In this Hybrid vehicle context, Schaeffl er has developed an innovative modular system for electric axles in various confi gurations and build levels.

Bio hybrid The innovative and compact mobility solution for urban areas not only provides weather protection but, featuring four wheels including an electric pedelec drive, high driving stability and ample stowage space. In spring of 2016, Schaeffl er unveiled this design and development concept that met with positive response around the globe.

E-board In addition to its handy dimensions, this ideal means of transportation for short Race track >>> Road distances in urban areas boasts hydraulic brakes and a range of 25 kilometers. At CES in Las Vegas in January 2017, Schaeffl er showcased this prototype. Integrated in the board is a battery that drives the rear axle via an electric motor. The e-board An electric circuit is controlled using a stick with an ergonomically shaped handle.
