Fair report Part 3: Two-wheel vehicles from an electric bicycle up to a Maxi Scooter. Part 1: in general and special vehicles, part 2: Cars from sports-car up to the transporter.
Vectrix Maxiscooter
|
|
|
|
Tax-free, 20 kW engine and 6.8 seconds from 0 on 80 km/h. 3.7 kWh NiMh battery gives 110 kms range. This made the Vectrix Maxi Scooter the sensation on EVER Monaco.
|
Vectrix Maxi Scooter acceleration
|
|
|
|
6.8 seconds from 0 to 80 km/h. To move these figures in a video failed in the first attempt, the acceleration unusually high for electric vehicles was to surprising.
|
Video-receptions with the fair-sensation
|
|
|
|
The Vectrix Maxi scooters had been probably the most filmed object on the EVER Monaco. Which motorcycle would be better suitable for the camerawoman, than a quiet Vectrix?
|
Drive tax-free motorcycle
|
|
|
|
In England motorcycles have a tax badge. This tax board mounted on a quick Vectrix Maxi Scooter points: Tax-free, NIL, nothing, 0 pounds of tax.
|
20 kW electric motor in the back wheel
|
|
|
|
No chain or cardan shaft necessary. The brushless electric engine together
with the one gear is direct at the rear wheel. Maintenance-free for the life span of the Maxi Scooter.
|
Maxi Scooter with reverse gear
|
|
|
|
If one turns the gas grip in the reverse direction, the motor becomes a generator to recharge the battery. Standing, the gas grip becomes even a slow reverse gear.
|
Prince Albert visits an electric Maxi Scooter
|
|
|
|
What may the prince probably have thought at the Vectrix? Maybe about how much better the inhabitants of his principality could sleep if all motorcycles would be so quiet?
|
Scooter extrem cheap
|
|
|
|
GoWatt offers his elektro scooter for 1249 - EUR. With 3...4 kWh of electricity instead of 3...4 liters of gasoline plus lubricating oil. A price which gives the 2 stroke rattle stink scooter no chance.
|
Scooter consumption
|
|
|
|
Between fully and blank of the tank meter are only 2 kWh electric power for less than 40 Cent. After 4 years with 7500km each year is the difference in operating expenses
|
Electric scooter with lithium batteries
|
|
|
|
Instead of 2 kWh of battery with 60 kg of weight a lithium battery with 3 kWh of capacity raises the reach from 70 to 100 kms. The lighter lithium battery brings a better acceleration.
|
Hybrid scooter
|
|
|
|
Up to 40 km/h electrically, faster with the internal combustion engine. However, who would start the noisy engine, after he had enjoyed the almost silent gliding?
|
Scooter with front-wheel drive
|
|
|
|
The internal combustion engine propels the back wheel. In the front wheel is an electric motor. In the electric mode the hybrid scooter becomes a motorbike with front-wheel drive.
|
Scooter with hydrogen fuel cell
|
|
|
|
Beside all electric scooters in mutually price fight and against the fossil rattel stink scooter, this hydrogen scooter looks exotic.
|
Electric bicycles
|
|
|
|
As soon as one pedals, the electric motor starts to help. Something like a bicycle
with built in tail wind.
|
Electric folding bicycle
|
|
|
|
Park and Ride, once in the outskirts park the car and then go on with electric tail wind on the bicycle.
|
Test drives with electtic bicycles and scooters
|
|
|
|
Between Grimaldi forum and the sea is an area reserved for test driving for bicycles and light scooters. The EVER is much praxis oriented.
|
One person electric scooter
|
|
|
|
With energy saving 25km/h, the range is 40km. The weight of this 2 wheel vehicle with lead acid batteries is 59kg.
|
Electric 2 wheel vehicle for the postman
|
|
|
|
The same 2 wheel vehicle for the professional usage. Jam-bags and lithium batteries to provide, that the mailman can carry all and does not run out of electric power.
|
Quad
|
|
|
|
Until now, was nature-pleasure and quad driving incompatibly. Now, it goes fortunately also quietly because electric. The real nature-friend puts only electric power produced by sun or wind into the tank.
|
Quad motor and differential
|
|
|
|
Left above the rear-axis the electric motor, right the differential. Over the license plate the always carried along battery charger.
|
Electroquad with Shell sticker
|
|
|
|
What means a Shell sticker on an electric quad? Oh yes! This means that the electoquad is only recharged by a Shell photovoltaic!
|
Ranger silent in wood
|
|
|
|
With an electric quad almost silently driving through the forest. By this way, the ranger sees probably easily 10 times more animals than with a noisy combustion engine.
