To increase comfort even in winter Malaguti now offers the new roof on the BLOG 125-160 , a new way of experiencing the concept of the second auto.
Born to a specific request of the Japanese market, the new roof of the blog has now attracted great interest in the European market because it is the most practical and economical to turn the scooter in a vehicle that offers shelter from bad weather and cold without neglecting the comfort and convenience of mounting the windshield is attached to a hull additional locked the front shield with 6 screws.
The wraparound windshield is offering adequate protection from air and rain. Among its features are the high transparency and specialetrattamento scratch. It can mount an optional wiper activated by a switch on the new hull. The connection is ensured by the use of two current tap and a simple wiring diagram.
The roof is made of fiberglass and is supported by two aluminum tubes, accompanied by a pair of bumpers, attached to a metal handle anchored directly to the rear of the scooter. This application allows for easy assembly of the 30-liter trunk.
scooter you ride always with the helmet but with the advantage that there will be no fogging of the visor and the drops that hinder your view.
Almost every day, springing up like mushrooms ideas and prototypes for more or less likely, the intent of the designers, to replace the car least in urban centers.
Commendable is the intent and appreciated that any attempt shows, however, what is now the frantic rush to free ourselves from slavery town on four wheels.
Sembra oramai che il progetto tre ruote possa costituire la base per ogni realizzazione d’avanguardia, vuoi per la strada aperta dalla Piaggio con l’MP3 che ha convinto i costruttori della bontà dell’idea, vuoi per le caratteristiche del telaio del tre ruote che si prestano, molto più che le due ruote, ad ospitare una culla coperta oppure un abitacolo che possa almeno parzialmente sostituire quello dell’automobile .
Tra le novità che sembrano avere una certa rilevanza costruttiva e progettuale, segnaliamo il TTW One , nome provvisorio for this project that saw the birth within the Politecnico di Torino and aims, in the intentions of its inventor Stefano Carabelli, as the forerunner of a new set of vehicles identified as PCV (Personal Commuting Vehicle ) designed to give a substantial shift to the concept of urban mobility.
This is a prototype one-meter wide and a little more along with the interior space for driver and passenger and seeks to combine agility and maneuverability of the typical two-wheeler with the comfort of an automobile passenger compartment, (practically utopian dream of every one of us!).
Then three wheels can fold (like MP3), two-seat, closed cockpit and a cell hybrid engine that can push even at considerable speed.
Excellent speech passive safety, with the closed cell to prevent strokes and tilt to protect the occupants (such as BMW C1), while for the active, wheel drive and ability to bend at 45 degrees combined with brakes make it a highly respected among the safest vehicle.
Given the protectiveness, driving with only one license B and without the use of the helmet (but with the belts , again as the BMW C1).
Despite the hybrid reduces fuel consumption and emissions, still retains an acceleration from a standing greater than a maxi and a top speed electronically limited to well 180 km / h .
TTW One is equipped with a parallel-type hybrid-electric powertrain: the gasoline engine while the rear moves two electric motors are directly placed in the front wheels.
combustion engine has a displacement of 850 cc . and, if combined with two electric motors, allows you to travel 100 km with just over two gallons of fuel or cover a distance of 25 km - the average distance between home and work - zero emissions, making the electric propulsion alone.
Conclusions
undoubtedly more "stylish" and attractive compared to other works (made in Italy can be seen, and how!), Is definitely a project to watch, even if it seems to me just raise a few reservations about all'ingombro that in order to sit the two occupants side by side, must be forcefully that much more pronounced in the larger scooters (the manufacturer claims a meter!), thereby minimizing handling and agility in the queues and traffic lights.
Can I get half the protection you want, but if I tag along cars at traffic lights because I can not sneak in the ranks, or if I can not overtake the column keeping me by the center line, then I buy a Smart car and I enjoy the benefits of a real cockpit!
Another objection I would raise on price (currently unknown), with which will be marketed.
Given the technological solutions, (I think only two of the three electric motors), surely reach a sale price much closer to that of a car rather than that of a scooter, and at this point the dilemma recurs: then I buy a car and will also encourage out of town!
That said, however, still applaud the initiative (and inventive!) And wait for further developments. . . and you? what you think about it?
