Tiny French EV tilts like bike, hits 71 mph, runs 124 miles per charge

AEMotion, a French e-mobility company, has introduced a compact electric microcar that uniquely combines motorcycle-like agility with the safety of a four-wheeled vehicle. This innovative EV features a tilting mechanism allowing the entire frame to lean up to 35 degrees in curves, enhancing dynamic handling. It is steered via handlebars and seats the driver and passenger in a tandem arrangement, reducing the vehicle’s width to just 31 inches (79 cm), ideal for navigating narrow urban streets. The microcar reaches a top speed of 71.5 mph (115 km/h) and offers a fixed battery range of 124 miles (200 km), with optional swappable battery packs providing an additional 43.5 miles (70 km) each. Safety is a key focus, with the vehicle meeting automotive-grade crash standards through the use of EPP bumpers, crash boxes, and an EPP-lined interior that acts like a passive airbag system. It also includes hydraulic disc brakes and
