Video: Meet the Danish QBeak




Is this a car? Yes, it’s a Danish battery car called the QBeak. Built by Danish electric-vehicle company ECOmove, the QBeak may go into production this year if all goes well.

Don’t ask me how it’s possible but the QBeak can actually seat up to six people. Looking at the pictures, I just can’t see that happening, unless they referring to dogs or cats, who knows? Anyway, the small QBeak measures 3m long, 1.75m wide and stands 1.63m tall and its body is made from scratch-proof plastic panels that can be easily replaced if damaged. The QBeak also makes use of sliding doors to minimise damage when parking in busy car parks.

This little car only weighs 425kg and uses two 35kW electric motors powered by 6 ‘energy modules’ of 4.7kW each. This translates into a top speed of 120km/h with a maximum range of 300km. I still can’t see six people squeezing into this car. Watch the video below and decide for yourself.
