Buggy E-Speedstar is a vehicle that has been converted from gasoline to electric. The chassis is made of light metal tubes. The battery is powered by a 72V, 5A charger that charges the battery to full charge within 7 hours. The advantages of Li-Ion batteries compared to lead batteries are that they do not lose capacity and provide a constant voltage. Insight into the battery charge is possible through the mobile application. The E-Speedstar has a hydraulic disc brake system that provides better stopping power. Also, the braking power is returned to the battery, which increases the driving range.
