Lenovo has carved a name for itself in the PC market where it is presently ranked among the top 2 manufacturers worldwide. The brand has also made some impact in the smartphone sector even though it is struggling in that aspect presently. Lenovo has equally dabbled into the manufacture of smart products such as smart band, smartwatches, hearable devices (earbuds, earphones), robot vacuum cleaners and several others. The Chinese tech giant has now revealed its intention to launch a smart electric scooter soon.

Electric vehicles (EV) are the future of transportation as a result of their lesser impact on climate change. Countries are already enacting regulations that would see manufactures migrate from gasoline vehicles to EVs. Already, electric scooters are extremely popular means of transportation in China and other parts of the world where public transports are often crowded especially during rush hour. Lenovo is aiming to catch in on the trend with what would be its first electric vehicle.

The product is said to go by the moniker Lenovo Smart Electric Scooter M2 and will adopt a patented folding design for ease of carrying. Lenovo Smart Scooter M2 uses magnesium alloy materials widely used in aerospace, automotive and military fields. Compared with the more popular aluminium alloy material, this material has a stronger impact resistance which further guarantees user safety.

At the same time, unlike the usual folding design of similar products on the market, in order to reduce wear during continuous folding and also enhance the stability and portability of the vehicle, the Lenovo Scooter M2 uses a patented flat gear lock folder innovation technology for the folder. This patented technology not only fixes the body better and improves the handling of the smart scooter, but it also folds more easily than competing products. In addition, Lenovo Smart Scooter M2 comes with several smart features which allow users to lock the scooter through an app. Users can also view parameters such as battery level and others.

The M2 scooter packs a 350W power, three gear levels, triple braking, and triple shock absorption systems. The battery is said to last for a mileage of 30Km which isn’t any different from that of the MIJIA Electric Scooter.

The pricing and availability details are yet to be revealed. We’ll have to wait until the product is officially launched. For now, no launch date has been set.
