For these in search of an e-mobility resolution for native and last-mile transportation that’s a step above an e-bike, each when it comes to options and performance, one thing just like the TECTUS is likely to be price wanting into, because it presents all-wheel drive, wi-fi charging, and a climate-controlled cabin for all season consolation. This electrical mobility scooter from Avvenire Electric Vehicle Intl. Corp., which seems to be focused towards seniors, boasts as much as 100 miles of vary per cost, room for cargo, and off-road capabilities.

The TECTUS has been within the works for the previous couple of years, and acquired a quick point out in a 2020 article in CleanTechnica in regards to the firm’s lineup of sunshine electrical autos (then often called Daymak Avvenire), however a latest press launch from the corporate means that manufacturing of the scooter is likely to be taking place quickly. Although Avvenire is its personal entity, Daymak is a big shareholder within the firm, and will probably be assembling and distributing the TECTUS, in accordance with a latest press launch.

Although the corporate doesn’t specify that the TECTUS is just for seniors, Avvenire made a number of references to that side not too long ago, saying:

“With the aging population being the largest demographic, there’s a growing need for year-round transportation. However, mobility scooters have lagged behind other vehicles in terms of innovation over the past two decades. Avvenire is revolutionizing the mobility scooter industry with its cutting-edge Tectus Mobility Scooter.”

One fascinating determination made within the TECTUS design is the normal trike structure — one wheel within the entrance and two within the rear — which isn’t almost as secure as a reverse structure (two wheels in entrance and one within the rear). It’s unclear why the corporate would go along with that design when each its Spiritus and Leggera electrical autos use the extra secure reverse structure.

The TECTUS Deluxe mannequin is priced beginning at $6,995, whereas the Ultimate mannequin is priced at $8,999, and Avvenire is taking a $100 deposit to order one of many items in the course of the pre-order part, though no info is obtainable on when precisely these pre-ordered autos will probably be produced, aside from someday in 2024.
