Audi says its sleek new $2,000 electric scooter rides like "surfing waves" on pavement

Aug 9, 2019, 00:53 IST

Audi says the e-tron Scooter can reach speeds up to 12.5 mph in a straight line, but can also handle "unusually tight curves" due to the movable axles and four wheels.

The handlebar is intended for gripping with only one hand, allowing riders to give hand signals to others with their free hand. Most electric scooters require two hands, but the skateboard-like movement design allows for safer operation.

Audi claims the riding style is similar to "surfing waves." The handle allows riders who aren't expert surfers or skateboarders and easy way to ride.

The 26-pound scooter can be folded and towed like a trolley. It has a 12.5-mile range, which is archived through regenerative breaking.

There are multiple options for the LED lights on the front and rear of the scooter: a headlight, daytime running light, rear light, and brake light.

Riders can connect their devices to the scooter via Bluetooth, providing protection against theft and allowing riders to adjust ride characteristics.

The scooter is being designed with decks made of either wood or carbon, each with black and grey designs.
