At the stand of KUBERG, fast, light and maneuverable Czech electric motorcycles for children and adults were presented. Young engineers from Moscow Poly demonstrated the STELS Guepard electric quad with all-wheel drive. The electric propulsion of this vehicle was entirely created by students from Moscow, while the rest of the electric quad was provided by STELS.
On-stage program
On the stage of the exhibition, the speakers of an open conversation on the hot topic “Individual mobility and infrastructure development” shared their views on the prospects for the creation of electric gas stations in Russia.
