Smart’s electric scooter Smart joins MINI with confirmation of electric scooter for Paris.
The battle to rule the urban jungle is hotting up! Just as MINI confirmed that it will show an electric scooter concept at the Paris Motor Show, Smart has got in on the act with the announcement of its own electric two-wheeler.
Details are scarce at present, but the vehicle is called the escooter, is powered by lithium ion batteries and has a range of 60miles. Safety is high on the list of priorities too, with a special airbag designed to protect the rider in the event of a smash.
The move by parent company Daimler is part of a wider plant to expand the Smart range to more varied kinds of urban mobility solutions. The firm has already partnered up with Renault to produce the replacement for the ForTwo in 2012, and will add a larger ForFour version soon afterwards.
The scooter isn’t a production certainty yet, and is said to be one of several vehicles the firm is currently evaluating to add to the Smart line-up.
