3 Brave People Pushing The Limits Of Their Tiny EVs
Vehicle: Bee 1500 Moped .
The trip, though a success, did show the limitations of e-mopeds, as the 3.6 kWh one started running out of capacity just one kilometer shy of the highest part of the road . Paradoxically, the moped with 1.4 kWh capacity was able to arrive in Bogota with the 2.2 kWh spare , while the 3.6 kWh one couldn’t, and required its spare battery as well. On average, the two Bee 1500s were able to get some 35 km/kWh, an impressive result given the stiff climb they faced.
Melgar is located near Girardot, at nearly the same altitude , but 30 km closer to Bogota. Unlike the Bee 1500, the Zhidou D2S does have regenerative braking, which allowed it to finish the 107 km ride with 80% battery thanks to the altitude difference between Bogota and Melgar. Regardless, it’s a popular vehicle and was used by some cab owners and rental companies, granting decent sales while it lasted. And one of its owners decided to try it on a 412 km trip from Bogota down into the Magdalena Valley and up to Medellin.
