ErokIT

The eROCKIT is a light electric motorcycle that is operated like a bicycle. Thus, there is a new breed of car. In contrast to a pedelec there is no direct connection from the pedals to the rear wheel.

Construction, distribution and regulatory

To drive the eROCKIT you step on the pedals. Pressure on the foot controls the velocity. A toothed belt transmits the pedal rotation to a generator, which generates a control voltage for the computer. The computer controls the power delivered to the electric motor. The electric motor transmits the force via a toothed belt of up to 75 Nm to the rear wheel. If you want to slow down you will cease to occur. By an engine brake, the braking energy is fed back into the battery. The eROCKIT is each equipped with a front disc brake and rear. The range of a single charge, depending on usage at 50 to 70 km. The vehicle has 3 speed levels, which limit the attainable speed. They ensure the safety and help in saving electrical energy. Level 1 allows up to 30 km / h level 2 around 60 km / h and stage 3, the maximum top speed of 80 km / h The charging of the batteries from a standard 230 - volt outlet is completed after about 3-3.5 hours.

The eROCKIT was developed by the Berlin-based Austrian Stefan Gulas, who sells the bicycle directly or through dealers. Since the vehicle is registered as a light motorcycle on road traffic, to driving an A1 license is required or old class 3 drivers license.

Small-scale production

2013 began producing small lots of eRockit after the founding of a small factory operation in Berlin -Marzahn with ten employees.
