Scooter rykten - nya modeller

[tomas]

Kikade på den nya X-Max 250 på Yamahas hemsida. Innan -10 lanserades låg rekommenderat nypris för en -09 på 42.900:-. Nu är priset 45.900:- för en -09! En -10 ska kosta 49.900:-. En gammal modell har alltså blivit 3.000:- dyrare och den nya är totalt 7.000:- dyrare. Undrar hur de försvarar det. 

En ganska fet höjning, man får hoppas dom kanske stoppat i/med något för pengarna?

Verkar som det redan löst sig för Vexctrix och passande nog en batteri tillverkare som tar över.

Battery maker GP Batteries has bought New Vectrix and the Vectrix assets
November 20, 2:33 PMGreen Transportation ExaminerDavid Herron



As expected GP Batteries has purchased New Vectrix and certain Vectrix assets. As noted in earlier reporting (Vectrix is dead, long live the New Vectrix?) New Vectrix was formed by GH Ventures and GP Batteries. That earlier announcement described the intention that New Vectrix would buy the assets of Vectrix for a total purchase price of up to $5,056,000 (including cash payments and assumed liabilities), subject to an auction process and approval by the U.S. Bankruptcy court. GP Batteries have now announced the deal has been made. Following from the news last week from Hesketh Motors that they'd made an agreement to distribute and service Vectrix scooters (see: Is Hesketh Motors signaling the rebirth of Vectrix?) it appears the rebirth of Vectrix is underway.....mera

Som tidigare bekräftade rykten så kommer det ingen större Burgman nästa år, istället blir det en uppdaterad modell med ny växellåda med 7 växlar samt ny instrumentering.
Som det ser ut nu så blir priset 119 000.-, en ökning på 10 000:-.

Jag hade hellre sett en större Burgman, då många tillverkare har större maskiner på g.

Kul med infon men "skönt" på sätt och vis att dom inte kom med ny motor, hade inte haft råd att byta upp mig på våren igen utan nu kan man sitta hyfsat nöjd

Vectrix Returning With Lithium,

Vectrix Returning With Lithium
Nov 30th, 2009



ONLY TWO MONTHS ago, Electric vehicle manufacturer Vectrix filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the US, with plans to restructure and continue as New Vectrix.

According to a press release reportedly issued by China’s GoldPeak Batteries this month, Vectrix is preparing to return with a new Lithium Iron Phosphate-powered version of its VX1 electric bike.

GoldPeak is one of Vectrix’s original stakeholders. If the press release posted at the V is for Voltage website is to be believed, the Chinese battery manufacturer has acquired Vectrix’s assets and liabilities.

“This move is a triple win for customers, suppliers and for the employees. It provides the required stability to develop the key market and the right product,” the press release quotes Wolfgang Gohl, former Vice president for Operations and supposed new Vice President.

“The EV market is just starting to emerge, first policies are under development and Vectrix and his partners are in a prime position to supply a quality product for various applications.”

Future versions of Vectrix’s VX1 electric scooter will reportedly be powered by more powerful Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries, replacing the previous model’s Nickel Metal Hydride cells.

Two smaller models are expected to arrive after 2010, delivering outputs equivalent to 50cc and 150cc petrol-powered scooters.

It remains to be seen whether the press release can be believed. Neither company has posted news of an acquisition on their websites or through the usual media channels.

The Motor Report has contacted GoldPeak and Vectrix in the US and will report further as more information comes.

När man kikar på Sukas sida, så är det fortfarande samma maskin med 5 växlar etc http://www.suzukimc.se/motorcyklar/scooter/burgman-650a/1266997-burgman-650a

Nu har jag ju inget ljud i burken, men var hittar man att den är 7 äxlar etc?

[Chivas]

Jo, när man väljer scootrar på vänster sida, så dyker det upp en lista på höger sida med 2010 års modeller. Lite klurligt....

Men här kommer länken till den exakta sidan som man kommer till då;

Hälsn.

Tack för det Chivas.
Jo, jag har hittat den länken, men den visar väl den gamla kärran med 5 växlar?

