What would the electric moped of the future look like? The BREKR company has created a proposal that has various differential solutions. Here are the keys to the project.
In recent years, electrical technology has become one of the fastest growing technologies on the market. Greater social awareness, together with greater competitiveness of these solutions compared to conventional ones, has caused the sale of battery-based vehicles and electric motors has been triggered. This has also occurred in various segments.
One of the most prominent is that of motorcycles and mopeds. The provision of the maximum torque available from standstill, together with the traffic restrictions that are being imposed in urban centers, is causing the user to decide, more frequently, bet on sustainable mechanics. In this sense, we are facing a unique moment.
The electric moped segment is growing exponentially
At the same time, new companies are emerging that are naturally looking to jump on the electrification bandwagon. BREKR is a company of Dutch origin that aims to contribute to this transformation of the park. In addition, it intends to do so through very original proposals. This is possible due to the play that electrical technology brings to establish new designs.
This startup has opted to create a moped designed for exclusively urban circulation. It has also opted to offer a very basic product in terms of aesthetics. In dynamic terms, as you will see below, it is an alternative that is gaining points compared to the competition. Its technology is a benchmark that also provides the user with flexibility.
Let us see, therefore, what are the main qualities of the technology developed by BREKR, why we are faced with a moped that can mark a before and after in private mobility and, of course, to what extent there will be a variant that will allow reach autonomy peaks more typical of other vehicles. And you, would you buy an electric moped now?
An electric moped to travel the city very cheaply
The Model B, which is the name of the second creation developed by the company, stands out for the layout of a very simple image. In fact, a proposal of these characteristics has been used with the object of being a benchmark in number of pieces. If you look closely, even the seat seems to be mounted in the air! Even so, here is another series of news that is worth mentioning.
As can be read in the specialized portal Ride Apart, It is a proposal that stands out, above all, in autonomy. The key to this project is that you can choose with one or 2 sets of batteries. In this way, it is possible to double the available mileage cycle with just install a second removable drive. Well, why is it an option with little competition?
The autonomy of this BREKR model is about 150 theoretical kilometers
Current figures show how a unit is capable of offering up to a total of 80 kilometers of range with each full charge cycle. On a theoretical level, regardless of details such as weight gain, we would be enjoying an alternative with about 150 kilometers end. All this taking into account that its practically exclusive use is in the city!
It is a variant, therefore, designed to be plugged in, perhaps, once a week. Also, considering that the battery pack can be removed, its cost seems to pay off sooner rather than later. This is undoubtedly your main weapon to compete compared to other more expensive models and, of course, with the competition coming from the internal combustion sector.
Use of lightweight materials and bet on the latest technology
It is a product that stands out for the use of materials such as aluminum. The motor is 2500 W, which is enough to reach a maximum speed of about 45 km / h. It may seem like a reduced speed, but the truth is that its use is exclusively linked to a purely urban environment. This is the only way to achieve these autonomy figures.
On an aesthetic level, the strip that crosses the entire frame to the handlebar can be chosen in different shades. It is, therefore, a proposal that seeks to attract the attention of young audiences. Similarly, in relation to the battery set, a full charge takes about 5 hours charging to enjoy the maximum autonomy available.
There will be wait a while to see this proposal in the market. However, it is a variant that will have even more competition over the coming months, as other new manufacturers seek to gain a foothold in a market that must bet on electrical innovation.
