Disbelief on the beach accompanies the silent carving of an e-tron foil as it floats over the water. This is the ultimate coolest kind of water sport. Little by little, more and more fans are taking a liking to this form of locomotion. e-foils are on the rise and there are now already several providers of these extraordinary electric watercraft. The Audi e-tron foil is currently the most popular and safest e-foil on the market, which we now also offer in our e-shop. The e-tron Foil from Audi in a fact check he Audi e-tron foil whizzes across the water at speeds of up to 50 km/h with zero emissions. Beginners cruise at a leisurely 15 to 30 km/h. Experienced water sports enthusiasts steer the e-Foil over the smooth surface of the water at an average speed of 40 km/h. The speed is controlled by remote control. The speed is controlled by remote control, which is held loosely in the hand. This shows the current battery charge status. Thanks to the finely adjustable drive lever, the controller with smart functions allows you to optimally adjust 10 power levels. With a moderate riding style, 1.5 hours of riding fun are guaranteed. With a gentle riding style, even longer. The maximum range and driving time depend on the weight of the driver, the weather conditions, the altitude and the setting of the wing. The Audi e-tron foil, which is made of carbon, weighs about 32 kg including the battery. The aerodynamics are reminiscent of an aeroplane wing, except that the e-foil glides through the water instead of the air. The faster you go, the more water flows over the drive foil and gives it lift. So eventually the board goes so high that it appears to be floating in the air. How difficult is it to learn to foil? If you already have surfing experience, foiling is quickly learned. It is even likely that you will be able to glide longer distances over the water on your first day. There are certainly e-foil courses offered in your area, for example in Berlin by our partner e-Surfer. In addition to technical instruction, you will also learn the most important rules of conduct and the basics of nautical law. It's always helpful to get tips and tricks from professionals. Can I glide everywhere with the e-Foil That depends. Unfortunately, there are no standardised solutions and therefore you have to get individual information on the spot. Basically, the use of electric surfboards is allowed on many waters as a small vehicle. If you use more than 2.21 kW (3 hp), you must have a licence. You only need a sports licence for watercraft with more than 11.03 kW (15 hp). However, there is one exception: on the Rhine, you need this licence for boats with more than 3.68 kW (5 hp). The safest e-foil in the world The Audi e-tron foil sets new standards with its closed and gearless drive system. It is particularly robust and noise-optimised. Carbon fibre mast and wings guarantee long durability and low weight. This means the board reacts extremely reliably and you can steer precisely around the turns. The installed technology is state-of-the-art. The individual components are also available as spare parts afterwards. The manufacturer also promises a matching app soon that offers additional features for your board. There is currently no better e-foil on the market. The Audi e-tron foil is now available in our e-Shop in the Adventure and Performance versions.

e-mobility is not only scooters and SUVs, but above all e-CargoBikes, e-load mopeds and e-utility vehicles! For flower shops, bakers or chimney sweeps: the quiet and emission-free all-rounders are the alternatives for the fast and sustainable transport of goods of all kinds! We provide information about the vehicle categories, performance options and the right vehicle. There are different types of electric utility vehicles: More and more business people are opting for electrically powered vehicles in order to be sustainably and at the same time cost-effectively mobile in their activities. In the meantime, numerous manufacturers offer a wide variety of solutions that can be individually adapted to the needs of the company. In this way, the loading areas can not only be individually configured, but also function as an advertising space on wheels at the same time. We present the different vehicle categories: Not only popular with young families: e-CargoBikes Shops also like to use e-CargoBikes to deliver their goods. The home shopping delivery service is not only popular in times of pandemic. Courier services also benefit from the light e-bikes with loading space, as they are manoeuvrable and the couriers often reach their destination faster on the cycle paths. Meanwhile, craftsmen also like to use the mobile workshops, with which they can ride directly to their customers. In this environmentally friendly way, they can easily transport the equipment from A to B and at the same time do something for their own health. In the meantime, there are also roofed cabins that protect the driver from wind and weather. However, the drive is still provided by pedals. As with a conventional pedelec, the power is assisted by an electric