For electric Peugeot e-Rifter, Opel Combo-e life, Toyota Proace City Electric, Fiat E-Doblo and the Citroën Ë-Berlingo
B-Style has developed a B-Active WAV conversion kit for the fully electric Peugeot e-Rifter, Opel Combo-e Life, Toyota Proace City Electric, Fiat E-Doblo and the Citroën Ë-Berlingo.
The fully electric Peugeot e-Rifter, Opel Combo-e life, Toyota Proace City Electric, Fiat E-Doblo and the Citroën Ë-Berlingo as a wheelchair accessible vehicle also known as WAV.
B-Style has developed a B-Active WAV conversion kit for the fully electric Peugeot e-Rifter, Opel Combo-e life, Toyota Proace City Electric, Fiat E-Doblo and the Citroën Ë-Berlingo.
With the B-Style B-Active WAV conversion kit, partners of B-Style can easily transform an electric Peugeot e-Rifter, Opel Combo-e life, Toyota Proace City Electric, Fiat E-Doblo and the Citroën Ë-Berlingo into a wheelchair accessible vehicle.
During the development of this new conversion kit, important points of both the end user and the converter have been taken into account.
The advantages for the end user consist of a very favorable low entry angle, which makes it very easy to drive a wheelchair passenger into the vehicle.
Thanks to the Braun restraint system you are assured that the wheelchair passenger is safely secured in the vehicle.
The wheelchair passenger position is very spacious and offers a lot of headroom.
The Pop-up ramp is fixed during the ride, so there is no rattling or disturbing noises.
The B-Active WAV conversion kit for the electric Peugeot e-Rifter, Opel Combo-e life, Toyota Proace City Electric, Fiat E-Doblo and the Citroën Ë-Berlingo comes standard with the B-Style Pop-up ramp which is unique in the market.
The Pop-up ramp can be folded in completely horizontally, so that the loading space remains available for transporting luggage when no wheelchair passenger is present in the vehicle.
The unique distinction of this Pop-up ramp is that it automatically raises 45 degrees from a horizontal folded-in position when unlocked.
This is to ensure that the ramp can be unfolded with minimal effort and without placing a heavy strain on the user's back.
Folding the Pop-up ramp is also very easy because the B-Style Pop-up ramp is made of a special plastic honeycomb structure finished with aluminum panels, making it one of the lightest ramps on the market.
If you really want to go for an ultra-light ramp, the ramp can optionally be equipped with an extra gas spring.
Since an electric vehicle is very quiet, the rattling of a ramp would be very annoying. The Pop-up ramp is firmly fixed in both horizontal and vertical position, so that it is free from rattling.
The B-Style B-Active WAV conversion kit is supplied as standard as a 5+1 version. This means that after conversion the vehicle can accommodate 1 driver, 4 passengers and 1 wheelchair passenger.,
For Taxi transport, B-Style offers the option to add 2 extra folding seats on the third row, so that the vehicle can accommodate 7 people, excluding a wheelchair passenger. (driver + 6 passengers)
For families it is also possible to opt for 2 separate seats on the 2nd row, so that more interaction can take place between wheelchair passenger and other passengers.
The wheelchair position is finished by using vinyl that provides extra sound absorption and the edges are finished with stainless steel finishing profiles. The choice for stainless steel in combination with vinyl was made because plastic finishing covers often soon show signs of wear.
Optionally, the wheelchair position can be equipped with LED lighting.
The retractors (belts for securing the wheelchair) are safely located under the 2nd row of seats so that they do not get in the way.
When converting a vehicle into a wheelchair accessible vehicle, it is necessary to saw the rear bumper to make room for the ramp and the lowered floor.
Where other parties choose to place the rear bumper back on the ramp, B-Style chooses to mount it back on the tailgate so that the distinction between a non-converted vehicle and a wheelchair accessible converted vehicle is minimal.
To absorb the extra weight on the tailgate, B-Style supplies new gas springs for the tailgate.
Converting a vehicle to a wheelchair accessible vehicle is a major adjustment to the base vehicle.
After all, a large part of the body is sawn away from the vehicle.
With the electric Peugeot e-Rifter, Opel Combo-e life, Toyota Proace City Electric, Fiat E-Doblo and the Citroën Ë-Berlingo, this challenge was even greater as there is a battery pack directly under the floor of the vehicle.
Many manufacturers do not allow modifications to the battery pack without voiding the warranty on this expensive component.
Disassembling the battery pack also leads to the expiry of the manufacturer's warranty for many manufacturers.
This has been the reason for B-Style to ensure that the conversion can be carried out without making any adjustments to the vehicle's battery pack.
The battery pack remains under the vehicle during the conversion and remains unaffected.
Thanks to this unique way of converting, you are assured that the warranty on the battery pack remains valid.
