Go2roues Rider 3RS + test: a versatile electric tricycle
Content
Go2roues, a small electric scooter and motorcycle company, is offering a new, more versatile version of its electric tricycle. We tried it for you on the streets of the capital.
A modern and practical 125cc equivalent, built to combine everyday commuting with efficiency. This is the program for the new brand model owned by Go2roues, Rider 3RS +. After the first Rider 3R equivalent to 50 cc, then the Rider 3RS equivalent to 125 cc but limited to 70 km / h, it was Rider 3RS + 's turn to join the range with top speed increased to 100 km / h. to make it a more versatile three-wheeler outside city boundaries.
Fitted look
The new electric scooter signed by Go2roues uses the distinctive design of its predecessor, always highlighted by modern equipment. In the guise of a small futuristic robot with 3 wheels, we find full LED lighting beautifully integrated into the fairings, a double chassis, above all a sleek, sporty rims, as well as a digital instrument panel and very complete control on the fairing. side of the steering wheel.
The protection of high technology does not end there! USB jack, adaptive lighting, 7-inch LCD screen with automatic day / night switching, reverse gear, alarm clock, Bluetooth speakers and a proximity dongle are also part of the game. The suburban ambitions of our Rider 3RS + are accentuated by a tall screen and large stepped saddle, perfect for traversing tens of kilometers with a convenient fit. We also appreciate the small rear-seat backrest, which isn't too much when we know about the maneuverability of an electric vehicle, whose instant torque can surprise at launch.
Rider 3RS +: the most powerful in its class
Powered by a 5 kW (9 kW peak) engine, the Rider 3RS + is the most powerful electric three-wheeler in its class. A rare thing for a similar 3, the batteries are removable for easy recharging at home or in the office. They accumulate 125 kWh of total power. Interesting point: the location of the batteries under the floor does not affect the loading space. This way the Rider 4,8RS + retains good under-seat space.
In use, the driver has the ability to adjust the power thanks to two suggested driving modes: Mode 1 is for city driving and limits the speed of the 3RS + to 50 km / h, and Mode 2 uses the full power of the scooter. and has a top speed of 100 km / h. This will make it more versatile and allow you to get out of the city in the direction of the ring road of Paris, as well as the nearby national roads.
Lightweight as a thermal equivalent (only 140kg) and powerful enough, the Rider 3RS + offers the responsiveness you need to keep in motion and overtake easily.
Bluff agility
The advantage of a tricycle is its stability. And Rider 3RS+ knows how to do it in such terrain. The front axle, although lighter than other tricycles on the market, remains precise and easy to turn. When stopped on fire, the front wheels are automatically blocked. So there is no need to step on the ground.
Road holding is not criticized and the handling of the car is deceptive, as we were able to see the vagaries of Parisian traffic: the electric Rider was stable on flat pavement, gripped on wet pavement and very maneuverable in an area larger than deteriorated due to work in progress in Paris . But after the rain, good weather! National direction. Here, the Rider 3RS+ excels with the flexibility of the engine in mode 2, as well as the comfort of its suspension, height differences, and other potholes (also true of speed bumps in the city). Neither too hard nor too soft. Combined CBS braking front and rear is impressive in its effectiveness. Whether it's hard slowdowns or a few emergency stops, the Rider 3RS+ bites hard and goes straight thanks to its 3 wheels.
An electric scooter that meets all the requirements
The stability and maneuverability of the scooter is largely due to the correct placement of the removable batteries. Placed under the floor, they keep the center of gravity as low as possible.
Finally, daily endurance is also at the junction of at least 80 km of autonomy on expressways and up to 140 km in urban use. Add to that an under-saddle box that can accommodate the equivalent of two full-face helmets and you have a Rider 3RS + that fits the bill: practical, powerful, agile, equipped and up-to-date! In short, an electric three-wheeled car, which was so lacking in the model range ... and responsible townspeople looking for a universal and original car.
