Vigoz: French Startup Cixi Unveils Innovative 120 km/h Electric Three-Wheeler
A new three-wheeled electric vehicle, the Vigoz, is set to enter production, promising to redefine urban and micromobility. Developed by the French startup Cixi, based in the Haute-Savoie region, the Vigoz uniquely combines pedal power with electric traction. This innovative design positions it distinctly between traditional bicycles and microcars, offering a compelling solution for modern transportation challenges. "It's not a bike, and it's not a car; it's practically unprecedented," stated a representative from Typo Media, highlighting the vehicle's novel approach. The Vigoz features a sophisticated chainless and beltless system that efficiently transforms human pedal movement into electrical energy, powering its motor. Drivers operate the vehicle from a reclined position within a fully enclosed cabin, utilizing intuitive lateral controls. A standout safety and performance feature is its automatic tilting mechanism, which allows the vehicle to lean into turns, providing enhanced stability and a driving experience comparable to a motorcycle. The robust frame is specifically engineered to absorb impacts, further ensuring passenger safety. With a 22 kWh battery, the Vigoz offers an impressive range of up to 160 kilometers on a single charge. It boasts a maximum speed of 120 km/h, making it suitable for both urban commuting and longer distances. The vehicle also includes practical amenities such as space for a passenger and luggage, complete with safety belts. Following successful high-speed tests, Cixi is currently navigating the certification process, a crucial step before the Vigoz can be brought to market. This development marks a significant stride in sustainable and efficient personal transport.
