Developers from the London-based company D-Fly Group have turned a traditional electric scooter into a unique hyperscooter that can compete with some cars in speed and cost.
D-Fly Group engineers used the most advanced materials and technologies available in the automotive and aviation industries to create urban vehicles. The Dragonfly case is made of carbon fiber and 700 series aluminum. Its high durability allows to use it in the aviation industry. When decorating “Dragonflies”, paulownia wood (Adam’s tree) is used, from which mountain skies are made.
Two electric motors with transmission provide Dragonfly with acceleration up to 61 km/h, and traction control ensures the transmission of 1800 watts of power to each wheel. The power reserve is 45 km on a full battery charge. The Full-Tilt function for manual control is patented for cars participating in Formula 1 races and is equipped with controls in three planes to manage the tilt on the central rack.
The hyperscooter parameters are controlled using a 4.5-inch display with a resolution of 4K. The monitor connects to the smartphone via Bluetooth and allows you to track the location and speed using GPS.
This unique high-tech electric scooter has the unique price of $5,000, this being the price of the base model with three wheels. An extended modification with 4 wheels will cost $6,000. The first Dragonfly items will go on sale in 2020.
