Although the presentation of the Ev Fun Concept has not yet occurred, but it will be tomorrow, we already know much more than expected. In fact, design records published in Australia have exposed the final model, revealing to what extent the prototype EV FUN CONCEPTshown in the last EICMA From Milan, it has evolved towards a product suitable for day to day.
In fact, the EV FUN CONCEPT He surprised at the time because of his daring and minimalist appearance, typical of a prototype. However, the production model introduces necessary modifications to comply with the regulations and be practical on the road.
New elements that stand out from the ev Fun concept in its final version
- Rear registration support, homologated flashing and reflectors on the front train.
- A larger lighthouse, which maintains the bright horizontal strip as a visor, but now framed by upper and lower LED strips.
- A rectangular TFT screen protected by a small windshield, instead of the concept circular display.
- Redesigned side fairing that hide part of the refrigeration and battery system.
The result is a motorcycle that retains the stylistic essence of the EV fun concept, but with a more solid and mature air, clearly, closer to a commercial product. The analysis of the filtered drawings allows to intuit a cycle part very similar to that of already known models of Sling.
The front fork remembers the SFF-BP Showa 41 mm used in the CB500Faccompanied by brake tweezers Nissin Radials of four pistons and double front disc. Instead of the wolf discs of the EV Fun Concept, conventional albums now appear, surely cheaper and easy to produce in mass.
The front wheel maintains a sports inspiration design, although with a more robust and functional fenders. Behind, a peculant monobrazo stands out that clearly shows secondary transmission, in this case by means of a dentated strap, protected by side covers.
Indeed, Sling He has not yet revealed definitive technical data, but there are some clues. The Ev Fun Concept was presented with a battery compatible with fast charging CCS2 and an estimated autonomy in more than 100 km, a modest but sufficient figure for urban paths.
What remains secret is the power of the electric motor. The fact of mounting double disco suggests that we talk about respectable benefits, most likely higher than current and in line with a light naked of 300/400 cc of combustion.
Another key point will be if Sling Opt for a fixed or removable battery. In Asia, the brand has driven together Yamaha, Suzuki and Kawasaki he “Interchangeable battery consortium”, A project that seeks to standardize this system. However, in this model oriented to Europe and Australia it is more likely that the battery will be fixed and rechargeable in plug or fast charger.
The body leaves some aggressive lines of the prototype to gain fluidity and simplicity. The fairings seem designed to optimize the air flow and protect the electrical components, keeping in view of the engine, which gives it a touch that reminds of traditional Naked. The motorcycle transmits the impression of being a mixture between a CB500F electric and one Neo Sports Caféwith futuristic details such as LED lighthouse and digital instrumentation.
The greatest mystery is what it will be called. The nickname “Ev fun“It worked in a concept, but does not seem suitable for a catalog model. So far, Sling It has not registered any specific denomination linked to the project, although it would not be strange if it was integrated into the family CBto reinforce continuity with its Naked range.
On September 2, (that is, tomorrow) we will know all the details in the official presentation, which is expected to generate great media attention, since it is a new step of Sling on large -scale production motorcycles.
The arrival of this model does not mean that Sling Go abandon the short -term combustion engines, but it is a clear sign of where your future strategy points. The company has already announced that in 2025 it will present several more electric models, both urban scooters and larger motorcycles, with the aim of reducing its carbon emissions to zero by 2050.
