The famous Pujian Pass in China. Our
test track. A 850 metre rise winding more than 6 klms straight up. The Montana
will easily climb this peak in just over 30mins with 165kg rider on board.
Tested and proven endurance that no other scooter can come close to.
Stunning!
This is the most advanced motor and
transaxle assembly ever conceived and built for an electric scooter. The
motor is state of the art. High powered Rare earth magnets are 5
times stronger than normal DC magnets. The light weight gear case encloses precision powdered sintered
compressed gears. The highest quality Japanese bearings and seals are
combined with the latest technology synthetic
lubricant. Small purpose built Accent precision drive couplings finish
the drive train to the wheels. This is something to be proud of. 8 years
in development and endurance tested under load for 2,000 hours without a
brush change. Expensive technology but the outcome is well worth it.
This is not an adapted water pump gearbox. It really delivers smooth
efficient power like never before.

Pulled 165kg up a Mountain at almost 12 kph
Test conducted in May 2010 under ISO 7176 standards. Later models are improved.
Since 2020 all mobility scooters are speed limited to 10kph in Australia

The latest Montana has set a new record
of .4 amps/kph/hour. At least twice as efficient as
older transaxles. In some cases 3 times. Batteries last longer scooter
goes further. Less wear and tear.

I took this photo about two thirds the way
up the pass. What an exhilarating and spectacular ride. You must visit
the factory and do this ride one day. I weigh 80kgs and we put an extra
85kg in ballast on board. When we arrived at the base deep in the valley
I thought if we got 200 metres up this mountain we would doing be better
than any scooter I had ridden before. It's that steep. The photo does not
give a true indication of how steep it really is. I hit full throttle at
the bottom of the valley marked in red and the Montana went straight to
the top in 30 minutes at an average speed of 10 kph. Stunning. We
loaded the Montana into the van, took it to the bottom and did it again
15 minutes later. Nothing overheated, nothing stopped, nothing broke.
Perfection. Just a true test of the remarkable engineering skills of
Lotus Blake. How's it done you ask. Read on.
