About Wusa Veicolo elettrico per la mobilità personale
Wusa è una piccola motocicletta elettrica che funge anche da unità di propulsione per una carrozzina manuale. Il veicolo compatto è destinato agli spostamenti urbani e all'uso ricreativo. Un robusto telaio in acciaio accoglie una leggera batteria agli ioni di litio collocata in posizione bassa e laterale, così da poter utilizzare l'unità con una carrozzina. La trazione posteriore consente una velocità massima di 35 chilometri orari, mentre una sospensione posteriore a lunga escursione aumenta il comfort. È possibile installare componenti motociclistici già esistenti, così da personalizzare il veicolo. Wusa è progettata per attrarre tutti i conducenti, non solo gli utilizzatori di carrozzine.
