From the handles down to the wheels, every detail of our e-scooters is designed to seamlessly protect riders and the people around them.
Not only do we put all our hardware through vigorous safety testing, we’ve
studied the bumps and turns across the roads that our e-scooters will be driven
on. That’s why all our hardware has 12-inch wheels and pneumatic tires for a
smooth, safe ride. We also chose to put the motor in the rear wheel to prevent
sliding on wet roads – a common cause of accidents in rainy European cities.
Our e-scooters are smart too. Each one has self-diagnosis functionalities, so if
anything stops working, the problem is automatically detected and communicated
to our central server. The e-scooter is then set as inactive and a request for
maintenance is sent to our team of experts.
And of course, we cover the basics. Our e-scooters have always-on front and rear
lights, unique high visibility patterns and reflective tape to ensure that
riders can always be seen, day or night. They’re also built to encourage
responsible rider behavior: there are bells to alert others when an e-scooter is
oncoming, and turn signals on our newer models to inform others about planned
movements. And, each one has a license plate, so drivers can be identified by
fellow e-scooters and traffic enforcement if they act recklessly.
Stability isn’t an issue either. Our e-scooters have a low center of gravity to
facilitate riders’ balance, and deck and handle grips to maximize stability.
Coming to a stop is just as gentle. All e-scooters are installed with a brake
system that uses front and rear wheel drum brakes, plus an electrical brake on
the rear wheel motor to prevent forward tilting. Neat, huh?
