hyundai‘s e-scooter is powered by a 10.5 ah lithium battery and weighs around 7.7kg so it is easy to carry around. it also features a compact tri-folding design which makes it even more portable.
a digital display shows battery status and speed; while, for nighttime riding, the new scooter is equipped with two stylishly-curved front led headlights, and two rear tail lamps. the company also plans to install a regenerative braking system to increase the scooter’s range by 7%.
‘this is the vehicle-mounted personal scooter which could be featured in future hyundai motor group vehicles,’ says dongjin hyun, head of hyundai motor group robotics team. ‘we want to make our customers’ lives as easy and enjoyable as possible. our personal electric scooter makes first- and last-mile commuting a joy, while helping to reduce congestion and emissions in city centers.’
the newly unveiled scooter actually builds on an earlier prototype unveiled at CES in 2017. it remains a developmental prototype with no word on when a commercial model will be available. there’s also no word on price or what it might be called.
