Created in 2006, the start-up Véléance has since developed its own reclining tricycle technology.

This 3 electric wheel is now available for testing to local communities and businesses. First look !
To design the Tri'Ode, Véléance brains chose to tackle urban mobility. According to a study by ADEME, the French Environment and Energy Management Agency, out of eight urban trips made by car, seven are by the driver alone. Even in smooth traffic, the average speed does not exceed 20 km / h and distance 8 km. And as 50% of city trips have a professional purpose, the Tri'Ode is particularly aimed at businesses and local communities. In the line of sight, next month's tender for 100 000 electric vehicles! To best meet them, the Tri'Ode can easily adapt to the specific needs of each company, public or private. To clarify their expectations, they can already register to participate in the short-term rental campaign that will begin in the fourth quarter 2009.

depending on the options, the Tri'Ode is traded between 5 000 and 6 000 €. The transmission is entrusted to a belt. We also note the presence of an adjustable seat and a reverse despite a weight announced at only 120 kilos. Performance side, this city tricycle does not require a license. It therefore has a speed limited to the 45 km / h regulations. Autonomy is given for 50 km (ECE 47 cycle).
