According to the overseas automotive media outlet Electrek, French company Cixi has recently introduced a revolutionary electric tricycle, the Vigoz, which has been aptly named as an 'electric scooter capable of hitting highway speeds.' This innovative vehicle seamlessly blends the enclosed body design typical of a car with the sleek, minimalist lines of a bicycle. The front of the Vigoz is adorned with LED headlights, windshield wipers, high-mounted brake lights, and a panoramic rearview mirror, enhancing both its aesthetic appeal and functionality.

The Vigoz features a fully enclosed body, and its interior design is a unique fusion of bicycle-inspired elements. It includes a recumbent bicycle-style seat that allows riders to recline and pedal comfortably. These pedals are equipped with a 'pedal energy recovery system' that cleverly converts human pedaling power into electrical energy to propel the vehicle forward. Additionally, riders can control the vehicle's speed and braking through their pedaling actions. In theory, riders could even recharge the battery by pedaling, although the efficiency of this process is somewhat limited.

Positioned as a highly practical mode of transportation, the Vigoz can comfortably accommodate a passenger in the rear seat or carry a significant amount of cargo. Its through-passage design makes it easy to transport long items, such as skis, with ease. In terms of safety, the vehicle's structure is designed with crumple zones that effectively reduce the impact forces on occupants during collisions, providing an added layer of protection.

Currently, the Vigoz prototype has already surpassed speeds of 100 kilometers per hour. The company is now focusing on refining the powertrain configuration to achieve a final top speed of 120 kilometers per hour. However, details regarding the model's release date, pricing, and pre-order availability have not yet been disclosed. Moreover, the regulatory compliance path for obtaining the necessary certifications remains uncertain, adding an element of anticipation to the vehicle's market debut.
