Electric scooter: Continental launches replaceable batteries
Continental Engineering Services (CES) and Varta team up to develop a 48V replaceable battery for the 125cc electric scooter market. Cm.
After a short exploration of the electric bike market, Continental returned to the electric two-wheeler segment. In collaboration with battery specialist Varta, the German equipment manufacturer has just unveiled a new battery pack specially designed for electric scooters with a volume of 125 cc.
Developed by Continental Engineering Services (CES), this new The 48 volt unit is made of high performance V4Drive lithium-ion cells from Varta. The 9kg bag designed by Continental offers uflight range 50 km and power 10 kW... It can be very easily removed from the car and transported for recharging at home or in the office.
The system developed by CES and Varta also allows multiple batteries to be connected in parallel. Configuration to adapt autonomy according to needs.

As Continental Engineering Services notes in its press release, “This innovative technology fills a gap in the growing battery-powered vehicle market. “. Electric scooter users equivalent to 50 cm3 Low-power cars are not always pleasing, but more powerful models are usually equipped with a non-removable battery. Therefore, this requires a parking space with a charger.
"A 48-volt replaceable battery based on the revolutionary V4Drive cell, combined with our innovative battery management system, provides a breakthrough in long-distance electric mobility on two wheels." says Alex Ruprecht, Director of the Powertrain and Electrification Business Segment at CES. “The battery system has a high power density, meets industry standards in its performance class, and can be easily removed from the scooter and quickly recharged. This is the ideal solution for users who do not have the option of recharging in their parking space. “
