Trinity Uranus RS EV goes official with 100km range
What's the story
German start-up Trinity has launched the Uranus RS scooter in its home country. Its debut in India seems unlikely. As for the highlights, the two-wheeler flaunts a neo-retro look and offers LED illumination as well as three riding modes. It draws power from an electric powertrain and promises a range of up to 100km on a single charge.
Context
Why does this story matter?
The Trinity Uranus RS is a good-looking vehicle with decent performance and should attract a lot of buyers in the Old Continent. However, this electric two-wheeler is unlikely to arrive on our shores in the near future as it is too costly for the market. If it does come here, the rivalry in the electric scooter segment will be raised.
Design
The scooter has 12-inch wheels and a single-piece seat
The Trinity Uranus RS bears a minimalist look, featuring an indicator-mounted front apron, a flat footboard, a single-piece seat with a pillion grab rail, and a circular headlight as well as mirrors. The scooter packs an LED headlight and a digital instrument cluster, and rides on 12-inch wheels shod in tubeless tires. It can bear a maximum payload of 187kg.
Information
It attains a top speed of 110km/h
Trinity Uranus RS packs a 6kW brushless DC motor linked to two 72V/32Ah Li-ion battery packs. The setup puts out 14.75hp of power. It allows the vehicle to hit a top speed of 110km/h and deliver a range of 100km per charge.
Safety
It gets telescopic front forks
To ensure the safety of the rider, the Trinity Uranus RS is equipped with disc brakes on both the front and rear wheels. It also gets three riding modes: Eco, Standard, and Sport. Meanwhile, suspension duties on the electric scooter are taken care of by telescopic forks on the front side and dual shock absorbers on the rear end.
