Yes the handle bars are located next to the seating arrangements. It may look like something your 3 year old may drive but it is driveable on our city roads. Not only is it equipped with turning and braking indicators but it is the first "bike" to feature anti-locking brakes. The carbon fiber frame ensures strength but keeps it light enough (10 kg/22 lb) to carry up a couple flights of stairs after you spend the 15 seconds it takes to fold it up.
It's said that its 1 kW motor offers a power to weight ratio better than many sports cars and makes acceleration brisk but the electronically set speed limit of 20 km/h (12.5 mph) will keep you from overtaking any corvettes on the straightaways. Unless there's heavy traffic. That's where the Yikebike's small footprint and maneuverability might turn smirks of superiority to expressions of envy. The lithium battery can take you 9 to 10 kilometers (about 6 miles) and takes 20 minutes to charge 80 percent. Don't look for this sleek set of wheels on sale in America anytime soon as the roll out early next summer includes only a handful of European countries and its home turf, New Zealand. It seems the price is somewhere in the 4 to 5 thousand range (US currency). Don't quote me on this price, I got these through rumours.
The Erokit electric bicycle built by Stefan Gulas was introduced in Germany. The name is pronounced "e rocket".
The eROCKIT Bike combines the operation of a bicycle, i.e. step accelerating by strengthened into the pedals, with the road performances of a motorcycle. The electric motor provides for a high acceleration and maximum speed of 80 km/h.
“The healthy and refreshing total body employment of the wheel driving is combined with the driving dynamics of a motorcycle.” - manufacturer quote.
The range of the vehicle amounts to dependent, on style of driving and on the distance condition, 60 to 80 kilometers. Subsequently, the batteries, at a usual 220-V-Steckdose, must be loaded again. A loading procedure is final in three to four hours
eROCKIT is series hybrid: To progressive movement humans steer the number of revolutions of an electric motor by a crank gear and an inserted generator. The generator registers the rotation of the crank gear and sends according to the footstep frequency an output signal to control electronics. , The faster turns 8 KW strong direct current brush engine is the faster stepped.
The generator, which takes up the rotation of the crank gear, is a permanent magnet generator and recovers at the same time the footstep energy, which is then used for the reloading of the batteries.
The energy storage eROCKITs consists of lithium ion nano-phosphate batteries, which are characterised by thermal stability, high power density and long life span out. The batteries with an overall capacity of 2,9 KW/H are accommodated in a carbon fiber kevlar box.
A battery management system supervised permanently the conditions of the accumulators and provides for its optimal enterprise. This happens both when driving and in the switched off condition of the vehicle. By a load reconciliation between the individual battery cells the battery management system increases the life span of the batteries and maximises the range.
eROCKIT under Germany as light motorcycle and receives an European Union width road permission is classified. The vehicle is thus characteristic and driving licence requiring (in Germany the motorcycle driving licence class A1 necessarily).
The maximum speed of 80 km/h gives eROCKIT free trip also on motorways.
Meet the Nissan Leaf. 100% Electric Car. Zero Emissions.
Nissan Leaf is Nissan’s first zero-emission electric car, entering select markets in 2010 and launching globally, including Canada, in 2012.
Don't confuse it with a hybrid or any other type of gas-powered, eco-friendly vehicle. This is electric – 100%. That means it burns zero gas and produces zero emissions. But this is no golf-cart.
Off the line, Nissan Leaf performs like a V6. Plus, there’s room for five, and it comes with all the quality, reliability and versatility you’ve come to expect from Nissan cars.
Zero tailpipe emissions
100% electric – no gas required
Competitively priced
Speeds up to 140 km/hr
Five passengers, five doors
Advanced airbags, premium audio, Nissan navigation system, and more
Nissan Motor Co. CEO Carlos Ghosn poses with the automaker's new electronic vehicle 'Leaf' during an opening ceremony of the company's new headquarters in Yokohama, Japan, Sunday, Aug. 2, 2009.
YOKOHAMA, Japan – Nissan Chief Executive Carlos Ghosn drove quietly out of the Japanese automaker's soon-to-open headquarters Sunday in the first public viewing of its new zero-emission vehicle.
It was the first time the external design was shown of Nissan Motor Co.'s environmentally friendly electric automobile, set to go on sale in Japan, the U.S. and Europe next year. The blue hatchback had a sporty design and a recharging opening in the front.
Designer Shiro Nakamura said the vehicle was designed to avoid a stereotypical futuristic design.
