The R70 folding moped is driven by an electric motor powered by a Lithium Ion battery. The maximum speed is 40 km/h; its range 50 km measured in realistic conditions of use. The R70 weighs 36,2 kg (including the battery) but, in order to lift the moped more easily, its weight can be reduced to only 24,7 kg simply by removing the battery, which takes only one second. The Battery takes about 4 hours to fully charge. The advantages of R70 are evident: · Its traction by electric motor is much more simple than that of mopeds powered by internal combustion engines. Therefore mod. R70 needs only very small maintenance. This is very important especially if the moped is used for professional purposes. · Its use is very simple also for persons who usually do not drive two wheel vehicles. · It does not produce any bad smell and it has not overheating elements which could disturb people or damage the place where the moped is stored when folded. · In several countries, the authorities offer fiscal advantages and financing when purchasing electric vehicles. · Often, the electric vehicles can be driven in area which are closed to the normal motorized traffic.
