Detailed description (English): Electric Riders commercialize off-road electric motorcycles as well as guided tourist routes along the dirt roads of the Pyrenees.
The E-TRANSIBERICA project consists of making the tour of the Iberian Peninsula in 5 stages, moving along the roads of the mountain territories on a UBCO off-road electric moped type motorcycle. The project totals 5,400km, ( dirt roads) in all the mountains that we find on our way, performed in 5 stages:
1) Cap de Creus - Faro Higuer (Hondarribia) con 900km. (2022)
2) Faro de Higuer - Finisterre (1.100 km) (2023)
3) Finisterre - Punta Tarifa (1.350km) (2024)
4) Punta Trifa - Valencia (1.050 km) (2025)
5) Valencia - Cap de Creus (900km) (2026)
SILENT:
UBCOs are 100% electric, therefore they do not produce any noise and do not disturb animals or pedestrians in their path. They don't even have a drag chain as the engines are installed on each wheel which makes it even quieter
SUSTAINABLE:
(i) 100% electric with zero emissions.
(ii) By having the engine in the hub of the wheels, there is no drag therefore no need of any grease and oils, more environmentally friendly than a mountain bike.
(iii) The compound of the tyres is of low degradation, allowing much longer distances than usual (+6,000km)
(iv) The motors have a battery regeneration system by self-brake so longer range and less wear on the brake pads
(v) Simple, Robust and High Quality minimizes maintenance tasks ans spare parts replacement.
MINIMAL EROSION & MAX SAFETY:
Light weight (65kg) means low soil erotion and low speed (45km/h max) means respect for animals and pedestrians.
Target group(s): Accessible to all gender 15 years or older with the driving license for mopeds, motorbikes or cars.
Objectives: Enjoy nature, landscapes, touristic interest areas while moving around in silence and with respect for animals and pedestrians
