Indeed and the latter was preceded by the Peraves Ecomobile from the same manufacturer and finally the Monotrace of 1922 built in France in 300 copies under license from the "Mauser einspurauto" ... in all cases, lifting stabilizing wheels. ..
The current monotrace costs the price of a small Porsche, with the acceleration of a big ... and has never been approved in France

4.16L / 100 110km / h is not that bad, so despite the hunt for CX ...

The vehicle was more beautiful before ... seen on the main square of Brussels, there is +/- 30 years ...

Not a lot of sales ...
Price too high probably

And if the bike of the future existed for fifteen years?

I do not know if it will be electric, but here are some selected videos of electric motorcycles

The EV X7 protype seems to be one of the best candidate "for the future" of urban motorcycles: https://www.econologie.com/forums/moto-elect ... t1736.html

And why not this concept: diesel engine + electric motor.

Nice concept of urban scooter! Can we ride with when?

[I Citro]

I do not see at all the interest of such a machine in our developed countries ...
The concept is of no interest in France or it is likely to be recaled because of pollution ...

This scooter can not be approved in Japan or diesel is prohibited.

The photo clearly shows the absence of electric motor in the front wheel, so it is a strictly thermal proto.

In France, users of 2 wheels rarely make more than 50 km daily, so an 2 electric wheel is enough if you have a sheltered parking place provided with a power socket.

The concept describes the possibility of using the scooter to provide electricity in alternating current (1500W in 230V) which destines it to underdeveloped countries or it would make it possible to compensate the failures of the electrical network ...

I think this announcement aims to find investors (pigeons?). I do not find the concept relevant or realistic in many ways that it would take a long time to emulate.

No agreement citro ...

a) we know that the overall energy balance of thermal and electricity are equivalent...

b) this diesel scooter would probably consume less 2L / 100 in town ... it's not negligible especially since it has a good loading capacity ...

c) a modern diesel mono (or twin) tdi can very well pass the pollution tests

But I agree with your last point: it's a concept (galore?) More ...

[I Citro]

The energy balance of an 2 electric wheel compared to a 2 thermal wheels is much better, in favor of the electric that will consume less than 8kWh 100km.

Moreover, the 2 electric wheels does not pose problems of local pollution (gas, particles, noises, smells).

All this for a service that the electric model will serenely because daily journeys will easily return to the autonomy of the vehicle.

And I'm not talking about the pleasure ... But to judge, you must have tried.
