2000 Peugeot Bobslid Concept


The 2000 Peugeot Bobslid Concept is a revolutionary three-seater electric vehicle that challenges traditional automotive norms. This innovative concept is driven by an unconventional yet efficient system featuring ten 500-watt motors powering each wheel. The wheel design is particularly noteworthy, with the inner toothed surface of the wheel rim in constant mesh with the gears of the electric motors. These motors are evenly distributed over the wheel's surface, eliminating the need for a traditional axle.



In a departure from the conventional steering wheel, the Bobslid incorporates a unique control mechanism. Turns are executed by adjusting the speed of wheel rotation, and the driver maneuvers the vehicle using two levers reminiscent of a tank's controls. This design choice adds a futuristic touch and enhances the overall driving experience.



The distinctiveness of the Bobslid extends to its wheel configuration, where the rear tires boast a diameter of 730 mm, while the front ones measure 560 mm. This design choice contributes to the vehicle's dynamic performance and maneuverability.



The Peugeot Bobslid Concept, presented at the Paris Motor Show in 2000, represents a bold exploration of electric vehicle technology and unconventional design, showcasing Peugeot's commitment to pushing the boundaries of automotive innovation.
