Using the two prototypes it was possible to show that the chosen vehicle concept – an electrically powered maxi scooter – is indeed ideally suited as a vehicle for commuters who drive to work daily in urban conurbations or surrounding areas.
Using the two prototypes it was possible to show that the chosen vehicle concept – an electrically powered maxi scooter – is indeed ideally suited as a vehicle for commuters who drive to work daily in urban conurbations or surrounding areas. The vehicle is on the one hand small enough to cope with parking and traffic problems in big cities and on the other powerful enough not to hold up traffic on main rural roads or motorways.
The trial confirmed the calculations on required battery capacity. Over the course of the trial the range of at least 100 km in practical use proved correct. This capacity gives users the freedom to charge in general at home or at places convenient to them without having to constantly be thinking about where the nearest charging station is located.
Summing up, these concept prototypes therefore fulfil the requirements that a potential customer could have of such a vehicle. However, in the course of developing and building the prototypes certain technical challenges were identified that would need to be comprehensively tackled before any implementation as a possible full-production project (in the case of the concept vehicles through appropriate measures such as vehicle training sessions and use on non-public test circuits only).
