Tamagoto

the solar car for everyday use

A range of ultra-lightweight, sturdy solar-powered cars with pedals that let you express your energy while you're on the move.

  • Single seater:
  • 1200w motor. Battery 1kw/h
  • Speed 45km/h
  • Range 70km (2 to 3 times longer in sunny weather and/or when using the pedals)
  • Weight 95kg length 2.95m height 1.08m width 1.10m
  • Spring and shock absorber suspension at the front, air suspension at the rear.
  • 4-seater model planned:
  • Motor 2300w speed 45km/h
  • Range 70km (2 to 3 times longer in sunny weather and/or when using the pedals)
  • Weight 160kg Length 4.05m Height 1.15m Width 1.84m
  • Spring and shock absorber suspension at the front, air suspension at the rear

The concept: 4 principles

  1. Large solar surface area.
  2. Lightweight and aerodynamic.
  3. Solid, protective bodywork.
  4. Optimised and optional use of your own energy.

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.

4-seater concept

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.
