Press review 

Driving the Kangoo be bop Z.E.

An initial event was organized in the Paris region in June and July 2009. Several journalists got the chance to drive the Kangoo be bop Z.E. – for a new take on consumption and mobility.

 

A few excerpts from articles written about the event:

 

“The electric Kangoo accelerates with surprising verve. Just press lightly on the accelerator pedal and it zooms forward, despite 250 kilos worth of batteries.” (Le Monde)

 

“Press on the remote door opener and a gauge, replacing the regular door strips, displays the battery charge level.” (Aujourd’hui en France)

 

“If you saw it in the street, you'd stop and stare. After all most of us think that electric cars belong in the realm of science fantasy, but that won't be the case for much longer.” (Irish Independant)

 

The single-speed transmission makes for seamless, stress-free progress.” (Car)
