Final Development of Maeving RM1: Homologation, Alpha Test & Beta Test

移动性的未来是电动的，是时候取得进展了。我们的目标是让每个人都能买到电动汽车，对我们梅文来说，这意味着电动摩托车。英国政府规定，到2030年，汽车和面包车的100%销售必须是电动的。原始设备制造商现在预计电动两轮车(PTW)的扩展是不可避免的；目前电动汽车的普及率仅为1.4%。为什么会这么低呢？因为现有制造商正专注于高端市场，希望通过利用电动动力总成具有竞争力的性能特征，超越汽油竞争对手。其结果是一批昂贵得令人望而却步的摩托车，它们都依赖于尚不存在的充电基础设施。要考虑买一辆电动摩托车，你需要有一个健康的收入，以及一个带插电式充电的车库--这使得它对大多数城市居民来说是一个荒谬的选择。现实是，电动摩托车采用的最大障碍--里程焦虑--可以通过其他解决方案来解决，而不是更大的电池和更多的充电站。在低功率的&lt；125cc摩托车和踏板车世界。电动汽车出类拔萃，成为一种真正可行的石油替代品。你如何克服里程焦虑，同时提供一种廉价的、可再生的化石燃料替代品？电池足够小，可以在任何插座上拆卸和充电。在中国，这项技术已经流行了一段时间，大多数市民现在都骑着装有可拆卸电池的小功率滑板车出行，享受着电动带来的众多好处。问题是什么？总的来说，这些产品并不是按照英国/欧洲标准制造的。因此，我们的挑战是重新发明可拆卸电池的概念，使其具有欧洲市场所需的功能和制造质量。将英国摩托车的原始魅力与现代技术相结合。100多年的英国摩托车工程经验导致了这种重新想象：Maeving的第一款电动摩托车Maeving RM1。经过3年的开发，RM1现在需要使道路合法，并接受重要的真实世界测试；确保我们的最终产品提供客户期望的质量。我们还需要测试我们的直接面向消费者的商业模式：一个颠覆性的世界第一的两轮领域，这呼应了特斯拉与过时的汽车经销商脱钩的成功。总而言之，这些将给我们实现增长和规模的最佳机会，巩固英国第一辆量产电动摩托车作为全球转向电动交通的关键驱动力。

The future of mobility is electric, and it's time to make progress. We aim to put an electric vehicle within reach of everyone and, for us at Maeving, that means electric motorcycles.The UK government mandates that 100% of car and van sales by 2030 must be electric. OEMs are now anticipating the inevitable extension to Powered-Two-Wheelers (PTW); in which electric adoption currently sits at an underwhelming 1.4%. Why is it so low? Because existing manufacturers are focusing on the high-end market, looking to outshine petrol rivals by harnessing the competitive performance characteristics of electric powertrains. The result is a stream of prohibitively expensive motorcycles, all reliant on a charging infrastructure that doesn't yet exist. To consider an electric motorcycle, you'll need a healthy income, and a garage with plug-in charging -- making it's a non-sensical option for the majority of city-dwellers.The reality is that the biggest barrier to electric adoption, range-anxiety, can be solved with solutions other than bigger batteries and more charging points. In the low-power world of <125cc motorcycles and scooters. electric excels, and becomes a truly viable alternative to petrol.How do you overcome range-anxiety, whilst providing a cheap, renewable, alternative to fossil fuels? With a battery small enough that it can be removed and charged at any plug-socket. In China, where this technology has been popular for some time, the majority of its citizens are now riding around on low-power scooters with removable batteries; enjoying the numerous benefits that electric affords.The problem? Universally, these products are not built to a UK/European standard. Our challenge was therefore to reinvent the removable battery concept with the features and build-quality the European market demands. To combine the primitive appeal of British motorcycles, with modern technology. Over a 100 years of British motorcycle engineering experience has led to this re-imagining: Maeving's first electric motorcycle, the Maeving RM1.After 3 years in development, the RM1 now needs to be made road-legal, and to undergo significant real-world testing; ensuring our final product delivers the quality our customers expect. We also need to test our direct-to-consumer business model: a disruptive world-first in the two-wheeled sector, which echoes the success of Tesla's de-coupling from antiquated car dealerships. Combined, these will give us the best chance of achieving growth and scale, cementing Britain's first production electric motorcycle as a key driver in the global shift to electric transportation.
