NEW: folding electric scooter by Di Blasi

The mod R70 folding moped is powered by an electric motor powered by a battery. The maximum speed is 40 km/h; its range 62 km measured in realistic condition of use.

The frame of mod. R70 takes advantage of the experience made with the production of all the models produced since 1974. Its basic structure is still made as articulated quadrilaterals linked each other. This structure distinguish all DI BLASI vehicles and allows their folding and unfolding in a very easy and a very quick way. However in the mod. R70 this structure is completed by a new (patented) mechanism which allows, when folding the moped, to pull back the front fork automatically. Therefore this mechanism allows, on the one hand, to reduce the sizes of the folded moped to only 69 x 36 x 63(h) cm, on the other hand to increase the length of the unfolded moped (wheelbase 97,5 cm). This last feature increases ride comfort and stability of the moped.

The mass of mod. R70 is 36,2 kg (including the battery) but, in order to lift the moped more easily, its mass can be reduced to only 24,7 kg simply by removing the battery, which takes only one second.

The battery LiFePO4 which equips the mod. R70 is the best battery which the today technology offers for electric traction purposes. It is the most expensive element of the moped and therefore it is right to give about it some more information.
