    The LEVA-EU member has been testing the performance of its MULE-1 ahead of its integration into VIGOZ’s light electric vehicle prototype.

    Meanwhile, the E-ROE ONE, equipped with CIXI’s PERS technology, successfully completed a demanding round trip on the Col de l’Iseran mountain pass on a single charge, showcasing its impressive performance.

    The progress and next stages of CIXI’s VIGOZ vehicle

    Following the presentation of its Looks-Like Build (LLB), which revealed the final exterior design, the company has continued testing with the MULE 1 prototype. Unlike the LLB, the MULE 1 is a fully functional model without bodywork and has already demonstrated the ability to reach speeds exceeding 100 km/h.

    The forthcoming phase will see the integration of exterior design with performance capabilities into a complete prototype. This version is expected to combine all systems developed so far, blending technology and performance features with user comfort, into a fully realized vehicle.

    Beyond prototype development, the steps were outlined for VIGOZ’s industrialization and certification, including:

    • Scaling up production
    • Validating components
    • Optimizing assembly
    • Ensuring durability and repairability

    The company’s target is to launch the first certified, road-ready VIGOZ models via subscription, with fleet availability to follow. Pre-orders will begin once delivery timelines are finalized.

    CIXI’s PERS system proves its strength on the Col de l’Iseran

    Recently E-ROE highlighted the performance of its PERS chainless system with a demanding test in the French Alps. The system powered a 56 km round trip on the Col de l’Iseran, which is the highest paved pass in Europe at 2,764 meters. It delivered 1,340 meters of elevation gain on a single 1,440 Wh battery.

    Jean-Philippe Banquet, CEO of E-ROE, praised CIXI for its system’s reliability with the following statement.

    “Your PERS has enabled us to climb the highest mountain pass in Europe, at 2,764 m: the Iseran Pass! Apart from a few adjustments and comments on the user experience, which we will discuss at our next meeting, everything worked perfectly! 56 km round trip with 1,340 m of elevation gain, all on a single 1,440 Wh battery thanks to energy recovery on descents and an average speed of 25 km/h!”

    More details about this trip can be accessed on CIXI’s website.

    Whats next for the PERS chainless technology system?

    Beginning in October, new PERS kits will be released for pedelec bicycles and last-mile delivery solutions. These will feature a software update designed to improve pedaling comfort, enhance overall performance, and introduce new functionalities. By year’s end, large-scale connectivity features such as remote diagnostics are also expected to be rolled out.

    With its chainless technology, E-ROE is positioning the PERS system as a versatile solution tailored to the needs of professional users.

    The LEVA-EU member that develops next-generation pedal-assisted vehicles has revealed its latest prototype, VIGOZ, an active vehicle that’s designed to reach speeds of up to 120 km/h. The announcement marks an exciting development in merging innovative design with advanced engineering in the micromobility sector.

    The newly introduced prototype integrates technical, ergonomic, and usability considerations into a fresh vehicle architecture. Stakeholders and team members recently experienced the VIGOZ firsthand, from its physical design to its interactive user interface.

    Meanwhile, development continues on the MULE 1, a fully operational high-performance test model that’s capable of reaching speeds of over 100 km/h.

    Next steps

    According to CIXI, the upcoming phase will focus on combining the functional performance and production-ready aesthetics of both VIGOZ and MULE 1 prototypes into a single, fully functional vehicle.

    Following this stage, the company plans to enter industrialization and certification, a process that includes scaling production, refining components, optimizing assembly, and ensuring long-term durability and reparability. The ultimate objective is to bring a certified fleet of CIXI vehicles to market through a subscription-based model, with widespread rollout expected in the coming years.

    Pre-reservations will be available once delivery timelines are confirmed. Interested users are encouraged to join the VIGOZ Club for updates.

    The company has credited its progress to the dedication and expertise of its team, emphasizing that the latest milestone would not have been possible without their collective efforts.

    For more information, CIXI invites the public to learn more about the project by following its official website and social media channels.
