This is a high-capacity 1 kW electric bicycle battery. Even without sunshine or pedalling, you can cover 70 km on a flat road with the Tamagoto single-seater. It’s lightweight, removable and recharges from an ordinary power socket.
An average electric car uses 50 times as much capacity, and it will take 50 years, depending on global production capacity, to make them available to every user on the planet.
A study of the chassis of the future model of 4-seater solar car. Each occupant will be able to operate a linear pedal system.
A structure made of large tubes with numerous reinforcements that provides the same rigidity for three times less weight than an ordinary city car body. The same type of structure will be used on the single-seater produced.
The total weight of the 4-seater will be 160 kg, with many other components, including the engine, at least 10 times lighter than current standard vehicles.
In Tamagoto’s solar cars, most of the weight is therefore devoted to your safety, and there are no heavy components such as the engine or a massive running gear that add to the inertia and therefore the vulnerability of the whole.
