Highway compatible

Vigoz is approved for use on all public roads, including highways.

Its top speed of 120 km/h allows for safe overtaking and maintaining a fast cruising speed
. With a height of 165 cm, the Vigoz remains visible to larger vehicles while offering the rider excellent visibility, all within optimized dimensions of 154 cm in width and 350 cm in length.


Active tilting ensures a smooth ride and excellent handling in corners. With the PERS pedaling system, you have full control over acceleration and slowing down to a complete stop, whether you prefer a gentle, sweat-free ride or a high-intensity workout.

160km battery range

The 22 kWh battery fully recharges in 6 hours using a standard 220 V household socket. Regenerative braking and pedaling input also help extend the range.

Its range has been studied and defined within the French Alps region, near the borders of Switzerland and Italy, an area where people commute to larger cities while still enjoying nature and small-town life. This is a new kind of transportation, a different way to use energy and resources.

Build to last

With an approachable design language meant to connect with the pilot, supported by a sturdy chassis, accessible components for repairs, reduced and replaceable bodywork parts; plus, over the air updates, we project the VIGOZ to have a life cycle of at least 15 years before is properly recycled and disposed.

We believe this effort is not about being ecologic, it’s the minimum standard future products have to live up to.

An extension of your body
Thanks to the PERS Chainless pedaling technology you are in control of the vehicle ALL THE TIME. From the first pedal stroke, feel the responsiveness of the vehicle control and how easy understands when you want to accelerate or maintain your speed. Retro-pedal to slow down and recharge or make it safely all the way to a full stop.
Reverse ? You guessed it, just pedal backwards and move with precision.
It’s safe, for real !
The VIGOZ is being developed with people in the center of it all,
figuratively and practically.

WEATHER PROTECTION
A comfortable ride in all seasons. VIGOZ is designed to be practical in your everyday lifestyle, whether it rains or shines. Simple to use sliding windows and an HVAC system to regulate the vehicle’s inner temperature for you to ride comfortably and adjust to your desired pedaling intensity.

Most Frequent Questions

Question 1

"Alright, but what if you suddenly get a cramp on a main road ? What do you do then ?"

When you stop pedaling, the VIGOZ slows gently, you can also stop safely with hand brakes. To relieve a leg cramp: breathe deep, massage, stretch, and use the pedals in Training mode (vehicle remains stationary). Once the cramp is gone, resume pedaling to prevent recurrence. Stay hydrated and eat bananas. 🍌

Question 2

“Airbags, please. I like fruit jam, but human pulp on the roads is difficult to remove.”

We loooove confiture in France, as much as people and safety too. In cars, airbags are necessary because the steering wheel is in front of the driver. The steering in VIGOZ is below the driver, and the 3-point safety belts are safe enough for both the rider and passenger. The VIGOZ won’t ride until you buckle up, it will remind you 😉

Question 3

“Does the position negatively impact steering control, especially during emergency maneuvers?”

Not at all, in fact it improves it. VIGOZ steering feels natural, like a bike, Your arms rest in the steering bar, making the vehicle an extension of your body. Emergency maneuvers? We successfully completed the "moose test"—our prototype avoided a sudden obstacle at 65 Km/h while remaining responsive.

Question 4

“Does the light weight of the vehicle make me more vulnerable on the road?”

The VIGOZ surpasses L5 crash safety standards and meets European car regulations. Its lightweight, compact and robust architecture makes it safer than many compact lightweight cars. Additionally, its 165cm height greatly enhances driver and surrounding visibility, making it easily noticed by bigger vehicles — even when tilting.

AUTOMATIC STEERING
FOR ACCESS

​Welcome to the VIGOZ, the steering bar folds automatically whether you open the left or the right door—whichever is opened first—This automatic retraction creates a significantly wider and unimpeded path, making it exceptionally easy for the driver to access or exit the vehicle. Once the door is closed. The steering smoothly returns to a stowed position ready to ride.

The path is the objective

At CIXI, we want to ‘reactivate’ daily transport and contribute to the revival of our modern lives. We want to transform these ‘passive’ journeys that are part of our busy days into moments of conscious effort, so that we lead more active and healthy lifestyles.

Reintroducing just 30 minutes of moderate physical activity into our day is fundamental to a better quality of life.
Made in Annecy,
a laboratory for active mobility
We do our best to support our local economy and reduce our environmental footprint. All vehicle design, development (R&D), and assembly occur in Haute-Savoie, in our facility in Poisy, near Annecy. We are happy to elevate French and European expertise in active mobility while fostering a dynamic regional ecosystem.
