Scarpar e-PSB model X 3.0 kW
So you are looking for a buzz and want plenty of power under-foot? You will be wanting our model X product. Steep (10-15 degrees) ascents and descents are possible with a massive 14Nm of torque. The electric system doesn't have to built up to 'band' to have full torque like a combustion engine. With an electric system, you have 100% of your torque available from the time you first squeeze the trigger!
A top speed of 32mph / 50kmh means you will need to wear a helmet and body armour all the time. Designed for manufacture from the ground up by EDAG it includes wireless acceleration / braking, and has a 2kWh battery pack to give you plenty of run-time. It includes the Scarpar e-PSB X 3-0, battery and charger.
Vehicles will be first shipped in December 2011. Vehicle design will be refined and the specification is subject to some change.

We use PayPal for these transactions and will hold the deposits until we are ready to ship and you have paid the balance.
