Ride Quality

The mindset is, as regards performance, in a class of its own. It’s not just its individual characteristics, but rather the combination of them, that produces such a one-off. The 70kW motor sits well in the lightweight vehicle. The acceleration – 0-100 km (0-60 mph) in 7 seconds – already promises great driving pleasure, and even more impressive is the perception of performance, since the entire torque band is more-or-less continuously at your disposal. The mindset’s top speed – electronically limited to 140 km/h – is reached rapidly, and that this limit presents no drawback for everday use is witnessed by the fact that these days very few stretches of German Autobahn allow you to drive at a higher speed. The rest of Europe has long had limits in place and will soon be under electronic surveillance. Responsibly sporty – that’s mindest’s idea of the performance of the contemporary Commuter.
