The Immortus electric vehicle is the world's first solar-powered vehicle that can be driven indefinitely, as it does not require recharging. It is the vision of the future of the Australian company EVX Ventures, which as an alternative to the sun offers a drive on electric HUB motors on the rear wheels, which is provided by a 10 kWh lithium-ion battery with a night range of 400 kilometers. The first prototype of the vehicle will be shown to the public for the first time through a puddle at the SEMA Show in November 2015.
Electric mobility
On the market, electric bicycles are growing like mushrooms after the rain, so their price is steadily falling, and their popularity is increasing. But in order to be able to talk about the "e-epidemic" of e-bikes, the price - in addition to weight, the main minus of such bikes - will have to drop a bit. Even before that, customers have a great alternative - ONwheel. A device that turns a regular bike into an e-bike in seconds. The battery and 800-watt brushless electric motor weigh just over 800 grams, which makes ONwheel kill two birds with one stone - weight and price.
Among the flood of electric bicycles, which all serve the same purpose and differ from each other in the same way that smartphones differ from each other in terms of appearance (so practically nothing) - of course there are bright exceptions - the Ubco 2x2 multifunctional electric bicycle stands out from the competition. This 174-kilogram two-wheeler not only looks different, but also behaves differently from the others. It is an all-terrain bike and a true multi-tasker, as you can use it to transport heavy loads in the morning, and chase off-road trails in the afternoon.
The Bolt M-1 is still fundamentally "just" a bike. You can drive it. But the point is, you don't need one. It is an electric bike with a battery that can take you 80 kilometers on a charge, and it can "cruise" at a speed of up to 64 km/h. The high-tech bicycle with regenerative brakes is connected to a smartphone, where through a special application you can access all collected data such as speed, distance, etc., and you can also unlock it wirelessly.
The Trefecta DRT is an electric bike for geeks from the future and an attempt to get people to give up car transportation more en masse. But many people have a hard time saying goodbye to the comfort and technology they bring. The Trefecta company therefore offered them an e-bike that can hide even many cars, as it is equipped with technology that is not even found in steel horses.
Electric bicycles have experienced a real boom in recent years. How could they not, when for many they turn the previously too difficult snacks into tireless rides. Whether it's for the elderly, whether it's for people who commute to work and don't want to come to the workplace sweaty. But many do not have the privilege of going to work and errands only by bicycle, as the distances are too great. This is where A-Bike Electric comes in, the lightest folding electric bike in the world that you can easily combine with other types of transportation.
It started with the rickshaw, a two-wheeled vehicle with one or two seats pulled by a human being. These were replaced by wheeled rickshaws, which are not only found in Asia, but also in the West. Then came the Piggio Ape vehicles, which were not environmentally friendly. The next step in the evolution of rickshaws is Lindo, Kyle Armstrong's easy-to-operate electric and eco-friendly rickshaw.
At the American bike manufacturer Vela, they want to make our daily struggle with city transportation easier. Namely, they made an advanced electric bicycle with a retro look, which they also presented on Kickstarter.
Starting this spring, Renault electric vehicles for carbon-free mobility will be seen on the streets of Slovenian cities. Great, right?!
More and more alternative drive cars are knocking on the door of series production. Thus, conventional roads are already regular guests of electric vehicles, and now solar cell cars are also flirting with them. One such is the Sunswift eVe, the solar car of Australian students from the University of New South Wales, who want to drive it on the streets of Sydney as early as July 2015. The car should pass all safety and other standards required for vehicle registration by then. This will make it the first vehicle of its kind in the southern hemisphere.
Elon Musk, the father of the electric car brand Tesla, is not nicknamed the Steve Jobs of the automobile for nothing. He proved this once more when he introduced the Tesla Powerwall batteries, which have the ability to store solar energy. These would or will power homes, businesses, maybe even the entire world. By being able to store the energy of solar cells for later use, which until now has been the biggest obstacle in the use of renewable energy sources, they are changing not only the "producer" of electricity, but the very course of history.
Let's face it. Most e-bikes are not overly attractive. It is rare that it is decorated with a refined and fashionable design. But the CRUZ vintage electric cruiser bikes from the Californian brand Vintage Electric defy any stigma that has attached to these types of bikes since they first appeared. It also almost imperceptibly carries a 3,000-watt motor with which it can reach speeds of up to 60 km/h without propulsion.
