Raht Racer - Pedal Powered Electric Car

Post by chandoo » Mar 11, 2015 Views: 1743



Raht Racer is new electric car that has pedals that can be used for charging the electric motor while traveling forward on road. The idea is pretty unique and is comprised of some amazing environment-friendly approaches.



The velomobile/trike has been created from carbon fiber material and consists of a number of safety features, such as airbags, roll cage along with seat belts. In order to make uphill rides comfortable and less tiresome, the trike supports pedal powered assistance. This assistance is being provided by 9.2kWh Li-ion battery pack electric motor. The motor can determine how much torque is being provided by the rider and can automatically make up for the remaining torque by using the pedal assistance.



As per the company, once the Raht Racer is complete, it can manage a stop speed of 100 mph. Although it is not road legal yet, it will be tackling this hurdle soon and shall be termed as a motorbike once it gets the approval. It will be priced at somewhere between $35,000 and $45,000.
