Good memories, a thought that brings beautiful sensations, causing us joy, memories we shared with our loved ones. Some of these are blurry or choppy images like a film of yesteryear but loaded with nostalgia are present, and we yearn to go back in time. For me, one of them is the memory of pedaling a car that my father built for my siblings and me.
What child did not dream of having his vehicle? Yearning to pedal as fast as possible or even better than his brother pushes him and feels like Juan Manuel Fangio.
Is it possible to return to those longed-for moments? What about having a vehicle for two people that resemble a formula one? With a pedal-assisted by an electric motor and that in the future will also be able to roll on abandoned railway lines, that is fun, ecological, elegant, that does not go unnoticed and causes more than a look of wonder and envy.
Reaching a design result is not easy. Every day is a challenge, hundreds of calculations, mechanisms that do not work, trial and error, emotions when a solution is found. Resilience when it comes to starting from the beginning. Despite everything, there is no better reward than seeing how each piece of the puzzle takes shape.
First functionality, second body design to make sure styling and lines are beautiful.
On the test day, get on the prototype vehicle, start pedaling, listen to the sound of the gears shifting smoothly, add some throttle, and feel that there is enough power generated by the engine to travel more than 20 km per hour without effort, feel the wind on my face and return to that happiness of when I was a child. South Mobile is born a reality for those who vehemently want to venture into a new game, and what better in a special destination.
There are places that you fall in love with, one of them is the Colchagua Valley in Chile, with vast fields and small hills, with its Mediterranean climate, enclosed between the high Andes behind the Pacific Ocean with icy waters, a privileged place to produce a perfect wine. It is not a coincidence that here it is the cradle of the best vineyards in Chile. The cold winds from the coast and the Andes cool the vineyards, extending the ripening of the grapes to give them body and accentuate the flavors and aromas of the most exquisite Carménere, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot wines.
What a beautiful sensation than visiting the old adobe and tile wineries aboard the South Mobile, stopping at small country restaurants, talking with local people, discovering Chilean culture and cuisine, enjoying and learning in each of the prestigious vineyards that we visit.
