The Peugeot HYmotion3 Evolution concept is an evolution
of the HYmotion3
Compressor which was revealed the year before. Basically
the HYbrid3 Evolution is a roofless version of the HYbrid3
compressor.
The scooter features electric motor in each of its two
front wheels and a naturally aspirated engine at the rear,
it uses hybrid technology solutions to achieve its 3-wheel
drive capability.
In order to allow the two front wheels to lean, the front
suspension system of the HYmotion3 Evolution consists
of deformable parallelograms with a central transverse
damper.
The advanced braking system incorporates an ABS system
with a linked integral braking system (PBS) which acts
simultaneously on the rear wheel and the two front wheels.
The braking system operates by means of three ventilated
discs and, in addition, via the front electric motors
which in this way recover energy to recharge the batteries.
This assembly (3 wheels + electric motor braking) also
makes it possible to reduce the braking distance by around
30 % compared to a two-wheel scooter equipped with traditional
brakes.
The petrol engine providing the concept's rear wheel drive
has an output of 41 horsepower (30 kW). This new 300cc
engine, which is linked to a compressor, obtains the performance
of a 500 cc unit whilst offering reduced levels of CO2
output.
In addition to rear-wheel drive, the HYmotion3 Evolution
also has another drive mode.
Two electric motors, one in each wheel, are present at
the front of the vehicle. With an output of 2x3 kW, they
are powered by lithium-ion batteries which can be recharged
by an energy recovery system active during deceleration
and braking.
As a result there are no mechanical connections between
the front and the rear, with everything controlled electronically
("by wire"), which works in favour of the vehicle's compact
size.
