The Leffert FM-50\/FM-55 goes about 50 km\/h and the FM-90 4\u00d74 goes about 45 km\/h. The FM-40, FM-80 and FM-100 all go about 40 km\/h. It is possible to have the maximum speed reduced by Frisian Motors, for example for safety reasons at events or recreational grounds. You can choose which limited maximum speed you want. This speed limit has two forms: fixed and variable. With a fixed limit, we ensure that the machine will not go faster than the desired speed. With a variable limit, a manager key allows you to switch between low and high speed.<\/p> <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n \n

\n\n
\n

Yes, the AGM battery packs used by Frisian Motors are the most environmentally friendly variety of lead-acid batteries. These batteries contain no acid and are therefore more recyclable. The new type of lithium batteries are also reusable.<\/p> <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n \n

\n\n
\n

The range is determined in part by the type of vehicle, driving style and type of terrain driven. The Leffert has a standard Lithium battery pack. This allows approximately 60-80 km to be driven per full charge. In cold weather and heavy loads, the range can drop to 40 km per full charge.<\/p> <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n \n

Frisian Motors uses standard AGM batteries for the Leffert FM-40, it is also possible to put a Lithium battery in it.<\/p>

For the FM-50, FM-55, FM-80, FM-90 and FM-100 standard Lithium is supplied in the vehicles. The batteries are lighter in weight but stronger in use. Also, these batteries last about six times longer than AGM batteries.<\/p> <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n \n

For our vehicles a saving of fuel cost of approximately 60% and 50% maintenance cost , because the vehicle has less moving parts, in comparison to the benzine edition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p> <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n \n

At every 3,000 kilometers, the Leffert should be serviced. Or a check-up at least once a year.<\/p>

Maintenance is performed through an authorized dealer or Frisian Motors. We also offer on-site service.<\/p> <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The most subsidies are for commercial users. National subsidies are mentioned on our website, but it always helps to ask local authorities for subsidies, like municipality or province. Looking at the fact that most subsidies are based on fiscal advantages is the expected advantage is for every applicant different.

If the dealer is based in your region, in most cases we will redirect you to the dealer. If there is no dealer in your region or you don\u2019t want to conduct business with the dealer in question than it is also possible to order by Frisian Motors. Also large corporates , municipality and institutions can in a lot of cases order directly with Frisian Motors. Do you want your machine delivered through your own local garden-, park- or mechanization supplier, than it is possible in most cases to do it directly with a dealer or Frisian Motors can arrange it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p> <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n \n

Yes, we can arrange extensive demo\u2019s. With preference at our factory, where everything is available and the coffee always ready is. Although it is possible to organise a demo through the whole Netherlands. However we first want to send a quotation and discuss which model and accessories we will bring.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Do you want to test a Leffert for multiple days? Then we recommend to firstly hire a vehicle (this is possible with Rentric). If you will purchase a vehicle afterwards, than we will offset the cost of the renting. In some cases there are more possibilities in consultation with the dealer.

Electrically powered is more efficient than a combustion engine. The total used energy is way lower and therefore better for the environment. In addition there is way less maintenance needed, because there are less parts that can wear out. If you use green energy sources to charge, than it definitely is good for the environment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p> <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n \n
