If you want to move forward on the road, it is coupled to a bottom module, this means you will be put on a kind of suspension. This is 3,12 meters long and 68 centimeters high. The two rear wheels include hub motors with 60 kW (82 HP). The range is 130-kilometres is specified, the maximum speed is 100 km/h.
