Maxi-scooter Horwin Senmenti 0: Finally a competitor at BMW CE-04

If the BMW CE-04 is of some success, it is alone in its segment of the Electric Maxi-Scooters. Even more lonely than the electric electric scooters and motorcycles beyond 125 cc does not take off for the moment, the fault of autonomy and charging times not at all suitable for the practice of 2-wheeled.

To expand the offer of a sector nevertheless seeking relevant solutions, Horwin, Austrian manufacturer, presented the Senmenti 0 at the EICMA 2022 show. We do not have all the details yet, but on paper certain characteristics are enticing.

Developed around a chassis bringing together the battery block, the engine and the controller, the Senmenti 0 arises as a maxi-scooter with a generous length of 2.14 m, but with the weight contained of 185 kg. The all-in-one construction would allow the manufacturer to gain weight and space, but also better energy efficiency. This type of argument requires to be verified, but we are also curious to see if the figures announced will be validated.

Indeed, the Horwin Senmenti 0 is animated by an electric motor developing 600 nm of torque, powered by a battery of 16.2 kWh which would authorize 300 km of autonomy (speed of 88 km/h). The 400 V platform allows it to be compatible with fast load and fill up with electricity in 30 min. The announced performance is not to be outdone with a top speed of 200 km/h and a 0 to 100 km/h shot in 2.8 s. What to overshadow the CE-04 and start to interest motorcyclists, in theory.

Another interesting feature, the Senmenti 0 is equipped with around thirty sensors and other driving assistance, such as a hill start and descent assistance, environmental recognition with blind spot alerts, rear traffic, traction control orABS CORNER. A automatic adjustable bubble, handles and a heating saddle will also a priori part of the panoply. In short, the Senmenti 0 seems to be a super-scooter adorned to face all everyday situations. There remains the question of the price which, unofficial, could turn around € 20,000.

On its stand, Horwin also presented a prototype in the form of a style study, the Senmenti X. If the technical base of the powertrain remains a priori The same as the Senmenti 0 with a 60 kW engine, the chassis is more futuristic with a driving position less on horseback and especially a fork at the front of the mono-Bras type based on a single cantilever inspiration shock and a anti-mute system. There is nevertheless little chance of one day seeing this prototype on our roads.
