Hyundai Motor’s built-in type foldable e-scooter unveiled
By Kim Da-solPublished : Aug. 27, 2019 - 16:10
According to Hyundai Motor, the latest e-scooter will be built into Hyundai and Kia Motor vehicles and can be automatically charged by using electricity generated from driving a vehicle.
Hyundai’s e-scooter runs on a 10.5Ah lithium-ion battery, allowing a 20 kilometer range on single charge. The top speed will be 20 kilometers per hour.
The automaker said it has been working to install a regenerative braking system that could increase the range of the e-scooter by 7 percent.
The tri-folding e-scooter has two round-shaped LEDs in the front and two rear lamps. It weighs 7.7 kilograms, the lightest model on the market, according to the carmaker.
In 2017, the automaker has showcased a portable-mobility concept Ioniq scooter at the Consumer Electronics Show, in an aim to satisfy growing consumer demand for last-mile mobility amid expanding market size globally.
Industry data showed that global last-mile mobility market size will grow to worth $500 billion by 2030.
“There have been attempts in the e-scooter industry, but this marks the first from a carmaker to design a built-in e-scooter that goes with a vehicle. Our e-scooter will become the first-and-last mile solution for the future of mobility,” said an official from Hyundai Motor Group’s Robotics team.
