The Spanish based team entered a Quantya into a 24 hour enduro race near Barcelona. The race teams included only 1 bike, and 4 riders. The aim was to do as many laps of the track in the 24 hour period. The Quantya team placed 27 out of the 41 teams who finished the race.
The Quantya Track was a custom bike modified to allow for quick and easy battery swaps which are normally not possible with the Quantya bikes.
See the video below to see the Quantya Track in action amongst all the other combustion engine bikes.
They should make them standard this way ie Battery Change should be easy on them all!!
Yeah, why not ship it with two batteries and this easy was to swap them. One charging, while the other is in use.
I agree with Alex, A quick change battery pack as standard would open up more possibilities for a wider range of riders, hire operators etc.
Yes, a second battery pack is not a cheap item and most buyers would not need / buy one, but I am sure there would be many people put off by the max riding time in one day of the standard setup.
For hire operators, a second battery is much cheaper than a second bike!
For people considering one of these for Trail riding / enduros etc away from electrical outlets, 1 1/2 to 2 hours riding is quite limited for a whole day, but changing the battery pack at lunchtime and getting another 2 hours… thats enough riding for most of us!!
Apart from that, what a great looking machine. I have watched a couple of videos on You Tube, and yes, I’m impressed!
It is now a possibility. We are yet to confirm details but if this is something that you are genuinely interested in then get it touch as we can do that.
ahhh haaa , glad to see I’m not the only one saying we need a quick-change battery !
We do have fast change battery modification packs now, but batteries cost £4,000 so you need to be pretty serious about enduro. Having said that – we would like to try something – we will happily provide spare batteries (and mod packs) for cross country, green lane, trail riders or enduro rally – and even bring a few bikes for an electric enduro relay race to get press and media coverage. Interested? Best time? Best place? Best riders?
