Bugatti has carved a niche for itself as a carmaker with luxury and speed considerations at the heart of its design philosophy. The carmaker is working on its electric hypercar but it has announced the release of its first electric vehicle, albeit it is an electric scooter with standard specifications. The new e-scooter is the result of Bugatti’s partnership with Bytech International.
The scooter weighs just 15.8 kg and is constructed with magnesium alloy and according to Bugatti, it is aerodynamic and functional. The e-scooter has a top speed of 30 km/h, thanks to its 700W electric motor. To put this machine in its right perspective, the Bugatti Veyron has a power rating that’s 1,000 times above the new e-scooter. The scooter is made for short city commutes and it is not certainly a hyperbike, maybe that could be under development through the Bugatti-Bytech partnership.
The frame of the e-scooter is accentuated with taillights that provide an aesthetically nice view while the vehicle is in motion. Sidelights project downwards from the deck to also create a nice illumination while the vehicle cruises. It also has turn signals, while the LED screen displays an array of notifications relating to battery usage, riding mode, speed, and light status. The scooter offers a range of 35 km with its 360 Wh battery which can be recharged easily via a standard wall socket.
The EV market is drawing rapid interest from traditional carmakers and Bugatti seems to be pursuing its business model along this line, although there is no word yet on a possible release date for the e-scooter. Of course, the pricing information is also lacking for the scooter, but it is projected that the company could attempt to leverage its pedigree as a luxury carmaker in fixing the price of the e-scooter.
