Vmoto introduces the new technology that will complete the offering in the range
During the international press conference, a prototype of a new fast charging battery was unveiled. At the venue of Misano World Circuit, in Misano Adriatico (Italy), the Australian group organized a comparative test between EV and ICEV to show how electric vehicles are ready and mature products for urban mobility.
Misano Adriatico, 24th July 2024 – Vmoto Limited, the global company specializing in the production of high-quality electric two-wheel vehicles, characterized by unique and innovative design, have presented the prototype of a new Superfast charging battery. The new battery is smaller and lighter than the standard version used in the Vmoto range and it’s able to cut significantly the charging time: from 0 to 80% in only 30 min. These innovation increases the offer of Vmoto solutions for urban mobility as the new fast-charging and the speed battery both will remain in production. That’s to say the same scooter will have the two different solutions and customers can choose which battery better fits according to their needs. The new fast-charging can help the B2B clients to cut the stopped-motorcycles time in the delivery market or heavy users, the speed battery already used in the range will remain the solution for daily use.
The unveiling of the prototype saw the presence of Jorge Lorenzo, 5 times MotoGP and Global Testimonial Vmoto and of Dario Marchetti, Vmoto World Ambassador and the final version will be presented at EICMA 2024.
