City Transformer: Compact E-vehicle for the city-e-vehicle

With the Microlino on the IAA 2021 we have seen that not only E-cars, but also electric vehicles play an important role for the mobility of the future. In addition to the Swiss Stromer, an Israeli start-up with the foldable E-vehicle City Transformer was also represented. Their electric vehicle also wants to reduce the place and parking problems in big cities. With a very special trick.

Because the City Transformer it is possible to fold your own body to a width of one meter, usually it is 1.4 meters. The vehicle is powered by a 7.5 kW electric motor on the two rear wheels. This allows the City Transformer to achieve a maximum speed of 90 km / h – in folding mode 40 km / h, at an estimated range of 180 km. Introduced within the city from 0 to 50 km / h in 5 seconds. If the battery is correspondingly empty, this loads on fast load options in 30 minutes to 80 percent. On the Schukosteckdose at home, however, he needs four to six hours.

We have already seen similar technical data from Triggo from Poland. In road mode, this 148 centimeter is wide and also up to 90 km / h. In the so-called maneuvier mode, in which the pace is throttled to 25 km / h, the distance between the front wheels shrinks by almost half to 86 centimeters and thus the turning circle on only 3.5 meters.

Back to the City Transformer, whose turning circle is given at 8.5 meters. However, it is certainly the fact that the CO2 footprint of the vehicle is kept possible low. So the E vehicle only consists of 1.500 parts. A classic burner brings it up to 25.000. Thanks to built airbags, the City Transformer count to the safest vehicles of the electric lightweight class L7E, the manufacturer.

According to the project manager since this year, the City Transformer is ripe for serial production. After the official presentation at the IAA 2021, the official EU approval in the L7E class should now be achieved. 2022 then a small series production is provided before the year later, in cooperation with contract finishes, start the mass production to operate from 2024 in the broad private clients.

The vehicle can already be pre-ordered today. However, as a future driver of the vehicle, one has only the choice in color: white, gray, blue and red. The rest is the same for all models. Currently the price for pre-ordering is 12.500 euros instead of the later planned 16.000 EURO. For the pre-order refundable 150 Euro deposit is called. The environmental bonus / purchase bonus for E-cars does not intervene.
