New Zealand soldiers will switch to electric bikes
Electric bikes of the local company Ubco will go to the Ministry of Defense of the country. It is assumed that the procedure for introducing the new transport will be completed by the end of this year.
At the moment, the military is testing a new vehicle. They verify that its specifications meet the requirements of the field. Safety of movement remains an important aspect: the use of protective equipment, including special helmets.
Ubco's weight is small - only 65 kg. But at the same time, the device is declared as all-wheel drive - both front and rear wheels are leading. On one battery charge, the bike can cover 120 km.
The test model was received in camouflage livery with the necessary set of parts and batteries.
The end of testing bikes will last until the end of the year in all branches of the country's armed forces. And only after their completion, the department will report on its decision.
Recently, BMW and Bosch announced that they would begin mass production of motorcycles equipped with an updated cruise control system. It will help control distance and speed, as well as monitor deceleration and acceleration while driving.
