Opel RAKe / Vauxhall RAKe

After the car’s appearance at this year’s IAA Frankfurt motor show, Schmidt and his team are moving to the next stage of development and undertaking two further market research projects – general consumer research and a potential end-user research project.

Opel should have the results by the end of this year and if they are positive the OEM will consider a future production programme.

Opel/Vauxhall's Rad e - the first e-bike to be built around automotive construction and production principles
Image
pic gallery shows this design and the rest cars? surprised they're not accepting visa/paypal payments yet... :roll:
Opel became yet another another manufacturer to begin preparing for the next era of mobility today when it was learned that the General Motors subsidiary will show the "RAD e", a 250 W pedelec with an electrically-supported range of between 60 and 145 kilometers.

Opel will present the "RAD e" design study at next month's Geneva International Auto Show and is clearly intended to become a future part of the range, with the company announcing that it will be the first e-bike to be built around automotive construction and production principles, plus that it carries much of Opel's typical design language such as the boomerang shaped features associated with the Ampera and the RAK e concept car.

even if it does you need somewhere to charge it, in my country there's no way you can charge an ev outside your garage that's one of the reasons of the Ev failure.