"This is not a niche car," he said. "We didn't make it unusual looking. It had to be a real car."
Nissan has promised that the Leaf, which goes into mass-production as a global model in 2012, will be about the same price as a gas-engine car such as the 1.5 million yen ($15,000) Tiida, which sells abroad as the Versa, starting at about $10,000.
Tesla Motors announced today that it has already received 520 orders for its recently unveiled Model S sedan, an all-electric vehicle capable of carrying seven passengers. Unlike the company’s flashier and more expensive roadster, the car is designed to fit the needs of middle-class families.
Reservations for the Model S started pouring in after its Los Angeles debut last week. Eventually, Tesla plans to offer its vehicles through its own retail stores slated to open in Chicago, London, New York, Miami, Seattle, Washington D.C. and Munich. But consumers will have to wait till 2011 for production to begin in earnest, and that’s only if the company receives the $350 million loan it applied for from the Department of Energy’s Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing Program. It will use the money to construct an assembly plant in California devoted solely to Model S production.
The car is expected to sell for $49,900 — factoring in a federal tax credit of $7,500. And consumers who reserve their models early must pay a $5,000 refundable fee. This might sound a little steep, especially in this economic climate, but the company claims that when you consider how much money you save on gas with the car, the price is equivalent to a $35,000 gasoline-powered car.
The Model S can be charged by connecting to any standard electrical outlet, and each charging session can take it 300 miles. Based on released stats, it doesn’t seem to be underpowered either, with a top speed of 130 miles-per-hour. There is also some fun icing on the cake: a 17-inch touchscreen with 3G connectivity, allowing passengers to tap into Pandora Radio or Google Maps on the go. Check out a video of a test drive below.
The Tata Indica Vista EV will be a more practicable option for the consumer: capable of carrying four individuals, adequate luggage space, with a predicted range of up to 200 km and acceleration of 0-60 kmph in under 10 seconds. Tata Motors continues its innovative approach with the Indica Vista EV too, using super polymer lithium ion batteries which have superior energy density to conventional batteries. Tata Motors’ electric vehicles will be produced in association with Miljo Grenland/Innovasjon, Norway. Tata Motors’ UK subsidiary, Tata Motors European Technical Centre plc, has a 70% stake in Miljo. The first such vehicle to be developed by the company is the Indica EV, which is currently undergoing extensive tests in Europe.
Besides these three new cars, Tata Motors is displaying the new generation Tata Indica Vista itself. Launched in India in August 2008, it has received excellent customer response. It has received two prestigious Indian awards -- the UTVi Autocar Best Value for Money Car Award and the Business Standard Motoring Jury Award. Also on display is the Tata Xenon 2.2 litre double-cab, an ideal dual-use vehicle with contemporary styling and superior convenience.
BMW commits to 500 Electric Mini Coopers in California (posted February 2, 2009)
BMW has its Oxford, UK, plant building Minis without engines, transmissions or fuel tanks, and then ships them to Munich where the electric drivetrains are installed.
"BMW sources told Automotive News Europe that 490 of the Minis will be leased to selected customers in California and 10 will be used as show cars."
The Mini E features a 150-kilowatt (204 horsepower) asynchronous motor coupled to a single-stage helical gearbox. The drivetrain produces 162 foot-pounds of torque the moment you hit the accelerator, propelling the car from 0 to 62 mph in 8.5 seconds. Top speed is limited to 95 mph.
Power comes from a 35-kWh, lithium-ion battery with a range of 150 miles. It is comprised of 5,088 individual cells in an air-cooled battery pack that weighs 573 pounds and charges in about eight hours. Those who lease the car get a "wallbox" that BMW will install in customers' garages to increase the amperage, reducing the charge time to 2.5 hours. Regenerative braking will help keep the battery charged out on the road, an arrangement BMW says extended the battery's range by 20 percent.
That's a mighty big battery to stuff into something so small as a Mini, therefore no back seat. The two-seater EV Mini weighs in at a 3,230 pounds, 600 pounds more than the standard Mini — but because the added heft is in the middle of the car, BMW says, the Mini E has a 50-50 weight distribution. The suspension has been beefed up to handle the added weight, and BMW promises "the Mini E sports the brand's hallmark agility and outstanding handling."
