The Spanish automobile company SEAT is the latest to join the electric scooter craze. SEAT just announced that they have developed a new electric scooter along with the electric mobility company Segway-Ninebot.
SEAT shifts gears to electric scooters
SEAT has apparently been working with Segway-Ninebot for some time on the development of the new eXS electric kick scooter.
SEAT plans to debut the new eXS electric scooter on November 13th at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona. The company will be offering test rides as a way to gauge consumer feedback regarding the new electric scooter.
SEAT is using the opportunity provided by the growing popularity of electric scooter sharing programs to widen its product reach. The company aims to solve the issue of urban mobility with not just cars, but with smaller personal electric vehicles that may be more appropriate in many cities.
SEAT apparently designed their eXS electric scooter in-house, and Segway-Ninebot lent the electric technology from their ES2 electric scooter. The Segway ES2 is a relatively inexpensive consumer-level electric scooter.
The eXS electric scooter will feature 8 inch wheels as well as dual suspension to smooth out unforgiving terrain. The electric scooter’s top speed will be limited to 25 km/h (15.5 mph). It should contain enough batteries to reach 45 km (28 mi) on a single charge.
In addition to testing their new scooters in their hometown of Barcelona, SEAT is looking for other Spanish cities to serve as test beds.
