WOW 774 and WOW 775: the debut of a new idea of ​​electric mobility [PHOTO]

The specimens were introduced onto the market WOW 774 (L1e) e WOW 775 (L3e) of the Lombard startup.

The models

The aesthetics are minimalist, immediately distinguishable and futuristic. The specimens WOW 774 e WOW 775 they present clear, compact and immediately recognizable shapes. The length reaches i 2.077 millimeters, the height 1.167 mm and the width 725 mm. The saddle is placed at 785 mm in both cases. The vehicles have an integrated 10W USB socket for charging electronic devices and a split seat with a 50-litre compartment underneath which allows you to store a jet helmet and a bag. Then again: object holder hook, anti-theft device and remote control for remote control (which allows you to turn the vehicle on and off and open the compartment under the saddle as well as unlocking the batteries for their extraction.) There is also a reverse gear which facilitates manoeuvres, quick battery charger and a practical floor-standing battery charging base.
The scooters feature equally minimalist and distinctive full LED headlights, a display for digital instruments and battery compartments.

Technique and technology

The setup is linked to a "motorcycle" double cradle frame which is combined with suspensions with front hydraulic telescopic forks with 36 mm and a hydraulic mono shock absorber at the rear, therefore some wheels 16 inches which fit wide tires measuring 100/80 at the front and 120/80 at the rear. The braking system consists of a hydraulic system with 2 220 mm discs and combined CBS braking only on the WOW 775 model. An electronic braking system is also provided, alternative to the disc one, which can be recalled by a button on the right controls, which transforms 80% of the kinetic energy into charging supplied to the battery.
There are three driving modes: ECO with low battery consumption; CITY which allows a peak speed of 45 km/h on WOW 774 and 75 km/h on WOW 775; In the end SPORTS for full use of power reaching 85 km/h on WOW 775, while it amounts to 45 km/h on WOW 774.

Engine and power supply

The specimens WOW 774 e WOW 775 they are equipped with a brushless asynchronous electric motor characterized by toothed belt drive and positioned centrally in the rear swingarm. The system includes 2 removable lithium ion batteries protected by external aluminum compartments. These appear on the sides of the rear seat. The power of the WOW 774 is 4.0 kW being able to reach 45 km/h as mentioned. This makes it an L1e vehicle that can even be driven by 14 year olds. While moving to WOW 775 the figure rises to 5.0 kW being able to reach a maximum of 85 km/h in SPORT mode.
The batteries have a voltage of 72V and an ability to 32Ah / 2,3kWh on the 774 model with battery "STANDARD" (the “PLUS” version with 42Ah / 3,0 kWh is available on request), while 42Ah / 3,0kWh on 775 with battery "PLUS". The complete charging time is approximately 5 hours, according to the indications. The reported autonomy reaches 110 km for the 774 model with "PLUS" battery and 95 km for the 775.
The battery pack weighs 15 kg when speaking of a "STANDARD" type or 18 kg leaning towards a "PLUS" solution, to be compared to a curb weight of 93 kg and 95 kg respectively for WOW 774 and WOW 775.

Proposal

Available initially in over 40 national dealers in the Italy2Volt network, there are six color variants, opting between anthracite, White, electric blue, Grey, red e petrol green. A price of 4.250 euros has been reported for a WOW 774 model with a 32Ah “STANDARD” battery (€2857 with 40% incentive and scrapping) and 4.990 euros for the WOW 775 (€3.354 with 40% incentive and scrapping). Figures include 22% VAT ex-dealership and 24-month warranty, as stated.
