 The vehicle has a hot-dip galvanized tubular steel frame and a polyester body with ABS parts.

During braking, part of the kinetic energy is converted into electricity and fed to the accumulators (recuperation). Different accumulator types can be ordered or installed. When purchasing the version with nickel-metal hydride batteries, the manufacturer gives a warranty of 10 years or 100,000 km on the batteries.

The maximum speed of the vehicle is 80 km / h, the range is the use of lead-acid batteries up to 80 km and with nickel-metal hydride up to 120 km. The power consumption is about 10 -17 kWh / 100 km; this corresponds to about 0.8 - 1.5 litres of gasoline.