motor up to 25 km/h. The pedelec's speed is limited to 25 km/h. Therefore, these e-vehicles are also considered bicycles and require neither a driving licence nor an insurance licence plate. Incidentally, some cities and municipalities give subsidies for the purchase of e-CargoBikes. This makes the purchase attractive in addition to the often lower prices compared to a car. Parking problems adé: electric cargomopeds If you want to do without muscle power altogether and still be able to travel quickly in urban traffic, an electric cargo scooter is a good choice. The advantage of these vehicles is that they take up very little space, which makes it much easier to find a parking space. Parking in the second row, which annoys other road users, is no longer necessary. In addition, mopeds can be driven by young people from the age of 15 with an AM driving licence. This is practical if you employ schoolchildren as temporary workers. And if there is another traffic jam in the city, the e-moped has a clear advantage. It gets the pizza to the customer faster. We have the following e-mopeds on offer: ARI 145 Lastenmoped, Horwin EK1 with special setup, Cake Ösa Flex: Work, Cake Makka Flex: Work Would you like a little more? e-Cargi vehicles with 3 and 4 wheels Speaking of pizza: if it should rain, a microcar such as the ARI 902 would certainly be an alternative. This belongs to the L7e vehicle class and, with a net price of only 13,999 €, is an inexpensive alternative. If somewhat larger goods are to be transported, electric commercial vehicles with box bodies come into question. The transport cab can be customised, even a refrigeration function can be integrated, such as in the ARI 458 refrigerated vehicle. ARI Motors offers a wide range of configurations for its vehicles, so that the vehicle can be built precisely for the desired application. Whether as a three-wheeled ARI 345 flatbed or with the ARI 458 Food Truck - with the right equipment, you are well prepared for any eventuality. Electric commercial vehicles offer a number of advantages to business owners With their quiet drive, e-CargoBikes and cargo vehicles help reduce noise in urban areas. The lower operating costs and maintenance requirements make them economically attractive. The environmentally friendly nature of electric vehicles enables business operators to achieve their sustainability goals and build a green image. They also offer improved performance and range thanks to their fast acceleration and high efficiency. So by using electric commercial vehicles, tradespeople can not only cut costs but also reduce their environmental footprint. ​ More information in our e-Wiki.

voylt, together with the market research company UScale and the BEM | Bundesverband eMobilität e.V. presented the 2023 micromobility study. It examines the attitudes of owners, interested parties and non-owners of electric light vehicles towards micromobility in Germany and provides insight into the social behavior of the buyer groups. Sustainable alternative to cars: electric light vehicles (LEV) Electric light vehicles (LEV) are considered the new vehicle alternative to cars and are technical vehicles for the drive transition. Many people think of e-scooters from sharing providers that get in the way on sidewalks. But micromobility is much more multifaceted. In addition to the vehicles covered by the Electric Small Vehicles Ordinance (eKFV) up to 20 km/h, this also includes two-wheeled, three-wheeled or four-wheeled motor vehicles from 25 km/h that are intended for driving on public roads and which include both passenger and logistics vehicles. In order to cover the entire spectrum, the study also included small electric vehicles without handlebars that are not (yet) registered in Germany. Since electric light vehicles are significantly smaller and lighter than a classic automobile, they make an important contribution to climate & Resource conservation. Due to their size advantage, they take up less space in stationary and moving traffic, reduce noise and consume less CO2 and primary energy over their life cycle. 1,890 participants in the representative survey shared their attitude to micromobility. The results reflect the usage behavior, the purchasing process and the image of electric light vehicles. And that is better than what is often reported in the media. “We don’t see a culture clash between the vehicles among those surveyed, but rather a search for the optimal, personal use,” says Dr. Axel Sprenger, Founder & Managing Director of Uscale, which specializes in customer insights studies in the field of eMobility. “Because the market is very young and there is a lack of information in many places, people are feeling their way forward. As market analysts, we are finally getting closer to this field, which is so important for the mobility transition, and we are pleased that we can now present a major study on this important topic for the first time.” Micromobility study proves the increasing popularity of LEVs in all age groups The central results confirm that micromobility has a positive image. The