Tunisian-German EV startup gears up to launch second model:<\/strong> Tunisian-German start-up Bako Motors<\/a> is preparing to unveil their second solar-powered electric vehicle that caters to the last-mile delivery sector, the firm told tech outlet Ventureburn<\/a>. Unlike the first model \u2014 the Bako B1 electric tricycle \u2014 the new four-wheeled vehicle will also come with a passenger version. Bako Motors did not give any further details or mention when the new model is expected to hit the market.<\/p>\n

Bako Motors\u2019 first product is making waves beyond Tunisia: <\/strong>\u201cThe B1 has gained popularity not only in Tunisia but also on the international stage, with successful exports to Qatar<\/a> and Germany<\/a>,\u201d Ventureburn said. Bako Motors also recently expanded to France through newly established subsidiary Bako France, the company said<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The specs: <\/strong>The B1 packs a 4 KW battery with a max range of 150 to 200 KM (depending on the version) on full charge, and can reach a top speed of 45 km\/h, according to Bako Motors\u2019 website<\/a>. Its 2.4k liter loading capacity allows it to transport up to 300 kg of cargo. A full charge lasts three hours and nine minutes and it can be charged using domestic sockets.<\/p>\n

Price tag + running costs: <\/strong>\u201cPriced at just EUR 4k (USD 4.2k), this electric tricycle offers an economical and sustainable alternative to traditional fuel-powered vehicles,\u201d Ventureburn writes. The vehicle also has relatively low operational costs, which can be as little as USD 0.50 for every 100 km on the road. The PV panel can offer up to 50 km of free driving per day.<\/p>\n

About Bako Motors:<\/strong> The green mobility startup was founded in 2021 and has since sold its tricycle delivery vehicle for a wide range of local institutions, including SMART Tunisie<\/a>, Tunis\u2019 public health ministry<\/a>, and supermarket startup Akdhi<\/a>. It won the SolarX Grand Challenge<\/a> this year where it was awarded a USD 15k prize.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
