Electric vehicles for the urban environment on display at Eicma
Many news related to electricity aimed above all at the urban environment with also some historic brands that are dealing with the future of mobility for the first time.While some models are already available on the market, others will have to wait a few months.
This is the case for example of the Japanese brand Honda which unveils two electric concepts, Fun Concept - The the brand's first zero-emission sports model – with an essential design that should offer a range of more than 100 km and EV Urban Concept designed for traveling around the city. It is already on the market Cuv e, a scooter that allows you to reach a maximum speed of 83 km/h with a range of over 70 kilometres.
Platum launches the E-Moped 500 at Eicma, lo L3 electric scooter created in collaboration with Stellantis, designed by Pininfarina with the contribution of the Fiat Style Center which pays homage to the 500 with this design.A zero-emission vehicle designed for urban micromobility with a range of 115 kilometers and a maximum speed of 80 km/h.The battery is located under the footboard to leave room for two helmets under the saddle (cost around 5,000 euros).
Royal Enfield and Zero Motorcycles
Royal Enfield presents an electric brand at Eicma that pays homage to the Flying Flea model, of which the first vehicles will be available in 2026.One of the oldest motorcycle brands, which has been operating for over 120 years, looks ahead and therefore enters the universe of electric motorcycles. The name Flyng Flea originates from the motorcycle of the same name produced by Royal Enfield in the 1940s:designed to be parachuted into war territory, it was characterized by its lightness and agility.This spirit wants to relive today in the new brand.
The first model in the Flying Flea range is called FF-C6 and has a "retro-futuristic" design with a fork and frame in forged aluminum, light and resistant, while the magnesium battery housing reduces weight and improves cooling.
At the stand Zero Motorcycle we find Neutrino, one of the six products that the brand wants to launch in the next two years aiming at a price less than 10,000 euros.Neutrino is one concept bike created to offer new opportunities, making products of this kind more accessible in terms of costs, to therefore interact with a new target.
The presence of e-bikes is decreasing at Eicma 2024

City and cargo e-bikes designed for urban commuting are also those of Platum that wants to combine style and functionality.
