Nerva Exe, a maxi electric scooter designed to be able to leave the city. Has this segment’s turn come?
The sustainable mobility market continues to increase its commitment over the months. The improvement in performance and the greater competitiveness of this type of product is causing an increasing number of purely electrical proposals. One of the segments that is living the most the transition to a greener environment It’s the one with the scooters. Now, why are the larger variants the ones that can develop more advanced proposals?
The maxi scooter product became fashionable a few years ago. The combination of outstanding dynamic performance with an above-average size for this industry seemed to have a die-hard following. Time has only consolidated this theory. For this reason, it is currently possible to enjoy the Yamaha Tmax, among many other examples. What could be, for example, its counterpart in an electric version? The Nerve Exe could stand as a serious competitor.
It is a product that has a greater use than a scooter or moped designed exclusively for the city. After all, being able to circulate less than a hundred kilometers with each charge cycle limits its possibilities of use too much. This type of motorcycle allows make trips outside the urban area to traverse areas at a certain distance. The Nerva Exe comes to represent this new philosophy that may prevail in the market in the coming years.
With a design very close to what we could see in the conventional internal combustion segment, this proposal comes to modify, only, the mechanics that propels it. For this reason, broadly speaking, it will only be differentiated from the others by the provision of a technology without an exhaust pipe. For the rest, we will only realize when we start the march, since we are facing a completely silent product.
Let us see, therefore, what are the main features of this technology, why it is an innovative product and, of course, to what extent we are facing a model that can serve to accelerate the transition in the maxi scooter segment.
A maxi scooter designed to fill a gap that is still empty
Taking a quick look at the market, the truth is that there is not a wide variety of electric alternatives in the maxi scooter product. This makes the Nerva Exe a motorcycle with multiple possibilities in the medium term. Well, what does this particular model offer? The first thing that catches your eye is his top speed, since it will reach 125 km/h. In this way, it will allow you to circulate in total safety on all the roads present outside the urban area.
In addition, we are facing a model that will have a great performance, also, on urban roads. So much so that its acceleration to 50 km/h is 4.5 seconds. To achieve 80 km/h it will take 10.5 seconds. These are indicative to understand how it offers a differential performance in the first meters. However, their circulation outside the city is guaranteed, despite the fact that this has implications for the resulting autonomy.
Among its main handicaps is, without a doubt, the weight. Although its maneuverability is quite acceptable, it should be noted that its weight is 202 kilograms. This is so due, of course, to the incredible battery that it incorporates. Ultimately, it has a total capacity of 5.76 kWh distributed in 2 teams of equal amount. Despite being its main Achilles heel, it is what allows it to travel many kilometers with each full charge cycle.
Manufactured by BYD, one of the most prominent manufacturers in mobility
It is important to take into account what are some of the hallmarks in terms of dynamics. It has up to 3 driving modes; ECO, Normal and Sport. In relation to its use, the autonomy will be noticeably modified. While with the ECO mode you can perform up to a maximum of 150 kilometers in combined driving, with Sport mode you can only reach the figure of 75 kilometers. As you can see, these are very diverse registers depending on what the grip is gripped.
Another distinction of this technology is the presence of a battery with a different composition to the classic lithium ion. On this occasion, it has been decided to incorporate some LiFePO4. In this way, despite being more voluminous, as can be read on the specialized portal Electrek, greater durability is achieved because they are more resistant. In addition, they guarantee to be able to carry out more than 6,000 load cycles.
Well, do you think the turn to the bulkier scooter segment? We will have to wait a while to see if this technology has a place in the sector or if, on the contrary, we are faced with a product capable of leading the ecological transition in the 2-wheel market.
