Bayk, A Company Based in Germany, Developed an Electric Tricycle That Offers 80 Km of Autonomy. The “Taxi” That Does Not Use Fuel Can Carry Up to 2 Passengers and Also Has Solar Panels on Its Hood

The German company Bayk developed a concept called CityCruiser, a taxi that uses pedals and was nicknamed by the company itself as velotaxi, which can be a great option for those who want to save money and contribute to the environment. The electric tricycle can transport up to two passengers and was designed to meet the high demands of electric mobility in major urban centers, especially in Europe. According to the company, the fuel-free vehicle is already spread across 50 countries and 120 cities worldwide.

Electric Tricycle Can Reach 25 Km/h

The tricycle that does not use fuel can ride on bike lanes or in areas with access for bicycles. According to Bayk, these tricycles are widely used in other countries. The CityCruiser is the latest model in Bayk’s vehicle line, a company with over 20 years of experience in the sector.

In all configurations, the electric tricycle provides assistance of up to 25 km/h, with a motor offering 10 kgfm of torque and 250 watts of power. The speed limit is restricted by software, so there is the possibility of exceeding the margin suggested by the company, although this action may damage components of the vehicle, which does not use fuel.

According to the German company, the vehicle can travel 80 km on a single charge, a sufficient range to make a trip around the city or take people to their daily destinations. The company also emphasizes that the charge duration may depend on the use of the pedal assist, geographical aspects such as wind, road surface, and temperature, as well as the motor level.

Fuel-Free Taxi Also Features Solar Panel

The model also has an additional solar panel on top, but the German company did not provide details on whether it is used for recharging. The vehicle’s transmission can have 3, 5, or 14 speeds, and the structure is made of eco-friendly polyethylene.

The fuel-free taxi can also carry up to 495 kilograms, including the cyclist and passengers, and 5m² in the body for sponsorships. According to the manufacturer, it is possible to start a fleet of velotáxis with about 20 vehicles. The electric tricycle with a dual motor and pedals costs around €9,990, which in direct conversion equals R$ 51,500. The fast chargers for the model cost around US$ 2,890, equivalent to R$ 14,900.

The vehicles are present in famous cities such as Tokyo, Kyoto, and Nagoya in Japan, Montpellier, Lille, and Nice in France, in addition to several locations in Germany. In France, the electric tricycle was licensed to the local company Happymoov.

Brazil Already Has Similar Initiatives

It is important to highlight that the idea of using tricycles as taxis is not new here. In the country, bike taxis, which do not have the bodywork and styling of the German company, operated in São Paulo through the Bikxi app at the end of 2010. However, the initiative did not take off, considering that São Paulo is a city with about 6.2 million vehicles, according to data from the State Department of Transit of the State of São Paulo (Detran – SP). The vehicle, at the time, was useful for those seeking to escape the city’s traffic.

At just 14 years old, a boy creates a system without energy, using steel pipes buried in the ground, that irrigates seedlings with moisture from the air, to combat the water scarcity threatening reforestation in northern China.

Where there was only sand and wind at 40 degrees, China built a megacity of 500,000 inhabitants with farms, wineries, and universities in the middle of the desert using melted glacier water from hundreds of kilometers away.

At over 8,800 meters above sea level, the summit of Mount Everest is made up of rocks that originated at the bottom of an ocean about 500 million years ago and were pushed to the highest point on Earth by the collision of tectonic plates.

A couple builds a system to bring water from the spring to their land, climbs a hill with materials on their backs, and creates a simple, cheap, and sustainable solution to ensure their own water supply.

The end of total solar eclipses has a deadline: the Moon is moving away from the Earth at about 3.8 cm per year, and in approximately 600 million years, it will no longer completely cover the Sun, ending one of the rarest coincidences in the Solar System.

With 40% of all the gold on the planet buried in a single geological basin that is 2.7 billion years old in South Africa, the Witwatersrand still hides R$ 3 trillion in unreachable reserves.

In the depths of the African forest, these rare and terrifying native species dominate rivers, swamps, and treetops with venom, brute strength, lethal teeth, and behaviors that seem impossible in the heart of the wild.

Rare frog thought to be extinct after only appearing in fossils reappears, becoming a ‘living relic’ of evolution and gaining a real path to spread after combating introduced predators.

Astronauts reveal that cities shine so brightly at night that they are visible from space as “artificial constellations,” while highways in the desert appear more than the Great Wall of China, which practically disappears when viewed from orbit.

With 55 floors, 177 meters in height, a 15-meter walkway between the twin towers, ventilated facade, and 6,300 m² of leisure space, Ápice Towers already has one tower completed and another nearly at the top.

A magnitude 9.2 earthquake in Alaska reshaped the coastline in minutes, sank entire cities, raised sections of the seabed by several meters, and left one of the fastest geographical transformations ever recorded on Earth.
