๐Ÿ›ตIntroducing the Lapa Electric Scooter Carbon Fiber Chassis โ€“ the first of its kind in India! ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ

๐Ÿ”‹ With the electric two-wheeler market in India growing, new brands & innovative designs are emerging. Lapa Electric is one such startup. And this ia a whole new level ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘
1/9
Lapa Electric scooter is bringing some serious game-changing features to the table. For one, a CARBON FIBER monocoque chassis โ€“ a first for the e2W industry in India.
๐Ÿ’ช Carbon fiber is used in industries such as aerospace, military, civil engineering, and motorsports.
2/9
& for good reason. It's tougher & lighter than steel, and Lapa Electric is utilizing its benefits to the fullest.
๐Ÿค” But what does that mean for the scooter? Well, for starters, the carbon fiber monocoque chassis is so lightweight it can be easily lifted over the head๐Ÿ˜ฑ
3/9
๐Ÿ‘‰๐ŸผChassis weight hasn't been revealed. But creating the same structure in metal would have increased weight by a significant percentage
๐ŸฆพDon't let the lightness fool you โ€“ Lapa says its their carbon fiber monocoque chassis is 5 times stronger than a similar steel structure.
4/9
It's stiffer too, meaning it won't be easily bent or deformed.
๐Ÿ’ก Carbon fiber offers various advantages - low thermal expansion, chemical resistance, high strength-to-weight ratio. Plus, a carbon fiber chassis will be largely immune to corrosion, UV rays, and humidity.
5/9
๐Ÿ‘€ While offering improved durability, Lapa's carbon fibre monocoque chassis also means higher power-to-weight ratio. IN THEORY - Range could also be higher, with a smaller battery pack that helps reduce the cost of the vehicle.
BUT DON'T FRGET THE COST OF CARBON FIBRE.
6/9
๐Ÿ’ฐSpeaking of cost, the one challenge Lapa faces with carbon fiber is its expensive pricing compared to steel โ€“ about 10 times more expensive! It remains to be seen how they deal with this challenge. Premium lifestyle product๐Ÿค”#ElectricScooter #MonocoqueChassis #Lightweight
7/9
๐Ÿ‘Œ๐ŸผIn addition to the carbon fiber monocoque chassis, Lapa Electric scooter will have various other unique selling points, such as best-in-segment storage space & spider-web inspired alloy wheels that enhance the scooter's dynamic profile #LapaElectric #CarbonFiberChassis
8/9
๐Ÿ” Innovations have been introduced across other components too, such as the swingarm and suspension setup. More details will be revealed LATER, so stay tuned for updates!