[Chivas]

Bilden vågar jag inte svara på, eftersom dom inte har gjort några stora förändringar. Men det finns en liten bild på instrumenteringen och där ser man att det är den nya modellen.

Förresten. Hondas nya PCX 125 blir senarelagd. Kommer först i Juli 
Positiva är åtminstone att dom då hinner bli modell 2011.

Intressant projekt, undrar lite hur det är med att få ned fötterna men på någon bild ser den rätt "vid" ut nedtill.

ZEV comes out swinging: lays claim to world's fastest electric scooter,
http://www.gizmag.com/zev-zev7000-electric-scooter/14839/

ZEV comes out swinging: lays claim to world's fastest electric scooter,



American manufacturer ZEV has issued a fairly blunt challenge to other electric motorcycle manufacturers such as Vectrix, Zero Motorcycles and Brammo, by claiming to have the fastest and most powerful production electric scooter on the market in its US$7237 ZEV7000. "We tell them to bring their street legal production bike and to bring their betting money. There can be only one "fastest" street legal production electric motor scooter or bike in the world."

It's a big call to say your vehicle is the fastest on the market and call out your competitors like ZEV is doing - and it's an even bigger call when your bike's top speed is listed simply as "+113kmph/70mph."

For reference, when we test rode the impressive Vectrix electric scooter a couple of years back, that bike hit 110kmh fairly comfortably on the freeway too - despite the fact that it's only advertised to have a top speed of around 100.

Still, the ZEV7000 looks like a quality product, so we'll leave it to the competition to tackle or disprove any of ZEV's big claims and just take a look at the machine itself.

As its name suggests, the ZEV7000 puts out a continuous output of 7kW - with a peak output around 8kW and 14kW of standing start/launch power. Claimed peak torque, however, is a sky-high 184Nm, which would certainly help get it off the line with some gusto.



ZEV claims its secret recipe for massive torque is as simple as using large-diameter, multiphase motors, with a heavy emphasis on component cooling. Cooling the hub-mounted motor using an oil bath arrangement lets ZEV run a large motor at high speeds without the power sapping and motor-destroying effects of excess heat. The oil also helps ward off corrosion on the magnets - and this is part of the reason why ZEV offers a 2-year warranty on all its machines.

Range for the ZEV7000 is similar to the Vectrix at between 55 and 70 miles between charges, which take 25 minutes for a 75 percent top-up, or around 2 hours for a full charge. You can extend the vehicle's range or choose to access higher power by using what the company calls its "electronic transmission" - a switch that lets you choose how many amps the engine is running at. Low amps means low power but extended range, higher amps will drain the battery faster but give the bike substantially more beans.

Naturally, the ZEV7000 has also got a two-way throttle that can be rotated forward while on the move to engage regenerative engine braking and help get a bit more juice back into the battery.



One area in which the ZEV clearly stomps the Vectrix is in weight. Where the Vectrix comes in at a porky 200+kg, the ZEV tips the scales at a svelte 134kg. That's certainly going to give the ZEV a clear advantage on the dragstrip.

And the price tag is considerably leaner too, at US$7237 after tax credits to the Vectrix's RRP of around US$10,000 - although the Vectrix does bring with it a swag of top-shelf Italian braking and suspension componentry from Brembo and Marzocchi, as well as sexy looks that outclass the more utilitarian ZEV.

All in all, ZEV looks to be putting a fairly strong case forward as a commuter vehicle. The lithium battery should last upwards of 3000 full charge cycles, significantly more if you're putting it back on the charger without running it right down - so it should be good for upwards of 10 years of daily use with virtually no maintenance besides tires and fork oil.

And while there's lively arguments about exactly how clean and green your transport choice is if you're running it off fossil-generated mains power, there's simply no comeback when it comes to your daily energy costs: a zero-to-hero recharge will cost you about seven cents' worth of electricity.

Nice work, lads.

Ska bli kul och se om någon plockar upp den här i Sverige i sinom tid.
