batteries. Presumably, it's the same helmet locker like for the gasoline version.
|
| Gas handle extreme rough
|
| 
| |
|
The gas handle reacts extreme rough. As an emergency solution for this problem, the producer has placed a switch beside the handle.
|
| Wheel hub engine for 13 inch rims
|
| 
| |
|
Still 2007, I thought a thermical engine shut off is an absolute must. Only 10 degree Celsius at the travel to top of the Gaisberg had been a very positive surprise.
|
| Instruments Solar Scooter Sport

| 
| |
|
750 Watt charging power give together with the low test consumption of 4,22 kWh/100km a load speed of 17,7 km/h. Only 2 Watt Stand by consumption are noted also very positive.
|
