Quadricycles, bikes, scooters, chargers... Everything that Automobile shows beyond cars

Under the slogan Electrifying, the Automobile Barcelona 2023 adapts to the new times to offer visitors a sample of the new sustainable mobility for which the automotive industry has decidedly committed. Without giving up any type of motorization, the motor show exhibits cars from more than 30 brands so that visitors can see first-hand the latest developments. To make the experience more immersive, the organization once again has a 'pit' area where visitors can test drive the cars on display at the stands.

In halls 1, 3 and 8, where the cars are exhibited, visitors will be able to find other vehicles and accessories that will accompany them throughout the journey. Quadricycles, motorcycles, bicycles, scooters, chargers, etc. They form part of a parallel universe that contributes to making the visit more enjoyable and that serves to show other products that go far beyond cars.

Ligier exhibits a series of light electric quadricycles at its stand, which are popularly known as cars without a license. It really is not like that, because to drive them a driving license is required, the AM, which is the same one that is required for moped drivers. Despite its tiny dimensions, the Ligier L6 is offered with four types of equipment and a range of up to 192 km.

The premium version is very well equipped. It has power steering, air conditioning, multimedia equipment, heated seats and sports tires. In addition, all the quadricycles of the French manufacturer are offered with 4 disc brakes, tubular aluminum chassis, reinforced doors, front and rear heated window, and tinted windows.

The Centro stand does not go unnoticed by visitors since the proposal it presents draws attention. This is the Teemak, a small electric SUV, which has been designed by the American manufacturer to meet the needs of farmers and other workers. It has a load capacity of 1,000 kg and a range of 75 km, enough to face small tours of farms.

A Fiat 500 is the advertising claim of Hi Cream in Hall 8 of the Fira de Barcelona. The small utility of the Italian brand serves as a showcase to promote the ice creams that are offered to the visitors of the Automobile. A good way to sweeten the journey between the cars and other vehicles on display in the show.

The Spanish startup of electric car chargers listed on the New York Stock Exchange also has a prominent place in the Automobile. Its new Supernova 150 charger stands out above all, an efficient 150 kWh public charging solution that can add up to 100 km of autonomy in just 7 minutes.

Since it was launched on the market just over a year ago, Supernova 150 has already become a world benchmark in charging and energy management solutions with more than a thousand units sold worldwide. One of the peculiarities of this charger is that it can provide electricity to two cars at the same time.

Yadea exposes a curious pedal-assisted bicycle with the appearance of a moped. The disruptive design of the Trooper 01 from the Asian giant of electric motorcycles focuses the attention of visitors. The 'motorcycle' is equipped with a 250W power motor and has a removable 960 Wh lithium battery to be able to recharge anywhere. The autonomy of this bicycle in eco mode is 120 km and the speed is limited to 25 km/h.

With the summer holidays on the horizon, proposals such as the one offered by Nissan with its Primastar model have become a priority option for many families. The Japanese manufacturer's van combines efficiency with a spacious cabin to carry up to 9 people and their belongings with maximum comfort. Depending on the options chosen, the Primastar is offered with a fridge, gas cooker, sink, louvered cabinets and shower.

As part of its firm commitment to sustainable mobility, Seat has diversified its offer and for the last three years has also offered motorcycles and electric scooters. It does so through Seat Mó, its new urban mobility brand, which includes a line of motorcycles and electric scooters also present in Automobile.

Although Seat's range of scooters and scooters was exhibited at the Motoh! Barcelona, ​​which closed its doors on May 14, visitors to the Automobile still have the opportunity to see these electric vehicles up close at Seat's stand in Hall 8.

Among the vehicles exhibited by Invicta, two bicycles with a retro aesthetic stand out, the Rayvolt Clubman and the Rayvolt Cruzer. The two e-bikes combine a sporty, urban look with a refined vintage style. Both offer a power of 250w and a maximum speed of 25 km/h. The autonomy of the Clubman ranges between 40 and 60 km, while the Cruzer extends it to a range of between 60 and 80 km.

Verge is a Finnish electric motorcycle manufacturer that is surprising with the daring of its frames. When contemplating the Verge TS Pro that it exhibits in the Automobile, its rear wheel stands out since it does not have a hub. It is precisely in the rear wheel where the electric motor is integrated, which allows a larger battery to be incorporated and gives the motorcycle greater autonomy. The TS Pro's engine develops a power of 102 kW/137 hp and offers a range of 350 km with a charging time of just 35 minutes.
