Some electric cruisers are designed with seating for two people.
However, the presence of a long seat or passenger seat does not by itself determine whether two-person operation is suitable or permitted.
The complete vehicle configuration needs to be considered.
The combined weight of:
should remain within the vehicle’s rated load.
The AS201 has a maximum load specification of up to 150 kg for the relevant configuration.
The total load should be considered rather than looking only at the rider’s weight.
A two-person configuration should provide a defined position for both occupants.
Foot placement is also important.
A passenger should not interfere with the rider’s control of the vehicle.
Adding a passenger increases total vehicle mass.
This can affect:
The rider should therefore account for the additional load when operating the vehicle.
Two-person use can be subject to specific requirements depending on the jurisdiction and vehicle classification.
A vehicle that can physically carry two people is not necessarily permitted to carry two people on public roads.
Distributors should check the applicable requirements before marketing a two-person configuration for public-road use.
The AS201 can be supplied with a long bench seat or dual-seat configuration.
The choice should be made according to the target application, total load and market requirements.
For recreational or private-property applications, the operating conditions may be different from those applying to public roads.
