Foldable electrified ultralight vehicles as key component for sustainable traffic chains

Foldable ultralight electric vehicles (E-ULV) are a promising key component for future sustainable traffic chains for urban regions with mountainous topography. While typical E-Bikes are hard to use in the rush-hour of metropolitan public transport association vehicles, these - actually not available - E-ULV are a real innovation for the “last miles”. This paper presents electric drive add-on kits for foldable scooters and very light foldable bikes as well as their possible cost in case of a market launch. The E-ULV had been tested in small fleets on public roads and turned out shift car kilometers to the public transport system effectively.
