I don’t have a whole lot of details here, but looks like Germany’s Emax is kicking up a new Silicone Lead Acid battery scooter for 2008. Here’s what AutoExpress (title link) had to say:
The battery-powered twist ‘n’ go machine has a range of around 60 miles when travelling at its restricted top speed of 30mph – and the maker claims it costs only 1p per mile to run.Even better news for motorists is that the Emax is classed as a moped – so drivers who passed their test before February 2001 can ride it on their car licence. The scooter has an LCD and analogue dashboard display, while the custom frame has been designed to carry batteries rather than an engine.
The system incorporates four 12V/60AH silicone lead acid power packs – and Emax says these can be completely recharged within three hours.
Thanks to our good friend and reporter David Steiner (who provided our coverage on the Vectrix) for the scoop here.
