Now I have launched a crowdfunding campaign for PodRide. • Check out the new movie and the campaign at Indigo: https://igg.me/at/podride/x/13298299 • www.jmk-innovation.se • PodRide Pitch • PodRide is a small, very energy efficient commuter vehicle that can run on both roads and bike paths. It offers a comfortable, weatherproof and practical means of transport that unlike electric cars really can reduce emissions in the world. • Presentation • PodRide is a velomobile that is meant to be a practical every day vehicle. • It has approximately the same sitting position and seat height as a small car, allowing easy access and good visibility in traffic. • It has four wheels to be narrow enough for bicycle paths but still be stable in the curves. • It has a full body made of fabric, front and rear suspension, 14 gears, 250w electric motor and batteries from an electric bicycle. • It is design to be used for commuting and other shorter trips in urban environments up to 20km one way. • Eco • A normal electric car is unfortunately only marginally better for the environment than a modern petrol car, and in some countries with much electricity from coal and oil it is actually much worse then driving a petrol car. • But with a small energy efficient vehicle as Podride you really lowers the emissions and the environmental impact. • Co2 emissions lifecycle calculation: • Good diesel car 150g / km, good petrol 208g / km • Electric car on EU electricity 162g / km, totally clean electricity 75g / km • PodRide on EU electricity 17g / km, totally clean electricity 10g / km • • Market • My assessment is that with large-scale production the price would be 2-3000€. • And then I think many people would be interested. • Today they sell 60 million cars and 130 million bicycles per year in the World • There are over 1 billion cars in the world now. • If one percent of that market could be made to choose a vehicle that is a cross between a car and a bicycle, it will be 1.9 million units. • 1.9 million units with a sales price of € 2,500 resulting in revenues of € 4,7 billions. • This is just speculation, but there is certainly potential if you succeed! • With the environmental and traffic problems we have today as background I believe the trend will move toward small energy efficient vehicles. • And in the long term 20-30 years, I think it will be sold more small PodRide-like vehicles than passenger cars.
