The Electric Rapid is equipped with a variant of the highly acclaimed eZee electric motor. It is not only convincing with its legendary torque (70Nm), but also through its low wear and tear consumption. The battery compartment is integrated into the cargo area giving the Rapid a low centre of gravity and simple accessibility. The beauty of this battery is that it can be charged almost everywhere, is protected against cold in the winter and can also be operated with an exchange battery.
