Would you go to study or work in a kind of tilting electric tricycle? This is exactly what a German company is proposing. This is the Lastkraftflitzer.
The arrival of electrical mechanics has caused more and more people who are willing to buy battery-based products. In addition, due to its simplicity in terms of technology, it is very easy to insert different bodies to the usual ones. That is why, today, you can see purely electric scooters, cars or bicycles.
Under this new context, the truth is that curious proposals are beginning to appear that stand out from all of the above. The best example of this is shown by the electric bike with a tank to load all kinds of products. However, today we want to show you a new alternative that could be a hit in the market for years to come.
Lastkraftflitzer, this is the name of the means of transport that we want to teach you at Urban Tecno. It is nothing more and nothing less than a kind of tricycle that, however, has a total of 4 wheels. As you may have guessed, it comes from Germany. More specifically, it has been produced by the ZF Friedrichshafen company. Lastkraftflitzer, at the same time, means ‘fast truck’.
Well, are we at the beginning of what could be a revolutionary project within the electricity segment? We are facing a variant that attracts attention, without a doubt, for enjoying a unique proposal. It draws attention for a series of qualities that make it a variant that will attract all eyes over the next few months.
Let’s see, therefore, why this particular model can be a benchmark in the market, what is the possible target audience to take into account and, of course, to what extent this alternative can play a role fundamental in sustainable mobility. Can you imagine being able to circulate in your conventional vehicle and come across one of these? Here are the keys to its creation.
Lastkraftflitzer, an alternative means of transport without emissions
The first thing that should be noted is that this is not a product that stands out, above all, for having a high-performance engine. In fact, its electrical block is capable of developing a maximum power of 4 kW. This will allow you to effortlessly reach 45 km / h, a record that allows us to understand that we are facing an option whose key is related to traffic in the city.
Its main quality is the arrangement of its hydraulic system in turns. Curiously, the LED lights that it incorporates do not follow the turning angle, but remain fixed in order to improve visibility in front of other users. This is undoubtedly one of the best examples that serve to explain why we are faced with a great balancing system in a product of these characteristics.
It is a product that is designed to the millimeter for its commercialization. In fact, it has a whole series of technologies and security systems that will allow it, despite attracting all eyes, to be parked on public roads. Among the differential components, it is worth highlighting the provision of a variant capable of blocking the balancing system or enjoy your own anti-theft system.
In fact, there are 2 types of braking, which can be used to perform the above function. The front end is dominated by a set of disc brakes, while on the rear axle you enjoy a brake specially designed to affect to the engine block. All this, working together, is what allows this technology to be a great reference in security.
A commercial product that could be a hit in the near future
The availability of this technology in the market is not simple, since it usually requires obtaining a series of technical approvals. Be that as it may, if the necessary permits can be obtained, the truth is that you cannot still have information regarding its price or disposition facing the public. Even so, its design can help other manufacturers to dare with a curiously differential bet.
Taking into account the characteristics that are known, the most logical thing would be to think that it is a purely urban means of transport. Although the conception of balancing seems to be quite advanced, it is in the urban area where its potential can be most extracted. This conception has been seen other times in the scooter market electric, but not in one of these characteristics.
We will have to wait, therefore, to see if it is finally marketed or if, on the contrary, these units end up as simple pre-manufacturing prototypes. And you, would you buy a product with these characteristics? Without a doubt, it seems like an option that leaves no one indifferent.
