“The doors open like wings, in Lamborghini mode,” jokes Jérôme Zindy, as he makes us climb into the back of his QBX Sorean, a strange quadricycle, covered in this cool morning where the thermometer does not show not more than 4°C.
The Sainte-Croix Cathedral in Orléans (Loiret) is damn beautiful from the seat of this intermediate vehicle.
This is what rolling objects are called, between the bicycle and the car.
But we should not take the QBX as a simple tourist curiosity, Jérôme has already traveled more than 1,500 km on board and has yet to drive as much.
A surprising turnaround for the young man who spent ten years of his professional life in car rallies before “taking an ecological slap in the face with the drought of 2019”.
Arzens (Aude), Millau (Aveyron), Toulouse (Haute-Garonne)… The young man is carrying out a tour of France for the ecological transition agency (Ademe) of these crazy-looking bikes, but which respond to a real need.
“Look at this SUV, more than a ton of metal for just one person,” growls Jérôme Zindy with the virulence of a convert.
