Moped car: 45 km/h Car from 15 or 16 – which models can I drive?

Image
  As a teenager, who hasn't dreamed of being on the road independently - and arriving at their destination dry? Until now, 15 or 16-year-olds only had the option of driving a moped or later a scooter. With micro-cars, a new world is opening up. We'll tell you whether the small cars are really an alternative, what the safety situation is, and which models you have to choose from. What is a moped car?

Formula 1 fans know it as part of the KERS, where the Kinetic Energy Recovery System is used, especially when overtaking. In roadworthy cars, it is known as recuperation. What is meant is energy recovery during braking. This system is usually found in all e-cars as well as some  hybrid vehicles . However, this process has not been reinvented for  electromobility . Rail vehicles such as cogwheel railways or some electric locomotives already use this so-called utility brake to feed braking energy back into the power grid. In the case of electric cars, recuperation recharges the battery. What is recuperation? The term recuperation comes from the Latin word "recuperatio", which means "recovery" or "reacquisition". It is a technical process for recovering energy. Recovery serves to increase energy efficiency. Recuperation can be found in many applications – especially in combustion plants, cars and trains. Braking energy does not always have to be used. Hot...
