Dubbed the X1, the new all-electric scooter gets a 20km/h advantage over the current model – a top speed claimed at 100km/h – and a 0-50km/h time of under four seconds.
Depending on the consumer’s needs, the company can tailor the bike’s performance to the needs of the rider. It can tweak acceleration, top speed, regenerative braking, etc, and depending on the chosen set-up, the company claims a battery range of anywhere between 50 and 100km.
“After two successful years in operation, the time is right to bring manufacturing home,” the firm’s managing director Michelle Nazzari said. “We have the skills we need right here, and we’ve engineered a high performing product with a simple drivetrain, efficiently and cost-effectively built locally.”
The X1 will carry a retail price of $9890 and the first units will be available to would-be Australian owners from February this year.
