The dreiraedrige MP3-Hybridroller is a technical bitebite bites, which Piaggio as well as engineers of the University of Pisa developed. By push of a button in the cockpit different driving modes can be selected: When accelerating and quick driving the 125 cubic centimeters large combustion engine and an electric motor co-operate. The electric drive ensures for the fact that acceleration from the conditions is better around 85 per cent than with a conventional scooter. If the driver wants into the city center of Rome, Florenz or London, which are occasionally closed for vehicles with combustion engines, it turns the switch on E for electrical. Then the dreiraedrige wasp up to 20 schnurrt kilometers far with a speed of 45 kilometers per hour by the roads. To the comparison: The Prius, the much-praised hybrid car of Toyota, rolls electrically maximally three kilometers far. The Piaggio electric motor is fed by modern lithium ion batteries under the seat, those the texanische enterprise Valence Technology supply. "the battery is smaller around half, weighs 70 per cent less and has a six times higher life span than conventional nickel metal hydride batteries", promises Daniele Bandiera, chief engineer with Piaggio. If the driver brakes or if it releases the gas grasp, those is used freely becoming energy, in order to charge the battery. The thought out energy management disburses itself at the gas station: "we have with an operating cycle of two thirds hybrid and a third electrical work a consumption of 1,6 litres gasoline per 100 kilometers", say Bandiera. The Clou: If the charge of the batteries is not sufficient, the tricycle comes at home in the garage simply to the plug socket. After at the latest three hours load time is again full the battery.