BMW is building the cars at the Mini plant in Oxford, England, then shipping them to Munich to install the battery and electric drivetrain. All 500 should be ready to go by the end of the year, and they'll roll into customers' driveways as early as next year next year. "Putting the Mini E on the road on a daily basis will be a pioneering feat to which both the drivers and engineers of the first zero-emissions Mini will contribute as a team."
Could EEstor Batteries be the ultimate solution to extended distance electric vehicle battery source for 400 kilometers and recharge times of under 10 minutes? A short review and investigation on the rumours (posted Dec 16, 2008)
EEStor, is a privately-held Texas company holding the Patent No. 7,033,406 that claims "for replacement of electrochemical batteries" Which equals a major breakthrough in ultra capacitor technology.
Canadian NEV manufacturer ZENN signed an exclusive supply deal with EEStor and invested in the company.
However, plans to demonstrate the new devices this year have failed to materialize so far. The company founder Dr. Richard Weir has declared that the company won't meet its target of producing storage devices by the end of this year.
He did leave himself the out that the original target of producing hardware in 2008 was based on getting sufficient funding for the company, something which has not transpired.
Weir does claim to have made some recent progress with a deal with Light Electric Vehicles Company. Hopefully, EEStor will succeed in its efforts because any new technology that can make EVs more practical and affordable is a good thing. But there are certainly no guarantees.
Much like capacitors, ultracapacitors store energy in an electrical field between two closely spaced conductors, or plates. When voltage is applied, an electric charge builds up on each plate.
Ultracapacitors have many advantages over traditional electrochemical batteries. Unlike batteries, "ultracaps" can completely absorb and release a charge at high rates and in a virtually endless cycle with little degradation.
Where they're weak, however, is with energy storage. Compared with lithium-ion batteries, high-end ultracapacitors on the market today store 25 times less energy per pound.
This is why ultracapacitors, with their ability to release quick jolts of electricity and to absorb this energy just as fast, are ideal today as a complement to batteries or fuel cells in electric-drive vehicles. The power burst that ultracaps provide can assist with stop-start acceleration, and the energy is more efficiently recaptured through regenerative braking--an area in which ultracap maker Maxwell Technologies has seen significant results.
The only way to invest in the stock market for this Ultracapacitor Technology is through a electric car company call ZENN Motor Company Inc. (ZNN:TSXV) which has rights to the new technology for the future and has purchased a fraction of the company EEstor.
Here is the press release:
" ZENN Motor Company is in regular contact with EEStor as we have made a significant investment in both an exclusive technology agreement and the company itself. ZENN Motor Company makes frequent visits to the EEStor facility, is pleased with their progress, and is confident in EEStor’s stated commitment to deliver a commercial EESU (Electrical Energy Storage Unit) in 2008. All ZMC updates on EEStor’s progress that are deemed material information will be disclosed via a news release to the investment community and in a press release to other media. All of these updates will of course be posted on our website as well."
Here is a list of other companies developing the new Ultracapacitor Technology:
Renault-Nissan signed a joint venture agreement with the State Of Israel on January 21, 2008. (posted Dec 4, 2008)
Renault-Nissan signed a joint venture agreement with the State Of Israel on January 21, 2008 to launch the development and production of a new concept electric car for the Middle East. The electric car project is called 'Project Better Place' and it is expected to have economic benefits both for Israel and the rest of the Middle East and spread to other countries as the Renault-Nissan's electric car infrastructure investment takes hold. Already Denmark and Denmark's DONG Energy have initiated a partnering process with Project Better Place that should culminate in an agreement shortly and initiate a battery charging network in Denmark by 2011.
Israel has committed to build an electric car supporting infrastructure by creating charging spots and battery exchange stations for electric vehicles within the country. It is believed that through this leadership, and through the provision of incentives to this electric car industry, Israel will be able to help launch other green industries and JV relationships with other Middle East partners to create the 'Better Place' that all hope for. Renault-Nissan are the first major automotive company to come behind the project, but the infrastructure itself will promote the involvement of other car companies as well.
Project Better Place is an initiative that has a global business plan and Idan Ofer is its Chairman. The CEO, Shai Agassi has raised more than $200 million for the Project, with support coming from VantagePoint Venture Partners, Israel Corporation, Morgan Stanley and other private investors who share a concern about global climate change and a universal desire to help all.
