I live the mountain area of Puerto Rico and in one route to get to my house there is a steep hill with a grade of 14%. I am wondering how is the Aptera goin to handle that kind of road. Would it be safe to travel on that particular road with a 3 wheel vehicle? I have travel this same round on a motorcycle and jeep without issue. Just wondering how would this one would fare. I guess I will find out when I get delivery some time around 2022 or 2023.
If the company has provided any information about hill climbing and hill grade, please link info or provide it.
Thanks!
It will be fine even with FWD.
My FWD 500e BEV is heavier, with less power, narrower, slipperier tires, & comparatively non-existent traction control*. It goes up the 14% grade that I live on no problem at all.
*If I floor it the wheels spin at least 1/2 revolution before the computer kicks in.
Aptera spins 1/32 revolution!