following points particularly emerged: - Micromobility is not a big city phenomenon. LEVs are even used more frequently in the countryside than in the city. - All age groups drive light vehicles equally. Older people in particular are discovering the vehicles for themselves, for example in order to remain mobile if they have health restrictions. - LEVs are currently used by people who tend to earn better. - The majority of property owners are well connected to public transport. LEVs do not represent competition to local public transport. - 53% of those who own a car say they use their car less, 6% even reportedreported to have got rid of their own car. Information is sought online, purchases are made in the local store. The purchasing process is now more complex. Buyers have a great need for information on technical and regulatory topics. They predominantly inquire online about offers, prices and technical details. Range and features are the most important factors in the purchase decision. The majority then buy from a local specialist retailer (46%). 20% of owners had experience sharing LEVs before purchasing. Half of them say that these experiences have encouraged them to buy an electric light vehicle. 31% of non-owners are basically interested in buying, and another 10% see LEVs as having a great future. Only 5% of those who do not own light vehicles fundamentally reject them. Those who are not interested know that e-micromobility is more than just a fashion. However, they would like to see stronger regulation to make LEVs' participation in traffic safer. Johannes Haas, Founder & Managing Director of voylt, confirms the growing interest in purchased vehicles: “For us, the results show that the tiresome discussion about sharing e-scooters in poorly regulated large cities obscures the opportunities offered by micromobility. In reality, the increase in personal comfort through electric light vehicles is confirmed in highly individualized mobility.” There are numerous users who benefit from the diverse range of electric light vehicles: - Employees who use the every day e-moped commute to work in the neighboring town - Families who want an electric cargo bike Use for shopping trips or transporting children - Entrepreneurs who are increasingly using electric small vans Insert or - Singles in the big city with the electric MicroCar in every Fit parking space. - Especially the market for e-mobility aids for people with restricted mobility grows. The vehicles are becoming transportable and the manufacturers are offering their customers suitable e-vehicles for all cases. Scuddy, for example, will launch a four-wheeled vehicle this year, the Scuddy Premium Quad. The comprehensive eMobility micromobility study 2023 provides detailed insights into usage behavior, the wishes of prospective buyers and comments on how municipalities and politicians could support the change to sustainable mobility. An excerpt from the study is here viewable. If you are interested in the complete study, please feel free to send us an enquiry.

During the Micromobility Expo in Hannover the other week, we were able to test-ride varous models of CAKE’s electric two-wheelers. CAKE is a Swedish electric motorbike company that was founded in the year 2016 and is headquartered in Stockholm. Their mission is to develop high-quality, sustainable electric motorcycles that will inspire towards a zero-emission society. CAKE bikes: e-mobility with awards Just a few weeks ago the Swedish mobility company announced that it had received three awards at this year’s German Innovation Awards. Here products and solutions are honoured that distinguish themselves primarily by their user centricity and added value. And the Swedish company won three prizes for the electric vehicles. The electric anti-poaching motorcycle CAKE Kalk AP received a prestigious Gold, with the electric urban commuter CAKE Makka and the innovative food delivery solution Ösa x Dometic Delibox receiving additional praise from the German Design Council. But these German Innovations Awards weren’t the only awards, as in recent years accolades included the 2019 and 2020 Red Dot Design Award, IF Design Award, Automotive Brand Contest Award and several “Best in Show” designations awarded by numerous outdoor industry publications. In May CAKE made the cover of MOTION Magazine with an inspiring project of anti-poaching with its silent motorbikes in Africa. Light, quiet and clean to a zero-emission society CAKE’s CEO and Founder Stefan Ytterborn told me in a recent talk about his mission for his mobility startup: “From the very start the goal was to create electric motorcycles that would combine excitement with responsibility, while inspiring the shift to a zero-emission society.” Light, quiet and clean are the main trademarks for CAKE’s bikes today and our test rides showed exactly that. Very easy to handle and with an excellent acceleration – these bikes clearly represent the future of bike riding with a new look and a sustainable solution under the seat. This is how electric driving wins over the hearts of global bike riders.
