About Libra12 Elektrisk Foldbar Løbehjul

Libra12 er en trehjulet elektrisk foldbar løbehjul designet til daglig pendling. Tre solide, kraftige dæk giver stabilitet på mange typer vejoverflader. En 350W motor og et 48V 20Ah batteri leverer kraften, og batteriet er fuldt opladet på få timer. Magnesiumrammen holder løbehjulet let og modstandsdygtigt. En foldemekanisme gør det muligt at klappe Libra12 sammen og transportere den i en bils bagagerum. Et instrumentpanel viser data som hastighed og batteriniveau, mens LED-lys forbedrer synligheden på vejen.