The involvement of Renault-Nissan in Project Better Place is significant. Carlos Ghosn, President and CEO of both Renault and Nissan, has indicated that Nissan plans to launch their first battery car by 2010 and that Renault-Nissan together will have a complete line of electric vehicles by 2012. NEC will supply the lithium ion batteries for Project Better Place, and the Renault Electric car will be launched in Israel for 2011. Project Better Place will construct and maintain 500,000 battery charging spots as part of the project. Renault itself has taken a bold step to say that the future for the car company is to be 100% electric.
BYD F6DM - Is This Chinese Plug In Electric Car coming soon to our neighbourhood? (posted Nov 5, 2008)
Who is China's largest battery maker? Well, BYD of coarse.. I bet if you have a cellphone or a mp3 player, you have one of BYD's products.
The company is getting into the auto electric car world, a move that only a few years ago would have seemed illogical, but now that the future will probably go to plug-in hybrids and electric cars, being good with batteries has become a key expertise to have when making cars.
BYD's first plug-in hybrid for the Chinese market will be the F6DM mid-sized sedan in the second half of 2008. Top speed should be 100 mph (160 kph), with a range of 62 miles (100 km) in all-electric mode and 267 miles (430 km) total after the gas engine kicks in. A fully electric version called the F6E is planned for 2009.
F6 is the name of the sedan, "DM" is for Dual Mode hybrid, and "E" is for Electric.
It's the lithium iron phosphate battery that makes the F6DM and F6E special. The lithium iron phosphate battery is said to be safer, less expensive, without heavy metals, completely recyclable and should be rechargeable to 70% in 10-minute at special charging stations. It can also be recharged more slowly with a home charging station, of course.
It looks like BYD will beat GM's Volt as the first production plug-in hybrid, but for know they will remain in China for an undetermined time for testing and reliability purposes.
GM's teaser campaign - or not on the new VOLT Electric Car. (posted Nov. 1, 2008)
"They were posted on a GM site inadvertently," said GM spokesman Terry Rhadigan. "We immediately pulled them back, but it was too late."
It seems that GM made an error in releasing new pictures of the new Volt production car.
Some say it's a ploy to tease potencial buyers for this new technologically advanced electric car when it's released in the near future.
A lithium ion battery pack will power to the electric motors that propel the car, which can be plugged into an outlet and charged overnight. GM's stated goal is to provide a 40-mile operating range on a full charge.
Supplementing the battery is a small gasoline engine that is not connected to the drivetrain in any way. When the battery charge is exhausted, the engine will act as a generator that supplies power to the battery, allowing the car to continue operation well beyond its electric-only range. Basically, its a series hybrid setup, though GM promotes it as a renge-extended electric car.
As for price, the Volt is expected to carry a price tag of around $40,000.
Daimler, RWE to Roll out Electric Cars in Berlin (posted Oct. 12, 2008)
German carmaker Daimler is joining forces with RWE, one of the country's largest energy providers, to create a network of electric cars and charging stations in Berlin.
A select group of Berlin motorists will get subsidized electric cars as part of an experiment launched Friday, Sept 5 by Daimler and leading German energy company, RWE.
The carmaker is to supply 100 cars powered by lithium-ion batteries. The cars will mostly be from its Smart car models and will have a range of about 100 kilometres from a single charge. They cannot be recharged from an ordinary power socket.
RWE is to set up 500 special charging sites (supply points) at owners' homes, workplaces and in car parks and shopping centres. Owners will be automatically billed for recharging, similar to the way they pay mobile phone bills.
Biggest in the world
The Berlin scheme is the second electric car test project initiated by Daimler, after electric Smart cars started a trial as fleet vehicles for the police and other services in London last year.
Dubbed “e-mobility Berlin, ” the scheme will be the largest of its kind in the world and is set to start by 2010, the two companies said in a statement. “The initiative embraces all components of efficient use of battery-powered vehicles – from modern, innovative drive technology to customer-friendly infrastructure,” the statement said.
At the launch of the project, Chancellor Angela Merkel, who is a physicist, was gently critical, saying, "One hundred cars is not that many for 500 supply points." But she also forecast that electric cars "will prevail sooner than people think."
Other critics said it will take six hours connected to the electricity network to fully recharge a lithium-ion car battery, though two hours is enough to achieve two thirds of a recharge.
Sustainable travel?
The cars cannot make long out-of-town journeys because of their limited range. But the German government is supporting the scheme because of its contribution to sustainable travel, the companies said.
“Our mobility concept sets up an integrated solution that combines everyday electric cars and a charging system built to suit them,” said Daimler head Dieter Zetsche. “This way we're improving the customer friendliness and usability of electric cars.”
