BamBoo Concept Electric Vehicle From Rinspeed

An auto tuning company, Rinspeed, debuted their BamBoo Concept Electric Vehicle at the recent Geneva Motor Show.  The European-based company was showcasing technologies for the NEV market.  The BamBoo features…

….a 54kW electric motor and enough battery capacity to give it a 104 km (65 mi.) range. The German made high-torque motor can accelerate the 1,090Kg vehicle to a top speed of 120 km/h. This lightweight vehicle features a steel chassis with horizontal shock absorbers with a sturdy composite body and extensive use of polymer plastic materials. The BamBoo sits on 17″ AEZ three-spoke billet aluminum wheels and eco-friendly Goodyear “EfficientGrip” energy-saving tires.

While not likely to ever be put into production, the vehicle’s styling continues to point to a movement in some parts of the NEV market away from the golf car look and more towards the styling of highway capable vehicles.  In addition, the effort shows that Rinspeed, which usually works with companies such as Porsche and BMW, sees potential in the NEV market.   Learn more:  Golfcartcityonline.com
