Naon Lucy Electric Scooter with eco-friendly practical urban rating unveiled

German startup Naon has unveiled the Naon Lucy Electric Scooter. The new electric scooter comes with a minimalist design and it is touted as a practical urban runabout, aside from its eco-friendly credentials.

Sustainability is a major driving force that has seen the rise in the production of electric scooters and motorcycles. A lot of manufacturers prioritize sustainability and environmental awareness and the Naon Lucy scooter exemplifies this. The scooter is made from recycled materials in an environmentally friendly production process.

The company, Naon underpins its strategy based on functionality, aesthetics, and local production. It employs its workforce entirely from Germany and uses materials sourced locally for its production. Naon previously unveiled the Zero-One prototype with some exciting features. Naon has made substantial progress in the development of its first scooter and the Lucy is a production-ready model.

The Naon Lucy has a hub motor that can output a maximum of 7kW power and 200Nm torque. The battery pack consists of a 5.2kWh unit under the scooter’s floorboard. The battery can deliver up to 160km of range on a full charge. The Naon Lucy scooter has a lightweight aluminum frame and features an ABS disc brake system. It has larger wheels than the Zero-One prototype, as well as a new single-sided swingarm, a rear strut wishbone suspension system, and a double-bridge fork. The low-mounted battery pack of the Lucy translates to its being more stable and having a lower center of gravity.

The Naon Lucy scooter will reportedly come in two versions – one classified as an L1e electric moped or an L3e light motorcycle. The top speed of the two versions is 45km/h and 100km/h respectively. The prices of the L1e and L3e versions of the Naon Lucy are around $5,270 and $6,877 respectively.
