The Volkswagen electric bicycle capable of carrying up to 210 kg
The car manufacturer Volkswagen presents us with an innovative electric bicycle design, which can load up to 210 kg with zero emissions.
Volkswagen has presented the Cargo e-Bike, an electric bicycle to open the market with the extra utility of being able to transport larger loads.
Its design is not traditional and it goes out of the ordinary. We have seen some minimalist concepts, but this has a platform to carry much more weight than we have seen so far. Panasonic also has its electric model with a basket, but the German company wants to take it a step further: three wheels, with lithium battery, zero emissions.
It can load more than 200 kg. Volkswagen wants to resume the path previously started with a model called Bik.e, but this time it wanted to make it more functional and practical.
It has a speed of 25 kilometers per hour, which is accompanied by a battery with a capacity of 500 watts per hour, giving it a range of up to 100 kilometers according to the manufacturer's instructions.
As for the dimensions, it measures more than two meters long and weighs approximately 40 kilos. This concept can support up to 210 kg (including the weight of the person driving) and a front axle built so that the bicycle does not lose balance, or go sideways when making tight turns, because a technology has been properly included Advanced that provides self-leveling.
It has a load tray with a limit of 90 centimeters, this was done to ensure that the vehicle passes through doors without any problem. This measure, taking into account the dimensions of the wheels that are 1.35 wide at the rear, creates a really stable center of gravity so as not to overturn the load. Each wheel measures 20 inches on the front and 24 on the rear.
