Not long ago, when I was browsing the list of CIMA Motor’s favorite car models of the year, I found a very interesting model-Doufeng D1, an electric inverted three-wheeler from Taizhou Doufeng Vehicle Industry Co., Ltd.

Nowadays, the homogeneity of channel-type products is becoming more and more fierce, and the competition of entertainment-type products is also becoming fierce. If new car manufacturers want to settle down in today's motorcycle market, differentiated product routes are very timely choices, such as inverted three-wheeled + Electrification.

A quick video

D1 was exhibited at the Milan exhibition in 2019. At that time, the combination of electric and reverse three-wheel drive attracted the attention of many international friends. After all, the reverse three-wheel product is still very popular in Europe.

The first thing that attracted me was the combination of wheel layout and driving mode. After I got to know it a little bit more, I didn't expect that D1 would bring me a hint of surprise. People can't help but feel the momentum and leapfrogging pace of the new car building forces.

Compared with the inverted three-wheeled products on the market at home and abroad today, the shape of Doufeng D1 has a sci-fi feel, with square lights and big eyes, and clear lines. It is especially different from other inverted three-wheeled products with a symmetrical double lamp combination, D1 The combination of the upper and lower split headlights is very eye-catching.

When it comes to electrification of new energy sources, car fans are most concerned about the power and endurance of the vehicle. According to the data, D1's power module configuration is divided into two types: mid-mounted 3000W and mid-mounted 5000W. What is the level of this power parameter? Let me make an analogy. At present, the flagship model of a well-known domestic brand electric car is equipped with a 3000W motor as standard. The official claim is that it is "comparable to a 125CC motorcycle". This "comparable" level can be discounted appropriately, but it can be used as a power reference. In terms of endurance, the D1 is equipped with 4 sets of extractable lithium battery packs, and the convenience of charging has been improved to a certain extent, but the specific specifications of the battery pack are still unknown. The official said that the cruising range is 200km. The braking system is front and rear disc brakes with CBS.

The characteristic of this kind of inverted three-wheeled product is that the driving quality is relatively stable. This smooth characteristic comes from the "black technology" built into the vehicle. It is understood that the stability of D1 comes from its automatic balance ability based on gyroscope technology and chip correction of the first two wheels. If the first two tires are not attached to the same horizontal line, the body will not be excessively tilted and the height difference between the two wheels Can reach 20cm. In addition, D1 also has a parking balance system (one-key parking), which is a configuration that can make people more "lazy"-the vehicle always maintains an automatic balance state, whether it is a short stop, a red light, or Get off the car and pick up, no need to support the car. When you get in the car again, turn the throttle to automatically unlock the parking.

In other configurations, there are LED lamps for the whole car, 7-inch TFT instrument, and two adjustable instrument modes.36L seat bucket space,With reverse gear... The information on paper is not enough to give us a very comprehensive understanding of the Doufeng D1. We can only guess the driving performance of this car based on experience.

Provincial and municipal leaders inspect the Doufeng D1 model

But it’s okay. Doufeng will participate in this Chongqing Motor Expo. I can’t wait to see how amazing this electric reverse three-wheel drive that provincial and municipal leaders are paying attention to is. After all, electrification + reverse three-wheel drive still looks like It's very "intelligent".
