STUTTGART: A Mercedes-AMG E-Scooter will soon be introduced to market as a means to close the "last mile" mobility gap in an eco-friendly way.
The E-Scooter's 9.6Ah battery allows a range of up to 40km, while a 500 watt electric motor enables the matt black e-scooter to accelerate quickly to 20kph.
Instead of a thumb throttle like most e-scooters have, it features a twist grip, which can be operated more intuitively and precisely.
Turning the twist grip forward activates the kinetic recuperation system for braking and recharges the battery at the same time.
Its low weight of only 14.7kg is an additional plus.
For ease of transportation, the Mercedes-AMG E-Scooter features an intuitive foot-operated folding mechanism and includes foldable handles.
This means that it also fits into a small car boot and can be carried conveniently on all forms of public transport.
It was developed in co-operation with Swiss micromobility specialist Micro Mobility Systems AG.
The Mercedes-AMG E-Scooter is braked either by an electric motor brake on the twist grip, with a drum brake at the rear or via the foot brake on the mudguard.
The focus here is naturally also on safety: thanks to a wide deck with anti-slip coating, a firm and secure two-footed stance is assured.
An integrated bell allows users to alert others to their presence in city traffic, while the centrally positioned display provides information on speed, charging status and riding mode.
