QP36s

The QP36s is a compact, lightweight, and portable electric vehicle designed by the Chinese manufacturer QP New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. Introduced in 2021, it is positioned as an affordable urban mobility solution, particularly suited for short-distance commuting and city travel. The vehicle is classified as a low-speed electric vehicle (LSEV), adhering to regulations that allow it to operate at speeds up to 25 mph (40 km/h) without requiring a full driver’s license in many regions.

The QP36s features a minimalist, modular design with a foldable frame, allowing it to be easily disassembled for storage or transport. Its body is primarily constructed from aluminum and carbon fiber, contributing to its lightweight nature while maintaining structural integrity. The vehicle typically seats one or two passengers and includes basic amenities such as a digital display, LED lighting, and a compact storage compartment. Some models may also offer optional accessories like a rearview mirror or a small cargo rack.

Under the hood, the QP36s is powered by a brushless DC motor, delivering a range of approximately 25–30 miles (40–50 km) per full charge, depending on conditions. It is equipped with a removable lithium-ion battery pack, which can be charged via a standard AC outlet, typically taking around 4–6 hours for a full recharge. The vehicle’s efficiency is enhanced by regenerative braking, which helps extend its range.

The QP36s is marketed as an eco-friendly alternative to traditional motorcycles or scooters, emitting zero tailpipe emissions and producing minimal noise. It is designed for urban environments, where its compact size and ease of maneuverability make it ideal for navigating congested streets and parking in tight spaces. However, its limited speed and range restrict its suitability for long-distance travel or highway use.

The QP36s has gained attention for its innovative design and accessibility, appealing to urban dwellers, delivery workers, and eco-conscious consumers. While it remains a niche product in the broader electric vehicle market, its affordability and practicality have contributed to its growing popularity in certain regions, particularly in China and other Asian markets.
