Tyre giant, Goodyear announced plans to enter the urban mobility sector earlier this week. The company plan to launch two electric scooters in September 2016.
The scooters, named the e-Go1 and e-Go2 will be sold through existing car and bike dealers. They feature lithium-ion batteries that can be charged easily at home, are said to be capable of a claimed 60-mile range and a top speed of 28mph.
The e-Go1 is a light-weight stand up vehicle that can be folded up, whilst the e-Go2 is a more conventional seated scooter, albeit in a futuristic fashion. It\’s robust, has a special shock absorption system for comfort and twin front wheels for added stability.
Recommended retail prices are £2350 for the e-Go1 and £3600 for the e-Go2. The eco friendly, zero emission scooters will be congestion and parking charge free.
