Climbing ability in the test: Does the ARI Bruni master steep climbs?
When it comes to electric vehicles, it's not just range and efficiency that play an important role - climbing ability is also crucial for many drivers. Especially in mountainous regions or on steep underground parking garage entrances, the question arises: can a compact electric car like the ARI Bruni overcome these challenges? We put it to the test!
Technical requirements: Power and torque
The ARI Brun i is equipped with a brushless electric motor that generates an output of 15 kW (20 hp). This may not sound much compared to conventional combustion engines, but thanks to the high torque of an electric motor, the Bruni can efficiently transfer its power to the road. The vehicle is also particularly light, weighing less than 1,000 kg, which enables optimum power transmission.
Climbing ability in practice: 24% according to the data sheet
According to the technical specifications, the ARI Bruni has a climbing ability of 24% - an impressive figure for a vehicle in this class. But how does it perform in reality? In the test, we simulated various gradients, from 15% to more demanding climbs. The result: The ARI Bruni masters even steep passages effortlessly and without excessive energy consumption.
Riding behavior on the mountain: Powerful and safe
A major advantage of the electric motor is the immediate power delivery. While conventional vehicles struggle with gear changes or loss of speed, the ARI Bruni pulls uphill smoothly and without delay. Even from a standstill on an incline, it performs confidently - an important point for drivers who are often on the road in hilly areas.
Safety on steep roads
In addition to powerful acceleration, safety also plays a decisive role. The brakes of the ARI Bruni offer reliable deceleration, and the rollback protection ensures that the vehicle does not slide back uncontrollably on steep slopes. This is an important factor for a safe driving experience, especially on narrow roads or unpaved terrain.
Conclusion: Perfect for town and country
Whether it's an underground parking garage, Alpine pass or low mountain range - the ARI Bruni proves in the test that it can handle even challenging inclines with ease. With its combination of high efficiency, strong torque and light weight, it is a perfect choice for riders in mountainous regions.
