Title: An interesting electric three-wheel city delivery vehicle
Post by: Richard230 on October 03, 2018, 08:03:08 PM

This version of a three-wheel commercial electrical delivery vehicle is kind of interesting. Not only does it seem to be able to carry a lot of stuff (200kg - or 800 cans of beer) securely, but the front half tilts when cornering, it seems well designed, it has a "cruising" speed of 95kph, a battery claimed to last for 8 years in fleet operation and it's 5.2 kWh battery is rated for 10C charging/discharging and can be charged with a fast DC charger from 0 to 80% in only 15 minutes. I find those design features to be pretty impressive, but probably a bit over the top for use in Indian or South East Asia city use.  ;) No word about pricing, though:

I see four large what appears to be wires going  to the motor.

Round profile tire only at front.

Snail mode.
