Public sale.
The "WALKCAR" developed by cocoa motors is the world's first "car that can fit in a handbag". The size is 215 mm long and 346 mm wide, which is equivalent to a 13-inch notebook computer. It weighs only 2.9 kg and the maximum load can reach 120 kg. It allows the car to continue driving at a maximum speed of 16 km/h and be fully charged in a single shot. After that, the maximum battery life is 60 minutes. The operation of WALKCAR is mainly controlled by the user moving the center of gravity of the body, without the need for a handle or controller. The user only needs to tilt his body in the direction he wants to reach, and WALKCAR will move automatically; once the user gets off, WALKCAR will start the safety design and automatically stop moving forward. At the same time, whether it is a slope or uneven road, WALKCAR can drive smoothly.
"WALKCAR" includes two designs of aluminum alloy version and carbon fiber composite material version. The composite material version introduced this time uses carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite laminate "Tenax TPCL" from Teijin Japan, thermoplastic composite fabric "Tenax TPWF" and Polycarbonate resin "Panlite" has greatly achieved the lightness and durability of "WALKCAR".
