Seen right here for the first time within the flesh, the purely electrically pushed 'escooter' uses a 48-volt lithium-ion battery p.C. Positioned behind the paneling inside the foot location and is able to visiting as much as 100 kilometers (over 60 miles) on a single rate.
The corporation says the batteries may be fully recharged through any general household electricity socket, within three to 5 hours. The charging socket is located at the the front of the scooter below a hinged clever emblem.
