Suzuki unveils e-Let’s – A motor assisted electric bicycle

A new contraption on two-wheels was unveiled at the Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan prototyped by Suzuki Motor Corp. known as the “e-Let’s”, this vehicle runs on electricity and has been officially registered and characterized as a motor assisted bicycle. Based on Suzuki’s “Let’s4 Basket”, this one though lacks the engine, tank, muffler and transmission of its inspiration and is equipped with a lithium-ion (Li-ion) rechargeable battery unit and a control circuit. About 2kg lighter than the “Let’s4 Basket” bike that weighed 74kgs, the “e-Let’s” also boasts a detachable battery pack and a portable charger tucked below the seat. Connection to a 100V power outlet charges this one up in four hours. With a range of 30km and a speed of 30km/h, the “e-Let’s” is sure to find its place in the global market once placed on shelves for sale.

We’d sure love to see more motor assisted vehicles like these powered by electricity on roads in future!
