After the launch of Taiwanese brand Kymco’s F9 electric scooter (e-scooter) in November 2020, the 2021 Felo FW-06 is now in the China market, with two variants. Produced with investment from Kymco, the FW06 GL retails at 26,800 RMB (RM17,349) and the FW06 DX is tagged at 28,800 RMB (RM18,643).
Difference between the FW06 GL and DX models is range, with the GL getting 110 km of travel and the DX having 140 km before needing a charge. Governed to a maximum speed of 110 km/h, the FW06 also uses the two-speed gearbox found on the Kymco F9, giving a quick acceleration figure of zero to 50 km/h in three seconds.
A brushless DC motor produces 10 kW peak power and is capable of generating 30 Nm of torque with the mid-mounted motor driving the rear wheel via belt. Battery capacity is dependant on the model, with the FW06 GL using a 96 Volt 80 Ah unit while the GL gets a 88 Ah battery.
The lithium-ion battery packs are not removable for external charging and charging time is said to take between four to six hours. Rolling on 14-inch wheels, suspension on the FW06 is basic as is typical for e-scooters designed for the urban environment while hydraulic disc brakes with single-channel ABS – the launch model of the Kymco F9 came with a single front disc and rear mechanical drum brake – perform stopping duties.
An LCD instrument panel displays information required by the rider, including range and battery state, while an app allows monitoring of the FW06 in real time. LED lighting is used throughout and the FW06 features a smart key system for security.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Honda Kapchai still not yet EV.
Somebody should standardize the Battery Module,
Then easy swap rental @ Petrol Station/Battery Banks.
Not everybody want to wait/have charging spot.
But still want EV Bike, especially when more cars already autonomous Taxi level.
That is a radical and contemporary motorcycle design from a chinese manufacturer.
any malaysian cubchai manufacturer brave enough to follow that design language?
Radical yes but practical? There is little if any storage space compared to standard kapcai
They should give removable battery pack (aku) and maybe system like grab&go.
BUT why a fixed battery. I know to save weight but it also means that when Lithium/Sulphur batteries arrive which will double or triple the range and weigh less you cant swap them. It’s still one of the best looking scooters I have seen, Good job Felo/Kymco now when are the rest of the scooters manufactures going to take notice and start producing more hybrid scooter/motorbikes.
